Talk:South Shields

message: Currently I see "It has a population of about 90,000" and then
two paragraphs down, "Now it is a town of over a 100,000 
people of many ethnic backgrounds."
Fastest population growth I've ever known :)
I can't find an official figure so I was unable to just fix it.

thread_title: How many?

message: I have added information about our town's premier football club. I will update this as events happen. Please feel free to improve this!
I've added about those that support South Shields FC. I know fine well not everyone from Shields is a Bandwagon Jumper. I've met a lot of S.Shields fans.

message: I added this and Lawsonrob has twice removed it. The article does not cite a single source. It needs sources. --SandyDancer 22:54, 1 November 2006 (UTC)
thread_title:  Unreferenced tag 

message: I have reverted edits by Alexander Howard, as I believe that South Shields is in South Tyneside (Metropolitan Borough) and is very much within Tyne and Wear, that still exists. South Shields is not a unitary authority and hasn't been since 1974, when it became part of South Tyneside, the latter may be seen as unitary. Anybody who disagrees please revert this edit.Glenn Scott 13:26, 23 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  Counties 

message: There are a number of uncited claims in this article and the  tags are constantly being removed.  A couple of examples; 
* Most residents of South Shields identify themselves as "Geordie", a term commonly associated with all residents of North East England. If you want to claim that a) most South Shields residents identify themselves as Geordies, or b) that the term Geordie is associated with all residents of North East England, then you must provide a reference for this.
* Some natives of the region consider it applies only to those born on Tyneside. Who considers this, you need to provide a reference stating it.
* The term is widely presumed to originate from the town's beach and its large Yemeni population. Who is presuming this?  And again a reference is needed for this.

thread_title:  Removal of <nowiki>{{fact}}</nowiki> tags 

message: I appreciate that it is a big portion of the page.
However I could understand this move if the page was more than say 60k, but as it is the page is only just over 32k; and I'm sure I've read somewhere that this 'used' to be the optimum size to split a wiki page. And I'm sure that this is not the discussed consensual standard anymore...
I'm against moving it at this moment.

thread_title: Quick note about the history moved to a new page

message: I have protected the page for a time while the content problem is being resolved. This material should not be re-add until an agreement can be reached on what should be in this article. May be a separate article is the way forward but, if that is the case, it would need to meet the appropriate notability guidelines. Please work together to agree what should be present in this article. Keith D (talk) 08:49, 11 September 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Protected

message: "'Urfa' is suggested to be a simple corruption of 'Vide Infra', the Aramaic name for the Roman stronghold." Vide Infra simply means "see below", and is used in that sense in the linked website; the linked website does not seem to mention an Aramaic name for Roman Arbeia, much less make such a "suggestion".--Wetman (talk) 17:46, 6 January 2009 (UTC)

message: How come in the 19th century section is there constant wikilinks to King Edward I of England who was a monarch in the 13th and 14th centuries? Penrithguy (talk) 20:21, 16 March 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Edward I 

message: I have put Colmans Fish and Chip Restaurant up for deletion - see Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Colmans Fish and Chip Restaurant. The suggestion there is that the article be incorporated into South Shields. Having looked at the section for Economy I don't think it sits very well with the heavy industry that is currently there. Can anyone think of a better way of doing it? Twiceuponatime (talk) 15:29, 11 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Colmans Fish and Chip Restaurant 

message: This section is now a vague, rambling, repetitious piece incorporating information from elsewhere in the entry. In places it is simply incoherent. How did this come about? It needs to be sorted out quickly.
