message: Was Blackdown or Gibbet the site of executions in past times? 
Gibbet Hill was where executions took place many of which were highwaymen who used the Portmouth to London road as their prime target area at nearby Devil's Punchbowl
It is Gibbet hill were the tunnel works are taking place (estimated completion: 2011).Smudger94 (talk) 23:23, 6 February 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I removed this sentence Woolmer Hill is a significant part of the community. It is the local school which has been around for over 50 years. as I'm not sure what Woolmer Hill is.  Is it a housing estate, hill or school.  I will investigate and return. SuzanneKn 18:09, 24 February 2007 (UTC)

message: I wonder if this paragraph would be better under the culture section? Also, should the museum have its own article as it has a long history and is a significant museum?Tony Holkham (talk) 00:58, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

message: "...embraced the European project..." seems an unusual form of words. Should it simply state the facts, or should there be a ref to substantiate?Tony Holkham (talk) 01:16, 20 May 2013 (UTC)

message: Just had a read through and apart from adding a couple of wikilinks and a minor copy edit to eliminate some parentheses, It seems to be well covered. I will dig out my milling references and just see if there is anything to add to the industry section, there's a bit about Sickle Mill as I recall. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 13:48, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks  I know that the mills are your area of expertise. To be honest I have found some of the sources a little confusing and contradictory - and there's the usual problem of roads, buildings and firms changing their names. In the case of Sickle Mill, I understand that there were two mills side-by-side - see picture. Am I right in thinking that the white wooden building on the left was the newer paper manufacturing mill and the brick building on the left was the original flour mill?

replies: text:  That's what I want to check. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 15:02, 20 November 2021 (UTC)
replies: text:  To date not come up with a positive ID of the brick building but the wooden structure is the paper mill. I'll keep looking. Murgatroyd49 (talk) 18:05, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

message: I have just added some information on the world wars to the article. The only source I could find was Rolston, which covers the two wars in very little detail. I have been unable to locate anything relevant in the Farnham Herald. I have also added a few sentences on Stoatley Rough School.
I am intending to proofread the article one final time towards the end of the coming week. I will aim to submit a WP:GA nomination next weekend. Best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 12:19, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Reading through again I was struck by the similar ground covered by the Governance, Parliamentary borough and National and local government sections. Should they be amalgamated or are the distinctions beneficial? User:Tony Holkham suggested precis above.SovalValtos (talk) 16:14, 5 December 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi  To my mind, the three topics you have identified are very distinct. I feel it would be very easy for a reader to confuse them, which is why I think it is beneficial to keep them in separate (sub)sections. So for example, the Borough is not really significant for the day-to-day running of the town in the post-Tudor period, it was simply about electing two MPs to Parliament. The current position of Haslemere in the South West Surrey constituency has no real connection back to the Borough, which it is why it is in the "Democracy today" section and not part of the "History" section. (I would not want anyone to think that the South West Surrey constituency was a rotten or pocket borough!) Best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 16:29, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

replies: text: Thank you  I have reworded the relevant sentence to make it clear that the police station at Guildford is the nearest run by Surrey Police. Best wishes Mertbiol (talk) 17:30, 6 December 2021 (UTC)
