Talk:Darwen

message: Hi User:Darrener.  The edits I made are not personal towards you.  The intro of an article should be kept as concise as possible, and I was trying to keep it to the bare minimum of content.
If you look at my edit summary in the page history, what I was saying was that the wording "Darwen is on the edge..." is precisely right - it lies across and over the border itself, or the edge.  There are bits of the town on the moors, and some bits not - that's precisely what it says already.  Just like Todmorden lies on the edge of the historical borders of Yorkshire (and indeed over on the other side too!).
Fear not - I'm extremely familiar with the area too and I want to see accuracy prevail, but not at the expense of keeping the introduction to the point.  If any extra detail is required, it's best putting it later in the article body.
Feel free to discuss the changes here - we dont' use the articles themselves for discussions so that they can be easily read at all times.
Hope that explains things somewhat, Aquilina 21:48, 18 July 2006 (UTC)
