Talk:Basildon

message: Some of the comments have been written with undue negativity.
"This is part of a doubtful rejuvenation plan aimed "to bring the town into the 21st century and to attract more visitors"" - why is it doubtful?
"The Festival Leisure Park is colloquially known as "Bas Vegas", and is a well known trouble spot, especially on Friday and Saturday nights, usually fuelled by alcohol" - living close by I can confirm there is no more trouble here then any city centre at the same time - in fact probably less trouble.  So to call it a trouble spot is inaccurate.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 109.150.154.78 (talk) 07:05, 1 May 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: I was amused by undue negativity.  I had the misfortune to go to school in Basildon for most of the 1960s, and have had to visit a few times since.  it is entirely possible that the original author was putting a deliberate positive spin on things!--Robert EA Harvey (talk) 12:03, 29 October 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Neutrality 

message: "Barstable School & Chalvedon School became federated in 2005 to become The Federation Of Barstable & Chalvedon School. This was initiated by the need to stabilise and improve Barstable School's reputation as a good secondary school."
- Regarding the above line - the same could be said about Chalvedon's reputation, so I vote this line gets removed, or at least revised.
In the notable people section Kurt cobain is mentioned, why? there is no record of him having any connection with this place, i refer you to the wikipedia entry on kurt cobain.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 92.0.123.86 (talk) 14:55, 30 June 2009 (UTC)

Some of it was sounding scarily like a travel brochure, or was written in the sort of language the council might use to describe it ("while the green acres of Gloucester Park with its lakes, is just a short stroll away"). More review still needed though, particularly on the Notable Persons and the In Popular Culture bit (Trivia template perhaps?)Jarry1250 (talk) 18:14, 26 December 2008 (UTC)

message: I would donate but why do it if you get disrespectful and threatens me to expel me?
Evo Morales committed fraude in 2019. I am Bolivian. There is abundant evidence about it. Now, if you have a preference towards Morales, say it in your website so everybody will know. I'm not extreme right nor left but centered and honest with my approach.  I ask you to act in the same way if you expect donations.
