message: Would it be appropriate to cut down the size of the large quotation in Cullercoats Life Brigade House? It is rather large and I really think that it could do with being condensed, with the appropriate link or reference added. Xtrememachineuk (talk) 15:10, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: It might be better to transfer the whole Life Brigade House section to a seperate article, that way the detail can be kept and the main article can be shortened. Thozza (talk) 18:08, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm not sure I've seen a larger quote in any article ever. It's been here at least 8 years now, but does it contravene MoS? Martinevans123 (talk) 14:40, 15 September 2016 (UTC)
replies: text: In certain ways this is the kind of quote I've used myself in certain articles: historical, out-of-copyright, well-written, communicates to the reader key facts in an enjoyable way, and -- this is where they work best -- acting to transmit the attitudes and opinions of the source being quoted in a way that the reader will recognize them as such[. Two examples are at Sacred_Cod#Significance. The problem here is that it's way, way too long, and far too much of it is effusive, gauzy retrospective. Whether this subtopic remains a section of the present article, or is moved to its own article, I'd find a way to keep the paragraph "The duty of the Life Brigade...of comparatively little service" (because the stone wall and so on so charmingly communicates both the apparent dedication of the men of the Life Brigade, and why the building was needed) and summarize the rest (with, or course, perhaps small quotations here and there). The full passage is can be deposited at Wikisource, and linked from here in one of those little Wikisource boxes. EEng 02:51, 16 September 2016 (UTC)

message: This is more than a little misleading.  To most readers "railway" will imply the 19thC fully developed public railway, not the 17thC horse and gravity waggonways of the Tyne valley.  The quoted source makes no mention of railways:  Martin of Sheffield (talk) 09:44, 16 January 2017 (UTC)

message: Boats coming to the harbour are guided by Leading lights - see link https://www.google.co.nz/maps/@55.0337344,-1.4325339,3a,90y,235.23h,89.26t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sXWDvy7TZoDir8sDK2xRQcQ!2e0!7i13312!8i6656 The link to Google Maps is copyright and cannot be used in the article. This is the only current example of leading lights that I know of in England and I think it is notable. Beacon House, 41 Beverley Terrace is very noticeable as being the only one storey house in a terrace of two storey buildings. There is a day-mark beacon on the roof and another on the grass between the road and the harbour. There is also a red light (it looks like a street-lamp) in front of the building.
I saw this in Cullercoats but unfortunately didn't take a photograph. OrewaTel (talk) 22:46, 24 September 2021 (UTC)
