London Boroughs 

Thanks for reviewing some of the London Boroughs pages, as you've noticed most are in a distressing state - and it's a good day when the page is extended from harmless to mostly harmless. I would however urge you to use the fact tag sparingly - either for things that don't make sense, or that are obviously disputed. I had a quick look round after you 'facted' London Borough of Barking and Dagenham and was quickly able to verify most of them from one source. If you had done the same, rather than leave it to me, we'd probably cut the work in half - but that's not to say you're wrong. They needed to be verified.

A bizarre example, which I noted you'd noticed is the London Borough of Tower Hamlets article. Somebody did a drive-by facting and reheading the page structure with stuff from the 'How to write about Geographical settlements' some time ago, they then didn't actually do any work on clearing up the mess they'd left - and, well, it left the page in a worse state than when they'd started. (They also did a lot of damage to other articles in Tower Hamlets, requesting facts all over the place, and marking it as 'lacking references'). You could consider marking pages  as this indicates that the page, or section, needs further referencing, and is much less disruptive.

Editors are all volunteers, and have a very mixed standard of production. Most of the articles are deficient in any text, let alone referenced material - and setting standards too high does dissuade people from contributing. There's a balance to be achieved, and that should be encouragement, rather than an over enforcement of rules. Where you believe articles are deficient, please do take a moment to try to reference the material, rather than leave it to others. (I actually take a bizarre pleasure in doing that!).

Anyway, thanks for all your hard work. I wish all boroughs had reached the standard of London Borough of Croydon. On a number of occasions I've tried to persuade WPLondon to do a blitz on a borough of the month (article by article), ultimately, I think it's what's needed to improve the London coverage. 

Cheers
