thread_title:  History 

message: There are only a few citations in the page and few of them used a citation template, most being bare URLs.  Some were old URLs which may have suffered from link rot and need checking.  I have been through sorting out the templates and have moved all citations in with the external links to make maintenance easier.  Inline references should be brief and link to full citation in the bibliography.  I will shortly check out the links and fill out the templates where they are valid, unless anyone else wants to jump in and do it first! Martin of Sheffield (talk) 17:58, 16 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks.  I've assisted on the Rochester Castle and Warkworth Castle pages, both of which achieved FA status and use the separate reference from citation.  I have subsequently adopted the style for pages I've created since I find it easier.  Bibliographic details are moved out of the text making them easier to maintain and reducing the break in the flow of an editor's thought, for instance Stenton p47.  I find it makes citing citations easier, consider Pepys, entry for 30 June 1667 (quoted in Restoration House). It is probably not of concern for short pages like Milton, but something like Rochester Cathedral where relatively few sources are used but page references made is easier. All IMHO of course!

replies: text: I'd wonder if the key there isn't that there are relatively few sources for those articles? Again, just opinion, but I think place articles might tend to have slightly more sources - given the history of Milton I'd sort of expect there to be quite a lot more stuff that could be added actually. I might even get around to that at some point! Blue Square Thing (talk) 14:48, 17 April 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: I'm sure you are correct about the few vs many issue; you are certainly correct in your expectation that there are more sources - watch this space!  Once I've knocked the existing text into a bit better shape I intend to do a literature search through the history section of my library looking for Milton Regis, Kemsley and Sittingbourne.  Where for instance are references to the workhouse which became the hospital at the end of Union Street (latterly Milton High Street)?  If you are wanting something to get your teeth into, what is going on on Church Marshes?  The website is out of date and the council only seem to be interested in the rubbish dump.
