message: Deanb1994, I am not sure why you have deleted the sentence about Welling being in the historic county of Kent. I can see how the sentence in isolation might appear confusing to someone without any knowledge of UK local government, but isn't that an ideal opportunity for you or any editor to improve the article by adding more information? That is the main point of Wikipedia isn't it? It isn't clear if you realise that Welling is and always has been in Kent. The local government changes of the last 150 or so years have merely altered the local government authority, not the historic county. I can see that you have made an edit about the earlier Bexley Municipal Borough so you are doubtless knowlegable about this topic which makes your wiping of the whole sentence even more puzzling. Why not simply add to it or elaborate? The fact that Welling is in Kent (as well as in Bexley and in Greater London), and that faact is not 'history' as you put it, means it has a significant bearing on the town and people today. Why not try to improve the article from that perspective? I do agree though that the muddled use of the term 'county' within various local government reforms has not helped make matters any easier.Roger 8 Roger (talk) 07:50, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
thread_title:  Kent or Bexley or London, or all three? 

message: Over the next couple of weeks I'm going to try to rationalise the lists of notable residents of Bexley towns. Each one currently has a long and unsourced lists of people who might have gone to school there, may anecdotally have been seen in the area, may be from a neighbouring town etc. (see Sidcup for example). Also, many people were born in, say, Bexleyheath but grew up in, say, Welling. Meanwhile the article List of people from Bexley is woefully underpopulated. So I'm going to try to migrate most of the lists to there as a central list (with fully explanation of their local connection and history etc), add them to the articles about their secondary schools if the sources back that up, and only leave people on the list in articles about the specific towns if the source clearly states that they lived in that place. (see current list at Bexleyheath for an example). This should make the info more reliable, easier to check, and easier to understand. Any comments, objections, suggestions?
