Talk:Shenfield

message: I have amended the Geography Section somewhat. To sum up: 
*To describe Shenfield as being an "affluent place to live" is a very POV statement: I know what you mean, but is it entirely correct - and what does it compare to? 
*Please, please tell what a "pillow town" is - "soft soil"? The geological map says it is either London Clay (very hard to work in wet weather) or sand and gravel - do they all sleep on the ground? There appears to be no definition of this - either in Wiki or Google, and as a geographer I have never heard of it, not can work out what its significance is in this context.
*"well known" (major train station) is another phrase to avoid: maybe the people in a five-mile radius think that but this is an international encyclopedia; and why say "train station" and then railway station immediately afterwards? Wiki policy is to call UK stations "railway stations" And is it particularly "signiificant" as a junction? All junctions have a significance in terms of the main route.
* finally, take a look at these articles, both cross-referred:
**London Commuter Belt - especially its discussion page. There is really no such defined area
**Green Man - a disambiguation page. Why the need to refer to that?

thread_title: Notes on rewrite

message: I did a review of the census data, because the figure quoted of 20,790 seemed excessive. That figure comes from a PDF published by Brentwood Council that doesn't specify any further references. The official UK Census 2011 data however shows that Shenfield only had 5,432 residents (http://www.ukcensusdata.com/shenfield-e05004078). This seems more plausible, given the fact that there were only 2,140 households. Also, if the original figure of 20,790 were correct, then Shenfield would consistute 90% of Brentwood by population, which is clearly incorrect. I've corrected the population to reflect the official census figures.

message: The population figure cited does not match the citation given. The published statistics are from the 2001 census. If you have later figures then you must provide the later citation: at the moment the article incorrectly claims the changed figures are from the citation which was in the article before the change, which is a misuse.

Category talk:Jewish political status

message: Pursuant to objections raised in categories' discussion, I've edited to limit the scope. This scope could include the following types of articles, but this doesn't need to be spelled out in describing the category: 
* official treatments and legislation, and other official acts affecting political, governmental, and societal status
* notable laws, events, individuals and reforms of historical or political significance. 
* articles on the political roles, rights and status of Jews, which may or may not fit within the history of Jews. 
Hope my suggestions here are constructive. Best wishes. HG | Talk 17:28, 21 December 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Along these lines, I've deleted the category from Judaism and Islam, and Christianity and Judaism, which are both too broad for this purpose. There's better treatment in anti-Sem articles and in History of Jews in Islam. Thanks. HG | Talk 18:26, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

Talk:Evolution of belief

message: the point of this article, in spite of its title, appears to have been to discuss the question whether religion yields evolutionary advantage to adherents. I am not sure what to do with this. It may be best to merge it into a larger account of the evolution of religion. Mathematical models considering the selection advantage awarded by religious faith would be on-topic, but the debate of whether "naturalism is self-defeating" appears to be completely offtopic. This may entail the prediction that naturalism (materialism) will lead to the demise of humanity, which is certainly a topic worthy of debate, but as far as I can see completely unrelated to the question of religion has evolved. Most of the article's content may be more at home in the Relationship between religion and science article. dab (𒁳) 17:44, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

replies: text: I absolutely agree, but this person's importance to the english wikipedia needs more reliable assertion. It was flagged for notablity, not deletion. This event may be very important, but as it is now the article only presumes to be notable, rather than actually establishing notability with reliable third-party references, as in WP:NOT. If it's an event similar to Enron, there are probably good references that establish notability.

Talk:Maw (game)

message: I believe that due to the nature and following of this game that no cleanup is required. I will list the reasons for my beliefs below:
The nature of the game is that the whole game is a total secret. The only way to know and learn the game is to play it, and learn through gameplay. That is the design of the game, and discussing any rule or detail of the game, entails a loss of spirit, fun, functionality, and purpose of the game.
There are not many refrences to the Maw online, with this wikipedia article, and one historical website being the major sources. I believe that that is the way it should be and should be left.
Neither articles discuss the unspoken rules of the game (although, the wiki article does discuss the dealers role in gameplay which could be considered an unspoken rule). Due to the design, function, and playablity of the game, I believe that a cleanup of the article is not only unnecessary, it could be detrimental to the game itself.
EAnchak (talk) 19:04, 21 December 2007 (UTC)

As one of the primary editors of this article, I approve the deletion of said article.
