Untitled

Why is it that Barratt Developments are continuing to shake the foundations of my home? I live in Bridgeton , Glasgow, UK and the vibrations of floors, household items make it a real annoyance. The cause of the vibrations is a development area adjacent to the crescent I live in.

Thank goodness for Building Insurance.

Problems with Barratt Developments/Homes

There is no mention here of the poor reviews, building assesments (e.g. 2003 Customer Satisfation Survery conducted by MORI), and recent television documentaries about Barratt homes and their poor value for money, nor the growing anti-Barratt campaign. Should this be included, since as it stands the article is a one-sided piece of advertising?. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 129.234.4.1 (talk • contribs) 12:06, 22 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

It may be included in a proportionate way and in compliance with Wikipedia:neutral point of view, but the present article is not advertising at all. Chicheley 00:05, 2 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Barrattlogo.gif

Image:Barrattlogo.gif is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Criticisms

That the criticisms section is only three sentences long suggests that the people who wrote this article were fast asleep. 31.52.252.247 (talk) 18:28, 30 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Barratt Redrow

I propose that we start a new article for the new Barratt Redrow business even though Barratt Developments seems to be the dominant partner. Technically Barratt Developments is going to change its name to Barratt Redrow: see here. So, we could just rename the Barratt Developments article. However in the case of Taylor Wimpey we started a new article and that worked well. Views welcome. Dormskirk (talk) 18:05, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Paul W - Which do you think would work best? Dormskirk (talk) 22:11, 19 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Noted that this has been achieved by renaming the Barratt Developments article - which is fine. Dormskirk (talk) 19:32, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Seemed logical. Barratt was the larger business, and was founded earlier. Creating a new article would have meant duplicating some descriptions of their two previous histories. Paul W (talk) 21:46, 9 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
