Talk:Mellor, Greater Manchester

message: Question time. It would seem to me that having too much information in a web page just makes it cluttered and unreadable. The page is about the right length at present, but more could really be added. (There are only brief mentions of the Industrial Revolution, for example. The geography commonly referred to as Mellor also includes Townscliffe and Moor's End, so maybe more on the internal structure of Mellor would be good. A link to Mellor's involvement in the University of the Third Age might be appropriate under activities, as well.)
So why don't I just add this information? Because I feel that it could make the page too long and too diverse, which is why I'm calling for thoughts on this. Does it matter if the page is long? If we split the page up, do we split by topic (as per the arcaheological section, which is almost inescapably a unified unit, but is something of a special case), or by some other means?
Images are somewhat lacking - my lone photograph is looking somewhat isolated - but too many would make the page slow to load and would cease adding value. How many images would feel "right" and what of?
I agree that certain entities warrant their own pages. Suggestions would be the church, the school, the sports club and the golf club. I am willing to get Started on one or two of these Horizontal 15:28, 16 April 2007 (UTC)

message: Thomas Brierley is actually a distant ancestor of mine (although not directly as he died without kin). I have read at least a dozen detailed accounts of his grave but think I actually know the full story (or at least a fairly complete model story). I will update this section and upload my photograph of his grave when I have time. My only question is that the explanation of his burial and grave would probably run to 3 x the current length of the whole article. Should I simply create a new page solely for him and refer to it? Any advice would be good. 
Planning to update in April 2006.

message: I propose that Moorend be merged into Mellor, Greater Manchester. Historically they may be separate settlements but they are now more or less contiguous. I live nearby and I contend that Moorend (which I'll admit, I'd never heard of, despite being interested in local history and a keen map user) is seen by most as simply part of Mellor, and I doubt an article about the settlement could ever amount to anything longer than a stub. Per WP:UKCITIES: "Some hamlets and neighbourhoods should have their own articles but if there are no more than a few paragraphs that could be said about them it is considered best practice to merge the articles, weight being given to the above factors." Moorend would seem to be a perfect example. Dave.Dunford (talk) 09:53, 27 March 2013 (UTC)
