Talk:Moss Side

message: Information deleted by middayexpress on community remains relevant and so I have reinserted. Also, the following paragraph was not adjusted, making it flow badly. There are not many Polish or Indian restaurants in Moss Side so have deleted .   — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dorlomes (talk • contribs) 19:33, 30 June 2013 (UTC)

replies: text: The Somali senior organizations are in Greater Manchester. There are though several Polish/Eastern European and Indian/South Asian restaurants and eateries in Moss Side specifically. I've clarified this point. Middayexpress (talk) 18:15, 7 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Moss Side community

message: The article states: "Creating new inclusive facilities which serve the Black community and others has been key to the regeneration of Moss Side, following a history which has included a considerable experience of racism and social exclusion." 
No evidence to support this. In fact the article opposes this view with the history of inclusion starting with the Irish and than continuing to modern-day Somalia community. Why than has this sentence been included in the article when it is clearly false?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 84.71.66.154 (talk) 12:24, 25 May 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Racism, contd

message: I note on the Moss Side feature that the 1970s are made to look very pleasant indeed and that certain information from the BBC had been twisted.
"Analysts say the city's modern gang culture began in the 1970s in deprived areas where it was often hard to make money through legitimate means."
is what the BBC actually wrote about Manchester - http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/manchester/5334510.stm
But on this site the origins were vaguely referred to (the 1970s were not mentioned) and there was then mention of a "1980s boom". A "boom" is usually when something is at its height, and that as far as Moss Side and gun crime is concerned, happened LATER than the 1980s.
I have made a small alteration to report what the BBC actually said.
Can we try to stick to facts? The 1970s were hard times for many, and certainly not a paradise to live in. It seems there is an agenda in this article (as in so many Wiki articles) to make the 70s out to be splendid and blameless - even if this means mis-reporting the BBC! 
Sorry if I seem rude. I really don't mean to be. But it seems to me that 70s rosy coloured specs seriously blight Wikipedia's accuracy at times. Objectivity is surely the word!

thread_title:  The 1970s - Let's Not Rewrite History! 

message: Photograph of a vintage tram in Heaton Park - added 2010-02-25
Not sure this photo is suitable for article on Moss Side. It is misleading in that people will assume, though the text says otherwise, that it is somehow in Moss Side. Moss Side has no trams, at present. An historic picture of a tram in the area would be more suitable - but even so, such a picture would be better used with some discussion of trams in Moss Side, mabye some history of the old tram station which is located in Moss Side and is of some historic significance. Interesting though it is, this picture can be much better viewed in the article on Heaton Park in north Manchester. 
For these reasons I believe this photo should be removed.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Mayking (talk • contribs) 11:23, 26 February 2010 (UTC)
thread_title: Photo of tram

message: The introductory section contains historical information which is reproduced in the same or similar form in the history section. It would improve the article if the introductory information were edited, with any reference to the history of Moss Side being combined and placed with that in the history section.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by Isherking (talk • contribs) 08:34, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Moss Side's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "Almanac":
From List of parishes in the Diocese of Salford: 
From Newton Heath: 
From Moston, Manchester: 
I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 04:00, 3 June 2020 (UTC)
