Speedy tagging

[edit]

No idea why this has been tagged - Large festival attended by hundreds of people - Notable example of Cornish Culture being revived and reinterpreted - Far less notable festivals have articles etc Reedgunner 11:25, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

This is not a speedy, well known festival with coverage from BBC. Notability may be an issue (680 unique Ghits) but speedy is not appropriate. --manchesterstudent 11:26, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Wholly inappropriate tagging, notable example of development of Cornish culture into modern times. DuncanHill 12:08, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

References

[edit]

IMO, the BBC link would be a reference and Enjoy England an external link and not vice versa. --Tikiwont 12:55, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I have used both as inline references Fosnez 13:29, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I see, but not how Enjoy England would qualify as reliable source. --Tikiwont 13:36, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Enjoy England is the domestic marketing arm of VisitBritain[1], which is part[2] of the Department for Culture, Media and Sport - Fosnez 13:46, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
As you say, it is a marketing arm and the link tells me that Bolster day is a 'must see'. --Tikiwont 14:01, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
My citation was for the "Throughout the year St Agnes has a busy programme of events such as Bolster Day" to clarify that this is a actually an event. The marketing chaff can be weeded out, I was more concerned with using attributable facts out of the article. Fosnez 14:12, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Sorry, I didn't relise that EnjoyEngland wasn't in the external link section - I have added it there as well now. Fosnez 14:16, 11 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Bolster legend is quite well known in England's West Country. It is referenced by Hilary Mantel in her Wolf Hall trilogy. --Ef80 (talk) 19:37, 5 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
