Talk:Hastings Old Town

message: The article on Hastings has some information about Hastings Old Town already, but I think that merging the information in this article into it would expand and improve it.  Any comments or objections?  --Ioeth (talk contribs friendly) 12:38, 5 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Yeah, this article sucks. It's just a photo album. The Old Town is picturesque, but there's loads of history that could make a great article. I don't know enough about it to do a proper article, unless anyone else feels like it, it should be merged. --Grahamhopgood 12:08, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

text: This is a really rubbish article, it should be merged without doubt, agreed the old town is historic and deserves writing up but it is still in Hastings. 172.189.206.111 07:26, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I don't see a good reason for Hastings Old Town to have a separate page, especially not when it looks like this. Merging the two articles would probably be a good idea. Terraxos 04:55, 26 October 2007 (UTC)

text: Magico's (who he?) comments are typical of the article itself: "totally different" "demographics are different" (but aren't those for each area in Hastings different from one another?) "all events are different" (all events??? what are they?) "whole history" - but the history of this part is tied up completely with the other parts of the town as it evolved, surely? - "characteristic people" (what singles them out?) "its fishers" (a very small proportion surely?) "its architecture" (because of its age perhaps?) "general spirit" (overegging the whole thing surely!). This article is, I completely agree, rubbish. It doesn't delineate the Old Town, nor describe its layout/geography etc. The main article has a lot of the things in it which might at a pinch make this a better article, but I doubt it - it has itself much to be condemned! Merge, please! Peter Shearan (talk) 19:20, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

message: There's some good stuff here, but it severely needs attention from the point of view of Wikipedia:Avoid weasel words and Wikipedia:Avoid peacock terms. I may get round to doing some of this... --rossb  —Preceding comment was added at 23:38, 6 November 2007 (UTC)
