Talk:West Tilbury

Bibliography section
Is this helping or hindering what is quite a small article? I have moved it to below pending any others' thoughts.  Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere!  (Whisper...) 11:43, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * This Bibliography by the way has been added by User:Randal Bingley who features prominantly in the list!  Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere!  (Whisper...) 11:57, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * It's a good bibliography of books and articles related to West Tilbury. Randal Bingley (the author, who may or not be the same as Randal Bingley the Wikipedia contributor) is a respected author who writes on the subject of Thurrock local history. As far as I can see, they are all secondary sources the would be acceptable as citations. I can see no reason why it shouldn't be reinstated. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 13:56, 27 September 2011 (UTC)


 * A list of 30 seems rather disproportional for a small article; 14 of them refer to Bingley R  Brookie :) - he's in the building somewhere!  (Whisper...) 10:13, 28 September 2011 (UTC)

Charlesdrakew has requested citations for the landscape and geology section. A number of these are in the bibliography. I will add in-line citations and when something is used as a citation I will remove it from the bibliography below. For the time being I will keep a copy of it in my userspace.

 * I see no reason to remove this perfectly good bibliography. I am working through it to improve the article. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 16:26, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

Notable people section
I have trimmed these down to the minimum; two of the three already have Wiki entries - so I have linked these in. An entry on a place isn't the place for long convuluted biographies.  Brookie :) { - he's in the building somewhere!}  (Whisper...) 10:46, 22 March 2012 (UTC)

I have added some of the material on Gervase of Tilbury, deleted from this article to the Gervase article. Rjm at sleepers (talk) 19:45, 2 April 2012 (UTC)

Incomprehensibility
"The modern town of Tilbury is partly in its traditional area (including Tilbury Fort) but is buffered from it and mainly in the traditional parish of Chadwell St Mary."

I fail to understand this sentence in the introductory paragraph. Would a contributor like to rewrite it so that someone who has never been near West Tilbury might have some clue as to what he/she is trying to say. --Oldontarian (talk) 19:55, 1 May 2015 (UTC)
 * I have re-written it and removed the bit about Chadwell (which referred to Tilbury Town rather than West Tilbury). Rjm at sleepers (talk) 06:11, 2 May 2015 (UTC)
