Talk:Chelsea, London

message: Why Chelsea, London, England? I should have thought plain Chelsea ewas the right place for this page. Or, at worst, Chelsea (England). Tannin
Hmmm: as I thought: on checking, I see that all the other Chelseas are named after this one. Should be at Chelsea. Tannin
Having been brought up just the other side of the river from Chelsea, I would normally agree, however, to many people in Britain, Chelsea means Chelsea F.C.. Of course to USAians it means other things. Mintguy 10:04, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)

replies: text:  Guess we will let it sit and see wha the general opinion is for a while then. I would have thought that this was a clear case of the "Paris, France rule". Tannin 10:13, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Although Chelsea has vast important historical significance, I can't honestly say that the case for hogging the limelight at Chelsea is quite so clear cut as some other places of equal significance. Modern Chelsea is a district rather than a borough or a town, it isn't a place with clearly defined boundaries or a separate administration. Chelsea is part of the Royal Borough of Kensington and Chelsea. Mintguy 10:23, 3 Sep 2003 (UTC)
thread_title: Chelsea, London, England

message: Considering how important this area is, this entry seemed a bit sad to me. I've given it a quick once over, but will add more pix later (I cannot believe there were none!). More is needed too on the World's End as a sub-district, but I am going to create a separate entry for that, it deserves one. Nonetheless the industry round there and the strange history of Cremorne Gardens also deserves a mention here.
Oh - and does Armitage Denton really deserve such an in-depth entry for an important district like Chelsea, nice old codger as he seems to have been? Being an inclusionist, I would suggest giving him his own entry and just a brief mention here. Tarquin Binary 15:51, 23 January 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Bit neglected 

message: The article says:
:However it does give the strange result that some of RBKC is in SW1W.
Why is that a strange result? In England, are postcode boundaries usually coterminus with council boundaries? —Felix the Cassowary 12:10, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: This section is headed with the statement "Chelsea probably has more Blue Plaques than any other district of London. Some of the great and not-so-good who have lived here include:" I will be removing this statement as the use of "probably" doesnt seem very precise or indicate any research.

thread_title:  Famous Residents 

message: The tone of this article seems a bit odd throughout- phrases like "Chelsea once had a reputation as London's bohemian quarter, and likes to think of itself as the haunt of artists, radicals, painters and poets." stick out to me (it's an area, it doesn't think at all!). I wasn't sure about the cleanup tags because I haven't used them before so I tagged it for copyedit. MorganaFiolett 14:54, 14 November 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  Chelsea.x 

message: Well, I find this a bit contentious. I was previously informed by (insert author's name) that all of the London area names that end in "ee" meant that they were all islands in the swampy lower Thames area. That is to say that the "ee" sound meant "island" in old anglo saxon and that Chelsea, Battersea and Bermondsey were islands and in fact Battersea meant "Peter's Island".  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 165.12.252.111 (talk) 01:11, 30 September 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of name 

message: The history section jumps from about 1800 to Swinging London (via a mention of the artists' colony) with no mention of the extensive residential building undertaken in the nineteenth century, which gave Chelsea one of the highest population densities in London. Also, I'd have thought that St. Mark's College - the first(?) teacher training college in England - deserves a mention. Norvo (talk) 01:31, 15 November 2009 (UTC)

message: I think it's disingenuous to say Chelsea FC are "located in Fulham". Whilst Stamford Bridge does indeed sit within the LB of Hammersmith and Fulham, it is not in Fulahm (which is a separate settlement in that Borough). It's reasonable to say Stamford Bridge is in Chelsea, as the district boundaries are ill-defined and stretch across Borough boundaries.
A similar situation occurs where West Kensington (for example) bleeds into Hammersmith and Fulham - though no one would argue that the Olympia Exhibition Centre is "in Hammersmith".  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Polkatronixx (talk • contribs) 10:28, 26 October 2014 (UTC)

message: The article say Chelsea is in South West London. This link takes you to the article South London which as defined in the article is Greater London South of the River Thames, but this article states Chelsea is north of the river. This hipocritical inconsistency is present on other pages regarding to London boroughs. Should this be altered? As I don't know how many pages this occurs on or am not from London I don't know if this is actually a problem or not just wanted to point it out. Mn1548 (talk) 14:59, 22 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: "Hypocritical" is a rather unfair accusation to level at Wikipedia editors. I think you just mean "inaccurate". And if you feel it is inaccurate, you can edit the page and change it. Perhaps you could also find a better source while you're at it - the current citation is out of date and doesn't support any claims about the location of Chelsea.
