In-tray Project 2009:1 Articles to create - historic lidos
  • Hornsey, Park Road Pools, was Hornsey Lido (1929) usual source - brief mention added to Hornsey#History (reduce detail when new article exists)
In-tray Project 2009:2 Articles to check

Droitwich_Spa_Lido has article issues. Brief rewrite with new headings needed.

If the parent article seems long, it's not unreasonable to split off the swimming pool section as a new article. Note that the guidance of WP:CFORK applies.

General improvements to other pages (2009)

1. Lidos

. Check against www.lidos.org.uk
. Refine Category:Lidos
. Add better in-line sources
. Gravitate Lido di Venezia away from Lido as a shortcut using search with the aim of moving it over to the more commonly used sense
. Collate source list for reuse

2. Swimming pool - edit very US-centric page and add citations. Perhaps add something to Talk:Swimming pool first.

Note Talk:Swimming pool#lido
