message: An anon has recently added a note on Geoff Tootill using chadderton-hs.freeuk.com as a source. No problem with Geoff Tootill as such (other sources verify the claim), but I am a little worried about chadderton-hs.freeuk.com. This website is operated by a local group, and it has alot of dubious, even politisied unreliable content. For example this group is affiliated with Friends of Real Lancashire, and asserts some wholly incorrect statements about the use of Lancashire and former postal counties for Chadderton. Although giving the facade of being a mini encyclopedia, it has some personal commentary mixed in about Oldham Council.
I just wanted users to be aware that this is an amature website, not a completely realiable source -- Jza84 · (talk) 19:24, 4 January 2008 (UTC)

message: Just a note that I've removed the following as unsourced:
:Chadderton Hall Park occupies an area of 6.47 hectares in what were once the gardens of Chadderton Hall, built in 1620. From 1839 to 1860 the hall and grounds were used as a boarding school for young ladies and later a school for boys. At the end of the 19th century they were leased to Joseph Ball, who transformed the house and grounds into a pleasure garden, complete with a boating lake and a menagerie. The hall was demolished in 1939. The park is owned today by Oldham Council and was opened to the public in 1956.
I will try to find a source asap. --Jza84 |  Talk   03:26, 22 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I noticed that were a couple of mistakes in the demography section (Royton was mentioned once and the population was given as 55,234). This was a result of using another article's demography section, but I doubled checked the rest of the figures and everything else is right. Nev1 (talk)
:It's OK, I've done that before myself (Abram, Greater Manchester comes to mind!). Everything seems to check out now yes! Once I've tackled the Economy section I'll be looking for a copyeditor and then might go to GAC... :) --Jza84 |  Talk   20:45, 23 December 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Demography

message: Currently Chadderton #Governance translates "Labor omnia vincit" as "Persistent Works Triumphs". This translation sounds implausible to me: for one thing, the English is not grammatical. I'm no Latin expert, but it looks to me like it says "Hard work conquers all". Does the source really give that translation? If not, how about changing it?

replies: text: This tallys well with this source, which uses "Labour conquers all", and this source, which uses "Work conquers everything". From memory I believe the reference was sourced from  who added it to verify the composition and origins of the coat of arms, rather than the motto. --Jza84 |  Talk   12:16, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Page 31 of Lawson's (1990) Looking Back at Chadderton has the translation of the motto as "Labour conquers everything". --Jza84 |  Talk   22:21, 30 January 2010 (UTC)

message: As a novice to Wikipedia,I would like to learn how to edit an existing page of Chadderton. For the industrial revolution history I have tried below to  inserting a  reference to machine-breaking  described by GDH Cole in the classic text cited below. If I knew how to edit then I would also insert Cole's description of a Chadderton riot.
  
The construction of multi-storey steam powered mills followed, which initiated a process of urbanisation and cultural transformation in the region; the population increasingly moved away from farming and domestic weaving in favour of the mechanised production of cotton goods.[11]
 
During this early period of change, Chadderton's parliamentary representation was limited to two Members of Parliament for Lancashire. Nationally, the end of the Napoleonic Wars in 1815 had resulted in periods of famine and unemployment for textile workers,and years of distress and unrest although major disturbances of machine-breaking did not take place until 1826. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Chl mason (talk • contribs) 10:34, 22 June 2012‎ (UTC))
:I think I've added the text you wanted to add in the correct place, and hopefully that'll help you to understand how Wikipedia's admittedly arcane citation system works. There are gadgets you might find helpful such as ProveIt, which you can install easily from Your preferences, although to be honest I've never found any of them to be all that much use.
