Saddleworth Beer Walk

[edit]

I've made a formal proposal of merging the Saddleworth Beer Walk article into this article. I've done this because:

  • The Beer Walk article is only two paragraphs long.
  • The Beer Walk article is POV and poorly formatted, even as a stub.
  • The Beer Walk article is more-or-less a duplicate of what's found on this page.
  • The "Saddleworth Beer Walk" is a poor choice of title, given that the larger festival is so much more (band contests, religions observations etc).
  • The Saddleworth article would benefit from the extra content anyway!

If anyone objects to this, or would like to pass comment/give feedback, please do so at Talk:Saddleworth Beer Walk.

Additionally, I think that the Saddleworth article is in desperate need of some TLC; I'd take a look at articles such as Oldham, Shaw and Crompton and Huddersfield for more inspiration. Thanks, Jhamez84 18:58, 30 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Rushcart merge

[edit]

I am strongly against this merge for the following reasons:

  • the Rushcart article is almost as long as the Saddleworth one, and would swamp it with unnecessary detail
  • the Rushcart festival is not exclusive to Saddleworth - I associate it primarily with Shaw and Crompton.
  • the Rushcart article is as yet expandable to a degree that would be impossible if relegated to a subsection of another article
  • the average reader looking for detail on British festivals would expect the detail in a devoted article, not as a smaller section of a geographical article.

Point taken but the article as it stands is written exclusively as the Saddleworth Rushcart Festival. Perhaps renaming Rushcart to Saddleworth Rushcart Festival would help eliminate confusion. --Brad101 08:04, 12 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]
There is no confusion - all that is required is for some extra information to be added to the existing article about the other Rushcart festivals. Separate articles for each festival misses the underlying unifying and encyclopaedic theme of the rushcart. Aquilina

[edit]

Hello, I made a revert to a WP:BLP breach with this diff. www.imdb.com is not a reliable source as it is an open source website.

A more reliable source is required to assert this material in the article. Thanks, --Jza84 |  Talk  01:01, 22 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Peterloo

The Saddleworth contingent to the meeting which became 'Peterloo' in 1819 marched under one banner, among others, 'Liberty or Death' (see the Times report of the disturbasnce), which may have been the most extreme of all the banners there. It's also worth looking at the conversation with Hervey Rhodes (whose ancestor George Rhodes carried another Saddleworth banner), in George Ewart Eavns's 'From Mouths of Men' (1976).81.153.23.148 (talk) 10:45, 8 March 2016 (UTC)[reply]
