Talk:Margate

message: Tony Flaig in the above section does have a valid point. He does seem to have been victimised, as most of the links are of dubious content. The Turneround Margate link should be removed according to the criteria above. 
Some links could be moved into the appropriate place in main article, such as the Dreamland link. The Thanet life link contains a typing error. Even if it was correct the domain no longer exists, it gets redirected to a search engine. The Jazz one is an out of date advert. 
I would suggest the links should be severely pruned to just the Thanet Tourist Info and the Margate Civic society.  MortimerCat 08:27, 3 June 2007 (UTC)

message: The person who burnt down the ride, (the owner of the grounds), should have his be hanged and be beaten to hell and back. I loved that place.  Even though it was an insurence scam, he should rebuild it usuing only his teeth! – ThatWikiGuy (talk) 13:33, 11 April 2008 (UTC)

message: In the Demography section it says the 2001 census records 40,386 as the population of Margate. In the table next to it the figure (from the same census) is 57,008. Anyone know the correct population?--Septemberfourth476 (talk) 10:29, 3 May 2009 (UTC)

message: I suspect the reference to pirates in the Government section appears to be someone's idea of a joke and I was tempted to remove it; however, on the off chance that the town really was taken over by pirates in 1957 I've marked the first sentence as needing a citation.  The subsequent sentence that there appears to be nothing of value in the town sounds to me like a value judgement that violates the spirit of writing from a neutral point of view.  It needs someone who is familiar with the town's history to review the Government section and either amend or delete as appropriate.

message: The rainfall quoted seems very low.  Using the reference url (Bing) I find the annual rainfall based on monthly values rounded to the nearest cm is 57cm compared with the 42cm quoted.  I propose replacing with Met Office data from Manston http://www.metoffice.gov.uk/climate/uk/stationdata/manstondata.txt . SimulatedAnnealer (talk) 14:24, 9 July 2011 (UTC)

message: It would improve the article if there was a section on transport. Public rail services and main roads. To London and other southeastern cities and towns. --TGC55 (talk) 11:20, 1 June 2012 (UTC)

message: Hi, I have just edited the above section which contained a number of WP:PEACOCK words and promotional sentences.  The paragraph was added by 86.173.38.160, a single use editor, on 20 June 2012, (see Margate: Revision history). It is still unreferenced and (probably) needs editing by an editor familar with the subject. (i happened upon the Margate article after seeing it on an old episode of Homes Under the Hammer) thanks.

message: The twinning section has no references at all, and tbh I find some of them hard to believe. Astana is a major capital city: why would it be twinned with a mid-sized seaside resort? 
I propose that unless good sources can be found the section be removed for the time being.  It624 (talk) 21:08, 7 October 2017 (UTC)
