message: I have removed the following:
:Another attraction is Kennet school which is one of the best public schools in Berkshire.
because
*without any cited sources, it is pov
*the unqualified use of public school is ambiguous; in US usage it means a state school (which is what Kennet is) but in UK usage it means a prestigous private school (which Kennet isn't).

message: I have remove the para on the "Thatcham Snarler". It said:
"Since around 1960 there has been sightings of what has become known as 'the Thatcham Snarler'. This is said to be a half-man, half-wolf creature that tears apart anyone stupid enough to get in it's path. Locals believe that the snarler can be tamed if you give it enough cider. it appartly it locally known by the name shaggy"
It all sounds very dubious, particularly the bit about tearing people apart, and I cannot find any references to it on the web.  By all means restore it, but only if you can cite some reliable sources! Jll 13:11, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

message: I've taken a look at the web links cited in the article.  
:The 3 Thatcham Historical Society links are victims of link rot. I couldn't find new URLs on the site, haven't time to find if new ones exist, so tagged them with .
:The links to excel spreadsheets in the Education section timed out. I've not taken any action on them; I've left them for somebody more local to check, please.   
:After a few edits to bring them up to date, all the others seem to be working OK - to the best of my knowledge.   Twistlethrop (talk) 17:21, 12 January 2012 (UTC)

message: Now that the copyvio has been removed, there isn't enough at St Mary's Church, Thatcham to justify a separate page. Until and unless someone rewrites it, that should become a redirect here. Justlettersandnumbers (talk) 20:41, 13 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose merge; a church claiming to be 7th century with independent support for the claim is independently notable. I've added a little more text, another reference and removed the merge templates. Klbrain (talk) 16:38, 14 June 2017 (UTC)
