Talk:Street, Somerset

message: From the lead paragraph: "Street is a village... The town has a population of...". I think its a town, and http://www.mendip.gov.uk/visiting/ says "Mendip has five historic towns Frome, Glastonbury, Shepton Mallet, Street and Wells and many enchanting villages." which also suggests town. In the UK and particularly Somerset) the status as one or the other is not entirely logical so I haven't changed anything yet. Thryduulf 00:19, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Village or town?

message: As the 'town or village' discussion points out, the entry for Street is short in comparison with its smaller neighbour Glastonbury, for instance.
I have been thinking how it can be expanded, and so far have come up with this:

          o 1.3 Strete, Street
(Mention the burning of Glastonbury Abbey and the use of blue lias from Street in the rebuilding. Correct the sentence about the Roman road (which was 100 yards to the south of the medieval and modern road)
    * 2 History - 
fossils (strictly prehistory, but an important element in Street's identity). Mention the 19th century fossil hunters.
St Gildas
 
first Civil War skirmish on Street Hill
          o 2.1 Sharpham Park

thread_title:  Expanding the entry for Street, Somerset 

message: See this Mendip council link which talk about "village councillor". This Mendip council liknk which talks about "the village". This conservation area document talks about the village centre. The Street Society website front page talks about "The village". 
Street is a village. --TimTay (talk) 09:30, 9 January 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Other official sources refer to Street as a town.  See the tourist information centre website.  The fact that it has a parish council which has not decided to call itself a town council is not conclusive.  There is no official designation of town status in England, unlike city status and borough status.  Not all towns have mayors - usually only boroughs and former boroughs have mayors.  See Town#England and Wales.  In any case, the opening statement "Street is a small village" cannot stand, and I agree that the issue needs to be mentioned in the article.--Mhockey (talk) 14:59, 1 March 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Article now amended to mention the difference of opinion.--Mhockey (talk) 21:41, 10 March 2012 (UTC)
thread_title:  Town or village - revisited 

message: I've been looking at the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES and would be interested in what other editors think is need to get this article to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria? Obviously we need to reference (or remove) the uncited claims, but is there anything else which would be required?— Rod talk 09:30, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
