message: Regardless of whether it's nearer Congleton or Macclesfield, the postal address of the place is Macclesfield. Anyway, if you have to say it's near anywhere, why not say Goostrey?! -- Arwel  21:50, 2 Jun 2005 (UTC)

message: As at the time Lovell and his team were on very limited finances, the 76m telescope was built using some salvaged parts and incorporated some turret rack and pinion components from the battlecruiser HMS Renown, which was being scrapped at the time. Ian Dunster 12:49, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Actually JBO's own website says they reused bits of the battleships HMS Revenge and Royal Sovereign, which is a bit surprising as Royal Sovereign was transferred to the Soviet Navy in 1944 as the Archangelsk, and scrapped by them in 1948. -- Arwel (talk) 14:58, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: Ah, I see, she was only loaned to the Russians and they returned her in '48. -- Arwel (talk) 15:21, 14 November 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: You're probably right - I was writing from memory and seem to remember it as being the Renown for some reason! Ian Dunster 22:26, 14 November 2005 (UTC)

message: Perhaps a note can be added about Jodrell Bank celebrating the 50th Anniversary of the Lovell Telescope in 2007 though I have not seen a specific date designated for the anniversary. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Jmb (talk --jmb 09:40, 29 January 2007 (UTC)

message: #Some expansion is needed.
#References and Citations are crucial for wikipedia, and so these must be added as the article is expanded. Make sure that as many as possible are "in-line" citations.(See WP:References, WP:V, and WP:CITE for guidance.)

message: Nothing about its Cold War use as part of the early warning system? FoCuSandLeArN (talk) 18:24, 10 July 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: That's covered at Lovell_Telescope#ICBM_watchdog. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 17:33, 26 July 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  That's not adequate enough. "Thanks". It's of enough importance to include in this article. There is more information at this link: Four-minute_warning#Basic_details 184.167.181.2 (talk) 08:35, 27 October 2015 (UTC)
thread_title:  Nothing on... 

message: I have reworded this misleading section: the Soviets asked Jodrell Bank to track Luna 9, as it was the only piece of equipment in the world that was able to do so. the way it was phrased, it insinuated that Britain was spying / snooping on the Luna 9 mission or doing it in some kind of underhand way. The Soviets asked for the UK's assistance in order to prove that the probe had indeed landed on the moon.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.190.148.173 (talk) 20:13, 16 December 2015 (UTC)
