Clean-Up

This article has undergone a major cleanup and rewrite - I made the history section shorter as it was lacking citations, but this can be increased in future once suitable citations are found. I updated some of the old information and added some sections, but I'm not sure how relevant they are and so I expect some of them might be removed. My aim is to get this article up to GA/A standard, but I'm not sure how difficult that's going to be. Could a more experienced Wikian let me know what specifically needs improving/adding to conform to a general structure of a "Places" article. That would be great.

Probably the first few sections are the ones in need of attention Etymology, History & Governance could do with some expansion and references. I was a bit confused under Governance as to the 2 parish councils. Could add what ward of Bradford it is in, details of parliamentary constituency & representation. May be even a mention of European representation to fill it out a bit from its single sentence at the moment. The lead is also in need of expansion usually aim for 3 or 4 paragraphs that summarise the whole article, see WP:Lead for details. Population gets a mention in the lead but not in the article body so I would add this somewhere in the body. Keith D (talk) 18:02, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Could also add some more images to go with the text, such as an image of the school in the Education section. Keith D (talk) 18:10, 14 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately I'm on a year abroad until June - might be able to get my folks to take some pictures and send them on. 79.208.144.63 (talk) 08:06, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

There is already a number on Commons that are available to use see commons:Category:Addingham Keith D (talk) 12:50, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I think you got the wrong end of the stick on my comment on the lead section. The lead section should ONLY contain information that is in the rest of the article. You have changed it and inserted in the lead the history & etymology which now are not mentioned in the rest of the article. Keith D (talk) 13:10, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Yes, I understand what you meant - I'm gradually re-adding the information that was removed in more detail. :) MrMarkBGregory (talk) 13:14, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Sorry jumped in too quick. Keith D (talk) 14:25, 15 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I tried not to copy too much from the original source, but I'll check it over again in the next few days to see if I can further remove it from the original. MrMarkBGregory (talk) 17:04, 16 November 2011 (UTC)[reply]
