These seem to be advertising and therefore should be removed. Normanhurst School is not one of the 'landmarks' of Chingford since it looks like a set of redbrick Victorian houses on Station Road and is not something especially visible or used by locals to find their way.
The article states Chingford is in East London, in Essex. Which is it? It can't be in both, unless the border runs through the town like it does in Woodford Green. If so, please reflect this.
It is in East London; link has all the districts whch includes Waltham Forest. The Essex reference is 'historic' so moved further down the lede Jonnyspeed20 (talk) 15:29, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
I think the point is "were" in Essex - simply none of these places are now in the county of Essex, as it is currently defined. There are loads of space in paragraph 2 for talking about the history. Having things like Walthamstow... is in the historical area of Essex in the first line is confusing, it is not in Essex. It's like we don't say Stratford is in the historic area of Ēastseaxe, the land of the Eastern Saxons. Like we don't say "Soho is in the ancient county of Middlesex" in the first line of the entry Jonnyspeed20 (talk) 10:44, 18 August 2021 (UTC)
Why in the first line are we mentioning technical stuff like ceremonial counties. "Chingford is a suburban area of East London within the London Borough of Waltham Forest. Part of Essex until 1965, the area borders..." would be better. LondonEast4 (talk) 22:28, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
and how many times has LondonEast4 asserted their edit?- 6 times. You reverted his edits every time. And yet I see no discussion here from you, so I am not clear in what sense you tink you are complying with WP:BRD. Then again, that is just a guideline, like the guideline that says when talking about counties (which we are, when we say something was in a county) we use past tense. I see that when editors change Middlesex to use past tense as per the WP:UKCOUNTIES they do indeed get reverted. By you. . So you specifically reverted an edit on that page from a version compliant with guidelines to one that is not. If you think there is hounding, as I said to you at Talk:Romford, you will discuss that at ANI. This is not the place. If you think the guidelines are wrong, you will discuss that on the guidelines pages, preferably with an RFC. The only question we have here, and it is not me who is ignoring this question, is why should this page be edited with text that does not conform to the guidelines which specifcally say
We do not take the minority view that the historic counties still exist with the former boundaries.Clearly there is no world in which such a statement could be true for articles about counties and not true for articles that are talking about counties. What is it about Chingford that makes it an exception? Exceptions exist, but at no point have you made any argument that Chingford is an exception. Instead, you have just re-asserted your same edit, without discussion, for the 17th time on this page alone. Sirfurboy🏄 (talk) 19:51, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
Discuss your bold edit with the person who reverted you. To follow BRD specifically, instead of one of the many alternatives, you must not restore your bold edit, make a different edit to this part of the page, or engage in back-and-forth reverting. Talk to that one person until the two of you have reached an agreement... If your bold edit was reverted, then do not re-revert to your version. If your reversion was reverted, then do not re-revert to your version. Instead, take it to the talk page (see below). If you re-revert, then you are no longer following BRD.LondonEast4 is the bold editor, and it is therefore up to them to initiate discussion. On "this page alone" there has also been sockpuppetry/editwarring from the likes of Jonnyspeed20 - the "17" times I have asserted this wording would include edits/reverts made when this account was active.
I see that when editors change Middlesex to use past tense as per the WP:UKCOUNTIES they do indeed get reverted. By you." Why the snarkiness? On the Middlesex article, I only ever reverted TWO edits from ONE editor. Stable wording, for the article's 20-year existence, has been "is a historic county". On the rare occasion that this wording is changed to "was", a revert takes place. Look at the article's 20-year history.
The only question we have here, and it is not me who is ignoring this question, is why should this page be edited with text that does not conform to the guidelines which specifcally say We do not take the minority view that the historic counties still exist with the former boundaries...What is it about Chingford that makes it an exception?" - as I have said elsewhere, whether your view is, or consensus is, that the historic counties were abolished (I would argue they were not), the wording "is in the historic county of", in the present tense, would not be incorrect or misleading, as "historic county" refers to the definition of the counties according to historical traditions (i.e. the areas which served as lieutenancy areas and the sole definition of "the counties" before the Local Government Act 1888). Even if changes to local government areas did did abolish the traditional/historic counties, the meaning of "historic county" would remain the same. The past-tense wording "was in the historic county of", which you have used, would imply that the traditional counties were distinguished from other definitions of the counties as being the "historic" ones before there were any other types of county from which to distinguish them. The Government itself, and plenty of reliable sources, many of which originate from Government webpages and documents, use the present tense to refer to historic counties. PlatinumClipper96 (talk) 21:11, 21 November 2022 (UTC)
There are two objections here, 1. Historic counties are not officially recognised by any authority or the post office. Maps showing their boundaries are always historical documents. We might as well say "England is part of the historic Roman Empire".
2. If we really must mention ceremonial and historic counties, terms seldom heard beyond these pages, could they please as another editor agreed previously, not be in the first paragraph. The history of the political geography of Chingford is well documented in the second paragraph. The start of this paragraph is the perfect place to mention historic counties, preferably in the past tense. LondonEast4 (talk) 23:23, 22 November 2022 (UTC)
Thank you Sirfurboy, this clears up confusion, conforms with the guidelines, and is accurate and relevant. LondonEast4 (talk) 13:14, 23 November 2022 (UTC)
When I view this page there is a big blank gap under the 'Landmarks' heading. Does anyone know how to remove this?
The statement, "Contrary to popular myth, Lawrence never lived on Pole Hill," needs a citation. (The Pole Hill page contradicts this statement, saying, "Lawrence of Arabia once owned a considerable amount of land on the western side of the hill and built himself a small hut there in which he lived for several years." It has a citation but this doesn't actually say he lived there.) Nonky (talk) 20:32, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
Her wiki page states that she lives in kent, and i could find no evidence so suggest otherwise, so i have deleted that line from the notable people section.86.21.103.217 (talk) 14:57, 10 May 2009 (UTC)
