Talk:Mile End

message: Just a cursory addition. This area deserves a lot better. Replaced Green Bridge because there were a lot of colour artefacts on the original. Hope to work up some better copy soon Tarquin Binary 20:26, 9 January 2006 (UTC)

message: From the article "The area now is covered by the Bethnal Green and Bow and Poplar and Limehouse constituencies. Due to gentrification, the seat is now competitive between the Labour and Conservative Parties for the first time."
Not only is that stating an opinion, but a rather far fetched one. Recent results have been as follows: 1997: Lab 46.3%, C 21.1. 2001: Lab 50.5, C 24.3. 2005: Lab 34%, C 14.2% (with Respect on 35%). I have therefore deleted the comment. 122.57.84.132 (talk) 07:37, 16 July 2009 (UTC)

message: Below are the first forty hits on Google for "Mile End" -wikipedia. Many of the London ones actually relate to the tube station called "Mile End", but they have been counted as "London", as have matches for "Mile End Road" and "Mile End Park". The multiple matches to "Mile End Records" are counted as "Neither" though the company is from Montreal. [In accordance with some of the changes made that are favourable to London, I will move the references to Mile End Records to Montreal. Joeldl 21:13, 27 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Oppose per Kbthompson. The population estimate above is based on the ridiculous idea that Mile End is completely enclosed in wards including the name "Mile End", and ignores signficant parts of the locality, for example in the Bow West ward. Apart from that, a population comparison is not enough to judge comparative significance, as demonstrated by Kbthompson's statements. Common usage is perhaps not so obvious, as it really is simply about where the name is being used, but the London one is enough ahead for there to be nothing wrong with the current arrangements.

replies: text: If London's Mile End has historical significance, then we would expect significant references to the area on Google Scholar. The area should be referred to as a neighbourhood, instead of appearing in the name of something else. I have found it difficult to eliminate the trivial use of the phrase "Mile End" in addresses (common on Google Scholar because it appears in the addresses of University departments). However, I present the results of a Google Scholar search below. It is important to consider the results qualitatively as well as quantitatively. When this is done, it appears that the two Mile Ends are the object of scholarly writing with roughly equal frequency.Joeldl 01:12, 28 May 2007 (UTC)

message: Hi, I just read the Mile End, Montreal page, where it states that its name is probably derived from this place. Its history appears to begin in the nineteenth century - so, 100 years, vs 1000 years, derivation of name ... I can't see a problem about keeping things as they are, and can see no basis for arguing that they are in any way equivalent. Kbthompson 12:03, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: The question is what a Wikipedia user in 2007 would be searching for when (s)he types in "Mile End".  In other words, what is the common usage today?  Common usage 1000 years ago is not particularly relevant, nor is the derivation of the name.  Skeezix1000 12:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the words mile and end were first spoken by people in England too, but they don't belong to them. The fact that one name is derived from the other is irrelevant. Joeldl 21:50, 29 May 2007 (UTC)
