thread_title:  Statistics 

message: I live nearby. These are just some items I am aware of, but the facts need researching.
* The Uckfield bypass. It made a big difference, any statistics. Was there a Uckfield bypass campaign, why is it a single carriageway?
* Around ten years ago, the town was flooded. Details, pictures.

replies: text:  I had some pictures of the 2000/2001 floods, but I've changed pcs twice since, so it'll take some digging to find them. Kelvingreen 22:50, 21 January 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  More suggestions. 

message: The bypass was built as single carriageway because the original plans (in the 30s) were single and they were just carried out from there the local council didn't want to cause uproar at upgrading the road; newer connecting roads in the area are build to be wider (presumably to increase capacity) after the bypass was built when separate applications were put in Profjack (talk) 16:29, 6 May 2009 (UTC)

message: The origin of the town's name seems very certain; is it possible to see some sources linked/quoted? I only ask because I was under the impresson that no one really knew where the name came from. The theory I'd heard most commonly was of a Saxon lord called Ucca who'd set up a settlement ("feld") there. Kelvingreen 07:27, 10 October 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: The current Etymology section is a poorly written and totally unsourced mish-mash of conjecture. Celtic "high" AND Celtic "water"? Or perhaps it's really "oak" after all... More research needed! -- Picapica (talk) 18:53, 30 July 2013 (UTC)
thread_title:  Ucca's Feld? 

message: My uncle was stationed at Uckfield when he was doing his national service in 1950.  Is there an army base around here still?  He was in the Intelligence Corps, but I don't know if that was after he left Uckfield and was posted elsewhere. 86.153.216.204 15:56, 25 June 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: I think that some of the Manor Park estate was once barracks (or at least that there were barracks up that end of town), but I can't be sure. Kelvingreen (talk) 11:01, 27 December 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: Sorry

message: This article , the Wikipedia notes on writing about settlements, suggests a certain layout. I have followed it as closely as I can: you will see that it helps a great deal in putting the right things in the right places and reminds an editor what can be included. The comments above often talk about about quite small matters IMO, which are not really necessary in an encyclopaedia article. I have also reduced the rail section: all the comments hitherto are all included in the Wealden Line article as well as the station one. The same thing applies to the history section: as long as the main things are included, a reader who wants to go further can look up the reference I have quoted.
I hope that any future editors can add more - there are plenty of gaps! Nothing about sport; or the industry in Uckfield to give just two examples. I know very little about the place, but have been able to Google quite a bit!!! Peter Shearan (talk) 16:17, 2 April 2008 (UTC)

message: The following suggestions were generated by a semi-automatic javascript program, and might not be applicable for the article in question.
*Please expand the lead to conform with guidelines at Wikipedia:Lead. The article should have an appropriate number of paragraphs as is shown on WP:LEAD, and should adequately summarize the article.[?]
*This article has no or few images. Please see if there are any free use images that fall under the Wikipedia:Image use policy and fit under one of the Wikipedia:Image copyright tags that can be uploaded. To upload images on Wikipedia, go to Special:Upload; to upload non-fair use images on the Wikimedia Commons, go to commons:special:upload.[?]
*If there is not a free use image in the top right corner of the article, please try to find and include one.[?]
*Per Wikipedia:Manual of Style (headings), headings generally should not repeat the title of the article. For example, if the article was Ferdinand Magellan, instead of using the heading ==Magellan's journey==, use ==Journey==.[?]
*Watch for redundancies that make the article too wordy instead of being crisp and concise. (You may wish to try Tony1's redundancy exercises.)
**Vague terms of size often are unnecessary and redundant -  “some”, “a variety/number/majority of”, “several”, “a few”, “many”, “any”, and “all”. For example, “All pigs are pink, so we thought of a number of ways to turn them green.”
*Please ensure that the article has gone through a thorough copyediting so that it exemplifies some of Wikipedia's best work. See also User:Tony1/How to satisfy Criterion 1a.[?]

replies: text: I removed it as I cannot see enough notability for her to be on this list, no personal page, and no verifiable sources online. More that happy for it to be put back if you can show notability. Bacchus87 (talk) 15:39, 9 August 2009 (UTC)

message: Could someone consider updating this page as the information is at risk of becoming out of date, I also feel that their are too many sections contained within the page. Below I've listed a few of the more significant things that maybe worthy of mention on Wikipedia. Their are also continuing citation issues that need addressing.
1. Uckfield Town Centre Regeneration http://www.eastsussex.gov.uk/roadsandtransport/roads/roadschemes/uckfieldtransport/default.htm.

thread_title: Updates

message: I've updated the "notable people" section with regards to Nicholas van Hoogstraten. I'm conscious that there is/was a need for additional citations and as a result I've attempted to restructure the sentences to reflect the ambiguity over whether works are ongoing. If there are concerns about my edit or how we can move the subject forward, please leave a comment below. Arkhangelsk185 (talk) 23:00, 18 March 2016 (UTC)
