message: A section on churches in ilfracombe would be a good addition and is requested.
The link "[8] Christian Fellowship Church, Ilfracombe" is fine but it needs to be mentioned somewhere in the article as this is not a directory. [[User:Definition12|Moz14:29, 22 July 2006 (UTC)

message: Although I admit John Fowler's holiday park probably employs the most people of any tourist resort in Ilfracombe, the sentence makes it look like John Fowler's redevelopment of his facilities will solely shift the economy back to tourism. It will help, but it's rather the local governments renewed commitment to the redevelopment of the economy toward tourism that will cause this shift.
In all honesty though, the major industry in Ilfracombe has always been tourism, and won't be shifted back, it's already there. JHJPDJKDKHI! 02:11, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

message: I removed some of the information below.
"Humdrum conumdrum street drumming band and many live musicians who give life to the Farmers' markets held in the lantern centre. 
    
- Sport ... Ilfracombe Football Club, Golf Club (110 years old), Rugby Club, Tennis Club, Bowls Club, Table tennis Club, Swimming Club, Cricket Club as well as the Yacht club and for the smaller boats Bicclescombe park model boat club as well as Sea Cadets, Brownies, Scouts....  
"
I don't know much about 'humdrum conumdrum street drumming bands' but I don't think they are very notable. The farmers market is though, expanding on that with an apprpriate link would be great but you really need to register.
I will try and comment about the rest abit later but would appreciate if you expand on the cricket, yacht club information.

Hi there is photograph of Ilfracombe during a storm on Flickr. It was taken during a storm in April 2002 from a position on Lantern Hill very similar to that picture taken in 1890; I think the comparison would be useful. The photograph is mine and is free access, it has been used by the weather watchers and in several publications as a demonstration of "climate change", actually it was simply a big storm and a beautiful evening FrankPearson 21:02, 18 December 2006 (UTC)

text:  Hi Frank, good to hear from you! That would be excellent. I'm not sure how to attribute copyrighted works on wikipedia. I fear wikipedia has gone completely down the line of open content even if permission is sought and gained. I will get back to you on this. There may be a tag we can use to get around it, if so it would be an excellent addition. I also need to crop the image you refer to JHJPDJKDKHI! 08:36, 11 January 2007 (UTC)

message: In today's Times there is a report that Gloucester City Council is going to build on its success in limiting the growth of its seagull population.  They have discovered that if a plastic egg is placed in the gull's nest, the birds will continue to incubate it for the whole season, and thus not breed again!
Dunno how you might persuade this into the Ilfracombe article, but thought it was at least pertinent (and a little amusing!).

message: I thought it apppropriate to create an article on the architecture of ilfracombe, in hindsight this is probably more suited to this history section of this article but alot could be written on this subject were we able to obtain the right materials easily. Alas, what is available online is scant, however, a Jim Bates has gone to the trouble of drawing many notoble buildings and explained their history on his site below.
Also, does anyone know what the best way is to format the article in question?

message: The coat of arms appears to have been orphaned by one of the latest edits. Upon review of it I think it is in the public domain because of expiary on such works. I believe it's over 75 years old.
Also, some edits have erased some information about he economy and some useful formatting. I will sort that out at a later date. The architecture of ilfracombe page I created is quite funny. Especially as it appears in the category of archetecture by city. I will try and format it to look a little like the city architecture pagesJHJPDJKDKHI! 16:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry. The recent infobox change left the article with an A3-sized area of white space (take your pick whether 'A3' refers to the paper format, the trunk road, or 'Flying Scotsman' (the steam loco)!!). My fix was rather quick-and-dirty, just to restore sanity! (Oh, and someone removed the seagull as unnecessary! Boo-hiss!) EdJogg 17:32, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  I think we should get the picture of the seagul back up. In my opinion it brought part of the article to life and several people who I showed the article too, commented on how they liked that picture in particular. JHJPDJKDKHI! 15:52, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

Very nice image but I'm unsure how best to incorporate it into the article. It would look very good next to that 1890s image, as frank suggested. However there is one issue about this that there perhaps needs to be something in the text about the storm. -- Supposed (talk) 20:50, 16 November 2007 (UTC)

message: The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
*Per Wikipedia:Context and Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), months and days of the week generally should not be linked. Years, decades, and centuries can be linked if they provide context for the article.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), there should be a non-breaking space -   between a number and the unit of measurement. For example, instead of 3 km, use 3 km, which when you are editing the page, should look like: 3 km.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (numbers), please spell out source units of measurements in text; for example, the Moon is 380,000 kilometres (240,000 mi) from Earth.[?] Specifically, an example is 3 km.
*As per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates), dates shouldn't use th; for example, instead of (if such appeared in the article) using January 30th was a great day, use January 30 was a great day.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally do not start with articles ('the', 'a(n)'). For example, if there was a section called ==The Biography==, it should be changed to ==Biography==.[?]
*As done in WP:FOOTNOTE, footnotes usually are located right after a punctuation mark (as recommended by the CMS, but not mandatory), such that there is no space in between. For example, the sun is larger than the moon [2]. is usually written as the sun is larger than the moon.[2][?]
*Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

message: I have just added this image of Ilfracombe, thought to date from the 1860s: :File:Stereo card Ilfracombe 001.jpg.  I'm telling you about it as it may or may not support some of the information already in the article.  If you look at the full-sized image, you can see a larger ship beached at low tide in the centre of the harbour.  It's a square-rigger, possibly with a tumblehome and possibly a carrack - though that's just a guess.  By 1860 the seagoing fishing boats were ketches of about 80ft, so maybe that ship is 100 ft loa, which is possible for a carrack, I think? To keep it upright while beached would have required a lot of lines in all directions to the harbour bollards, and constant adjustment of lines.  All good fun. Whether the 1820 Spanish ship in the article would still be there in 1860 is another question, but I wouldn't be surprised if there were still old carracks around.  The Fighting Temeraire wasn't broken up until 1838.
Also the article mentions a fort somewhere - maybe someone can spot evidence of it? Anyway, if you do spot anything interesting in the picture which might improve or expand the article, please could you kindly write it here, as we'd all be fascinated to know about it.  Thanks.--Storye book (talk) 18:14, 22 February 2011 (UTC)
