message: The picture of Luton sums up the place well. Looking at it I am reminded of the tears we would shed as children, playing in the streets, when on the wind would drift the heady aroma of the nearby glue factory. --Dumbo1 00:03, 17 May 2005 (UTC)

text: The picture was deleted because it violated copyright - it was taken from the BBC webcam. That's against Wikipedia policy and so it wasn't better than nothing. Pdean 12:52, 17 January 2006 (UTC)

text: Running at 800x600 with Seamonkey, which is similar to Firefox, the article currently looks like this. This kind of problem crops up quite a lot with Wikipedia articles. IE has no problem. At 1024x768 there is no problem with Seamonkey. Nonetheless there is a large blank white area underneath the picture of Luton town hall, which looks poorI'm glad I don't have to fix this problem; I understand that the Wikipedia engine is not ideal for layout purposes. -Ashley Pomeroy 00:09, 28 February 2007 (UTC)

text: I am generally unwilling to chop out pictures. But this shot of "Luton Town Centre" doesn't illustrate the subject, it can't be used to illustrate anything else, and it's not very pretty. It should really have been taken at noon, pointing down the main street, perhaps from the same location as this picture here. -Ashley Pomeroy 23:54, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

text: It may not show the town in its best light, but is maybe a fair reflection on that side of the town. The other pics are very nice, i guess this evens it up a bit. Bjrobinson 15:27, 23 March 2007 (UTC)

message: The table on the main article page could probably be better presented in an info box because the code for the table version is a bit of an eyesore  —Preceding unsigned comment added by DudeWithNoName (talk • contribs) 12:27, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Which table, the one in the "Local attractions" section? There is a big pink infobox at the top of the article so I removed the category that you added. Can you explan a bit more. I'm a bit thick this morning must be the 4 cm of snow that fell overnight. CambridgeBayWeather (Talk) 14:44, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I was talking about the infobox at the top of the page. Although it says that it is an infobox, it is not a standard one like on the Manchester, St Albans, Falmouth (3 random English towns). I think I will try to fix this.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.107.111.211 (talk) 19:20, 25 September 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I believe the "pink" infobox is there because Luton is not just a town, but also a council district.  See Oxford, Cambridge and City and District of St Albans for other examples.  Note that St Albans is a separate article that just covers the town.  It would be better if the districts used a template, and they could look prettier, but I think you should first discuss any changes at a higher level, such as Wikipedia:WikiProject England.
