thread_title:  External links modified 

message: "Burton upon Stather"? Or "Burton-upon-Stather"?
The article title is unhyphenated.  But current displayed uses within the article had been hyphenated.
All the working "references" and all the working "external links" resolve to sites using the unhyphenated form.  None shows the hyphenated form.
Additionally The North Lincs regional government website is unhyphenated. Likewise unhyphenated is the local BBC weather page.
The only Google hits that are hyphenated seem to be the name of the primary school, and Zoopla/Rightmove housemove listings. These housemove listings would seem less authorities than (for instance) the local regional government.
So given that all the existing (working) links, plus the official local government website, plus the BBC use the unhyphenated form, and that the only exceptions seems to be housemove websites and one school website. I am normalising the place-name to the unhyphenated form.

replies: text: I wont argue with you, I have no sources. The hyphenated village sign was outside my house at the edge of the village, and I attended the hyphenated village school too. They taught us to hyphenate. My parents moved away from there in 2006. The village sign has since moved and been renewed with the expanding village borders, and isn't legible on Google Earth. The house was just over the top of the Trent cliff (Burton hills to us) from the Flixborough disaster about a mile away. Scary for me alone in the house on a Saturday afternoon. -Roxy  the grumpy dog. wooF 20:55, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Genuine local knowledge and custom is also important.  In that respect, as a local to the village, you know far more than me who has never visited (although understandably WP policies don't really go for such "on the ground" but unreferenced things).  And there is at least one decent source, the Primary School, which uses the hyphenated form.  Suppose we also include the hyphenated form as an alternative spelling, and use the Primary School's website as the cited source?  I think we could make a good case for "" with the school as cite for the hyphenated form.  Would that work for you?  And, while we're here, do you happen to have, or know of, a useable image of the village sign?  Feline Hymnic (talk) 21:47, 20 June 2022 (UTC)
