message: The explosives section includes two new factories were built alongside the River Swale in Faversham. River Swale is wikilinked, but to the river in Yorkshire. I am not sure if it should be linked to The Swale, or whether the factories were by Faversham Creek. Bob1960evens (talk) 21:44, 16 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: From reading the sources and old maps, the 19th century factories were based toward Oare along Uplees Road, northwest of town about here. There's hardly anything left. In any case, the channel separating the Isle of Sheppey from mainland Kent is called "The Swale" - it's not a river as there is no source. As the Swale has been mentioned earlier in the article, any link here is redundant in any case. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 09:37, 17 June 2015 (UTC)

message: For some time, the article has said that Faversham is 48 miles from London. Today, that was challenged, by somebody else saying it was 58 miles.
I've checked the article, and somewhat surprisingly (given this is supposed to be a good article) the 48 miles claim is unsourced. I've done a quick google for "London to Faversham as the crow flies" and I get this link which claims it is 45 miles straight, and 54 miles by car.
I don't know how reliable a source that is - can anybody do better? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:07, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

message: A group of us are looking to include additional information about the Faversham Society on this page (or we may create a new page). We have found 3 additional civic societies have pages on Wikipedia around so planned to follow this model - see for example Birmingham Civic Society. Secker.jane (talk) 15:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I would suggest writing a standalone article about the society in a sandbox first; if you find you can write about 300 words on the society from independent, third party sources, then a standalone article is probably suitable. The existing coverage in the article could be extended by a sentence or two more, but probably not much more than that as it would start to distort the balance of everything else in the main town article. You might also want to talk with  who wrote most of the Birmingham Civic Society article. Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:35, 13 October 2022 (UTC)

message: The Archaeology section is incomplete. It has a couple of specific discoveries listed. There should be a coherent set of the significant Archaeological Discoveries made. For example, uncovering the abbey and Roman Villa excavations by Philp in the 60s, the discovery of the high-status Anglo-Saxon (Jutish) Cemetry in the 19th century by the railway builders and brick makers. The Roman Burials found in the area. The uncovering of Davington manor. Evidence for neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age occupation. John27813kent (talk) 17:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
