Info box My wiki is not up to scratch; can't seem to resolve the issue with the info box. Anybody able to help?

[edit]

The external links are growing and I think some are not compatible with Wikipedia:External links. Some should be adapted as references to support material elsewhere in the article. After a short period we should consider the remainder for removal. JMcC (talk) 23:55, 5 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Traffic Lights

[edit]

I'm sure there is pedestrian crossing up Bere Hill, if that counts. Can you also find a source for that information? --Wintonian (talk) 23:50, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Ok I lied - just checked Google and I imagined it, a source would still be good though. --Wintonian (talk) 23:54, 5 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Heh, 6 years late, how time flies, eh? Anyway, I assume this is about the piece of trivia (since removed) concerning Whitchurch being the "largest town not to have traffic lights [in the UK]". I added that when I was around 10 years old. You are indeed correct! I do remember there being traffic lights at Bere Hill. I learned the (false) fact from my geography teacher at the time, and I couldn't find a reputable source, and Wikipedia isn't the place for random trivia. Sorry it took me so long to respond, I only just noticed this message! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zackp30 (talkcontribs) 14:32, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Come to think of it, I've checked Google Maps as well, and the latest imagery (from 2011) shows no traffic lights. I definitely remember there being some though, I will check at some point! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Zackp30 (talkcontribs) 14:43, 8 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Do we really need all these external links to almost every amenity in Whitchurch? It seems rather a lot for the size of the article. --Wintonian (talk) 20:24, 1 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Sweeping Statement - sub section 16th Century

[edit]

...the people of Whitchurch were persecuted for their religious beliefs for six years until the death of Edward and the succession of Mary.

This needs close checking for historical accuracy - sounds like a mass-resistance by the population. In England individuals or small groups were punished for heresy but surely never whole towns?Cloptonson (talk) 19:18, 20 July 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Google couldn't find anything on the subject, should somebody (or me) remove this? I can't find a valid source for this. Zackp30 15:46, 18 November 2015 (UTC)[reply]
