message: The Piccadilly Line has been deleted from the list of railways in the History of the railways of Tottenham sub-section of the History section of Tottenham because it does not run through Tottenham. However, the sentence The Piccadilly Line, which opened in 1932 has one station Turnpike Lane which was the first Underground station within the Tottenham Borough boundaries. has been left in the Public Transport sub-section of the Today section. This is the wrong way round. According to the Wiki article, Turnpike Lane tube station used to be within the Tottenham Borough boundaries. So the reference to the Piccadilly Line should have been kept within the History of the railways of Tottenham sub-section of the History section, and removed from the Public Transport sub-section of the Today section.

replies: text: I'll revert it to save an edit war as it's an arguable point - Langham Road formed the boundary between Tottenham and Hornsey, and Westbury Avenue/Turnpike Lane the southern boundary of Wood Green (easiest to see on a map showing postcode boundaries, as N22 follows Wood Green, N8 Hornsey and N15 Tottenham). Because of this, although the station building itself was in Hornsey, the exits led onto all three boroughs —  iridescent (talk to me!) 14:33, 8 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text:  It's quite complicated, but I'll think you'll find the address of Turnpike Lane station is Langham Road, London N.15 (Tottenham) and by the way, the station Buildings were not on Hornsey Territory at all. The whole of Ducketts Common was in the Borough of Tottenham. The Hornsey /Tottenham boundary did not follow eactly the postcode areas, but ran close to Green Lanes at the Harringay end but was more westerly at Turnpike Lane.

message: Stadium and Arena were never part of Tottenham (Town). They were part of the borough, but not the town, They are covered on Harringay page. Mind if I delete them from this page? hjuk 23:00, 27 June 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Harringay Arena

message: Ya got me all paranoid now Steve. Just deleted Haringey as a neighbouring area - hope you agree - it's in it not near it. Then I was going to delete Hornsey and Fins Pk, co for my money they're not neighbouring to Tottenham today - they were to the borough.....but hey...What do you think? hjuk 19:50, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Haringey is the name of the borough so yes that's fine, but Harringay does neighbour Tottenham. Anywikiuser (talk) 17:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Neighbouring Areas

message: The caption for the image says: The old Tottenham town hall, now Haringey Council offices. (November 2005). I thought the Haringey Council were based in Wood Green. Is this incorrect? Anywikiuser (talk) 17:06, 20 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: The council's head offices are Wood Green Civic Centre, but they have offices all over the borough - Tottenham & Hornsey town halls, a big block at the junction of Lordship Lane/Tottenham High Road etc. —  iridescent 17:11, 20 May 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: Copyright Infringement?

message: I would like to gather other editors' opinions on the inclusion of a section on Steffen Freund.  The section I added regarding him has just been removed and I suggest that this should be undone.  
Freund is well respected worldwide as a footballer, celebrity and humanitarian.  Much of his fame developed during his exploits at "The Lane."  Surely we owe it to Tottenham's most famous resident to include a section on him?  Comments welcome.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.230.233 (talk) 22:26, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: No, because he already has an article about him. We don't want to give a shorter, less complete outline about him here (which would duplicate what was in his own article) when it is easier and more useful just to link to his existing article and let people read it in full, if they want to. Notice that this is the same as the way we treat all the other notable residents. --DanielRigal (talk) 22:35, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

text: I've removed him from the "Individuals associated with Tottenham" section as well. Freund is no more associated with Tottenham as a geographical area than any other long-ish term THFC player, of which there are thousands; he doesn't live in the area (or the country, for that matter), wasn't born in the area, and had no particular impact on the area. You'll note we don't include Venables, Lineker, Klinsmann, Hoddle, Gascoigne… – iridescent 22:48, 31 December 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Ooops. Sorry. I just assumed that he must be a resident as he was being referred to as one. After all, residence of Tottenham is not something many people would want to claim spuriously. ;-) --DanielRigal (talk) 23:08, 31 December 2008 (UTC)

message: Good stuff about Tottenham UK but is anybody aware of Tottenham Australia. Yes, Tottenham (population200) is located in central western New South Wales and is actually the geographical centre of the state. Get that up you, you pommies.Crebert116 (talk) 12:55, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
