Note on recent additions
Hi. The changes you made recently to Chislehurst and Catford have been reverted because of concerns about lack of encyclopedic value. Wikipedia is not a collection of indiscriminate information, and unless a particular incident in a town/district can be considered to have "long-term historical notability" it probably doesn't belong there. Though these events may have had significant news coverage at the time, that doesn't necessarily mean it needs to be documented in that town's article. After all, if every town's article was to document all the murders, major crimes, bank robberies, bomb threats, etc. etc. then a lot of articles would soon contain little else! A good rule of thumb is if an event is significant enough to justify an article on its own, it should indeed be mentioned in related articles in brief, with a link to the larger article for more detail. ~Matticus TC 15:07, 11 July 2007 (UTC)
