Talk:Kingsland, London

message: I've tagged this article as not being of appropriate tone for wikipedia, and because it doesn't cite a single source. I find the article itself interesting, but the tone completely inappropriate for an encyclopaedia. I don't really feel I have enough knowledge about Kingsland to boil this article down to keep the facts, cite sources and change the tone (the same goes for nearby Shacklewell, the article for which seems to have similar problems).

replies: text: I'm not even sure if it shouldn't be merged with Dalston. This is essentially historical Dalston. The waste was an important market from historical times, basically land set aside along the edge of the road as too stony/wasted to grow anything on - Mile End has one too. In the middle ages they often became the site of occasional fairs, and this lead to them becoming semi-official marketplaces. (Would have to look to see if chartered - would be possible explanation of name, but I suspect not). Kingsland waste was much bigger than it is now, the road having expanded across much of it. I'll go away and do some reading, we may be able to do something with this. Kbthompson 09:55, 10 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I've altered the intro, giving details of the real historical Kingsland. Seemingly not the most important place in the world , but I for one am glad to add it to my store of geographical  knowledge and - who knows - maybe events of world-shattering importance did happen there in the local pub??? 'More research needed' as we used to say in university library/bar after a hard days studying and/or drinking...Colin4C 11:22, 11 November 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: Dunno, having lived for a while where Dalston sort-of merges into Haggerston, you gradually come to recognise a distinction. I get the impression that a load of these old areas are having something of a name-revival, especially with the influx of people who seem to find the area overly 'cool'. 78.86.18.55 (talk) 12:11, 6 June 2008 (UTC)

text: I've begun to rewrite as 'wiki-prose', expand the historical material and add some refs. Pls feel free to pitch-in. I must say, Fin was in a whimsical mood when he wrote the original text ... Kbthompson (talk) 18:27, 7 March 2009 (UTC)
