Talk:Woodford, London

message: the see also section points to 241 squadron.  Absolutely no idea what that is about!

The local unit of the Air Training Corps (ATC) is Squadron 241 - see http://www.241squadron.com/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=47&Itemid=72. Hpwever that has nothing to do with Squadron 241 of the RAF. So I am removing the link. There is no article on the local ATC squadron.

message: I don't think this paragraph about chavs, etc. is particularly relevant to an encyclopaedic article about Woodford:
In recent months there has been controversy centred around the Woodford Station and Woodford Bridge areas. With the rising popularity of the chav style, young people (mostly male) tend to hang around in gangs and like 'assert their authority' to passing people, which can include verbal and even physical abuse, as an act of 'claiming their territory'. This occurs most common on a stretch of road called Snake's Lane, hillside avenue which joins the two areas. Snakes lane is a long road with alot of kids running around. This road hillside avenue is also a long busy road and has lots of youngsters living there this makes the crime scene worse. These gangs are normally made up of youths under 18 (but sometimes 18 or above) who dress in the chav style. Their usual victims are normally within the same age group as them who aren't many in number, which may depict their antics as bullying behaviour and intimidation. This claim is almost backed up by the fact that many of their victims follow a typical Rock music way of life (Grungers, Goths, Emos etc) who are practically the complete opposite of the chav lifestyle. 
I don't doubt that it's true, but unless it can be shown that this is a notable problem peculiar to Woodford, it doesn't really belong here. chrismear 13:13, 3 January 2007 (UTC)

message: I check pages listed in :Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of :Woodford, London's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.
Reference named "vision_parish":
From Camberwell: Vision of Britain - Camberwell parish (historic map)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 09:24, 6 December 2017 (UTC)
