Talk:Alum Rock, Birmingham

message: Oh dear. This article is quite the mass of stereotypes. I'll go down to A.R. once I get my decent digital camera back, take some pictures, and try to make this a large article... until then, I'll just have to make do with scrubbing a few of the strange clichés out.

All help is appreciated. AR is quite a special area. It deserves more recognition. Any ideas of what else to write about?
Which streetS are colourful and lined with shops?? Only ONE road has shops on it.

message: There are serious errors in this article. Many of the people editing this entry are possibly from Alum Rock where many of the residents are not completely sure of the boundaries of Alum Rock and where it is situated. Most completely confuse Alum Rock (closer to Stechford) with Saltley, the main shopping area near the Saltley Gate. They overlap but are geographically distintively different.
Please can soemone take a look at the format of the Saltley entry and amend this 'Alum Rock' one accordingly. Much of the attributes given to Alum Rock belong to Saltley, including the shopping district and the Saltley Gate Peace Group mentioned in tha article.
I think we should omit personal interpretations and stick to the accurate locations of Alum Rock and Saltley as featured and used on official government and council records, maps and police.

thread_title:  Major errors 

message: A bit of info on that would be good. Did they use to mine alum round there or something?  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.235.0 (talk) 07:30, 30 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title:  Origin of the name 

message: This article should be deleted or completely reworked and started from scratch. So far it consists of information about recognised areas and wards including Saltley, Washwood Heath, Ward End and Hodge Hill which are covered well in those Wikipedia entries and DO NOT need to be reproduced here.
Although local residents may refer to an overlapping area along these wards as 'Alum Rock', this is not reason enough to provide the same area already covered a completely separate entry. If a more accurate article can be written on the real geographic and officially city recognised 'Alum Rock' which may be located closer to Stechford and Hodge Hill (and not to be confused with Saltley/Washwood Heath) then this need to be created anew but if it remains as a mish-mash of confusing attributed belonging to neighbouring areas, it should be deleted.
