? New Bridewell = Central Police Station, Bristol

Can anyone tell me if the link on the list of police stations for the New Bridewell should point at Central Police Station, Bristol I have done an article under that name as that is what the listing building status says but I wondered if they were the same thing? — Rod ^talk 21:34, 5 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Two years later - a reply. No the New Bridewell is the office block almost next door on Lewin's Mead, which has been surrounded by scaffolding for several years. Jezhotwells (talk) 21:44, 23 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The Avon and Somerset Bobby Van Trust

The section on The Avon and Somerset Bobby Van Trust has been tagged with a notability banner - if no one can find sources to demonstrate its notability should this section be removed?— Rod ^talk 14:24, 8 June 2012 (UTC)[reply]

As no one came forward on this I have removed the section on the Bobby Van with the notability tag - if anyone can find suitable sources please put it back.— Rod ^talk 19:07, 16 September 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Orphaned references in Avon and Somerset Constabulary

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Avon and Somerset Constabulary's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "BBCarticle":

From Chief constable: "Colette Paul named as new Bedfordshire Police chief". BBC. 17 May 2013. Retrieved 14 May 2014.
From Nick Gargan: "Avon and Somerset Police chief Nick Gargan suspended over claims". BBC. Retrieved 13 May 14. {{cite web}}: Check date values in: |accessdate= (help)

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT ⚡ 07:38, 17 September 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Page move

I have moved the article from Avon and Somerset Constabulary to Avon and Somerset Police simply because that is the name the force uses on their website, in documentation and in press released so it's the offical name and Commonname. C. 22468 Talk to me 00:09, 8 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
