Why is it only Sacred Heart that gets a mention?

Should there be capitals on the bullet points of famous residents?

The northern gets a mention, but not marine.

The swimming baths could get a mention? and the beach, and the iron men, and the coast-guard station.

Also the fact it was mentioned in the doomsday books.

Any ideas? Jcoatz 10:31, 13 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Merge?

Would think this article should be merged with Crosby, Merseyside. For practical purposes there is no distinction. RodCrosby (talk) 15:18, 10 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

A merge isn't the right answer, as there are articles for Waterloo, Merseyside and Blundellsands which also fall within Crosby, but are not part of Great Crosby. There may be others (Little Crosby? Maybe Seaforth?) - I haven't looked too hard. But the Great Crosby article needs some focussing on Gt Crosby rather than Crosby in general. So I'll change the reference to the Plaza cinema to make it clear that it is in Waterloo - and there are other tasks to be done. Grblundell (talk) 13:53, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Does Great Crosby actually exist, or is it only a historical place? There seems at lot of duplication and hence confusion between the two articles. I suggest if the article continues to exist it should be a minimal article, with clear pointers to the Crosby article. I still think merging would be better, with a separate section within it on the historical area of Great Crosby. RodCrosby (talk) 19:21, 18 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Great Crosby and Crosby articles should not be merged, Great Crosby today is mearly the main area of the town of Crosby which gave the town and the old municipal borough its name, despite the confusion that exists, Great Crosby is not the actual town itself but is the largest area of it which was a urban district in its own right, which also contained Blundellsands and Thornton as well as the area that is modernly defined as Great Crosby which merged with Waterloo with Seaforth urban district to form the Municipal Borough of Crosby and defined the town of Crosby in its present borders. The areas of Blundellsands and Thornton today are considered to be Culturally, Socially and Historically a part of the modern town of Crosby and Historically part of the urban district of Great Crosby but are now separate neighbouring areas to Great Crosby which has an area today which is much smaller than the historical Urban District, So therefore Great Crosby today is mearly an area of the modern town of Crosby and is thus not the town itself. I have indicated this difference between town and area on both the Great Crosby and Crosby articles by listing the areas that are considered to be part of the town, in the Crosby article, and by stating that it is an area of Crosby and not the Town of Crosby itself, in the Great Crosby Article.

I disagree with User:Gr8opinionater Great Crosby should be merged in to Crosby as i am not aware an one refers to the area as Great Crosby, it is simply Crosby. This is a simplistic view of course. A more detailed study is needed. However i disagree with Gr8opinionater's sweeping changes that have been based on old boroughs, notably saying Seaforth and Hightown was part of Crosby, which has caused a lot of confusion on not only the Crosby page but the other surrounding districts.

A lot of Great Crosby and Crosby are duplicating each other, they are the same location. Babydoll9799 (talk) 12:44, 17 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Whatever happened to this page being merged with Crosby? They are the same in my opinionBabydoll9799 (talk) 20:27, 2 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
