:Makes sense to me.  They probably named the borough after the town. - Hephaestos 03:08, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

replies: text:  As a person who was born and grew up in Bromley, I've never heard it called that, i guess thats why it sounds weird to me :-/ ... Steeev 03:39, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

text: Im pretty darned sure, theres no reason for it to be called "Bromley, Bromley" (speaking as a former resident of the area). -- Steeev 03:57, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: Bromley's already a disambig though, where should we put this? - Hephaestos 03:58, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text:  As I believe this Bromley is the original Bromley, and all the other Bromleys have an extra identifier, cant this one just be plain Bromley? Steeev 04:07, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)
replies: text: It's workable; I'd like to give it a day or so before the move though in case anyone else chimes in. - Hephaestos 04:09, 5 Dec 2003 (UTC)

message: What's happening to Bromley? Since I went to Uni 3 years ago many of the so-called historic things mentioned on this page are disappearing. It's criminal that the Bell, with all it's history went the way it did, and whose idea was it to paint out H.G. Wells?? --Hobmcd 02:35, 19 April 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Argh!

message: Could someone familiar with how this sort of article works please add a mention of Bromley's history as part of Kent? I've written several bios recently of people born in "Bromley, Kent" in the 19th century, and as things stand another editor may turn up here, see no reference to Kent, and decide I was in the wrong.

replies: text: The same problem recurs across London - particularly (say) prior to 1880, when nearly everyone was born in Middlesex (now eliminated completely), Kent, Essex, Surrey, etc. It is permissible to note in the historical section that it formed the :Municipal Borough of Bromley in the county of Kent - but someone would have to write a suitable history section.

message: Some work needs doing on the notable persons section, I have now sourced the Darren M Jackson page about living Bromley and also another editor has added another source. Any more problems on the above notable person please feel free to get in touch.--Diamonddannyboy (talk) 10:21, 26 May 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Can you please add the 'Darren M Jackson' citation here, please. It is normal to include the citation to support the 'fact' as used in each article. Tricky, I know, but if the DMJ article were to be deleted (not saying it's going to be), then the supporting evidence would no longer be available - and it will prevent any future problems.

message: Wow.  Occasionally Wikipedia comes up with a fact that blows you away.  I used to own a house that was on former Bromley manorial land, built in 1929.  As of 2002 the deeds still had restrictive covenants from a conveyancing a couple years before the house was built where a certain Coles Child (as mentioned in the article by another contributor) was the vendor of the land.  So although it's definitely original research, I can vouch that Coles Child did own the little parcel of land that became my former house! BaseTurnComplete (talk) 22:23, 21 August 2009 (UTC)

message: From the article: "The parish church of St Peter and St Paul stands on Church Road. It was largely destroyed by enemy action".
When and what was the "enemy action"? I am assuming World War 2 bombing by planes but this should be clarified. --mgaved (talk) 16:04, 19 January 2010 (UTC)
thread_title:  "Destroyed by enemy action"? 

message: I removed the sections on what shops Bromley has had and does have, as that doesn't seem very encyclopedic.  I also removed the table of "bits of tv filmed in Bromley" for much the same reason.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 80.169.9.40 (talk) 15:23, 8 February 2012 (UTC)

message: I have added  templates to the following non-notable primaries:
* Green Street Green Primary School
* Unicorn Primary School
* Valley Primary School
* Warren Road Primary School
This is where any discussion relating to such a merge should take place. In general, by WP:OUTCOMES, primaries will be deleted or redirected unless the is significant coverage in decent non-local sources. None of these seem to have such coverage. Atlas-maker (talk) 12:42, 10 June 2014 (UTC)
