Needs a comparison table

A comparison of the differences between the villages would be a useful addition to this page. --Tomhannen (talk) 16:30, 27 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

UK Business Studies GCSE Case Study

..focuses on Center Parcs, this year. When I get the exam out the way I'll be able to use the case study to add more information to this article. -Mark 17:11, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Small edit

Removed opinions, such as "wonderful", and changed the "your" things to general things.--82.24.185.3 21:00, 22 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Poorly written

This article is poorly written. The individual sections are for the most part ok, but as a whole theres a lot of repetition. I'll edit it if I get time. EAi 17:49, 27 November 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Reads like an advertisement

It really does. Do we really need the rundown on exactly whats there, which restaurant serves what food and that Lakeside Inn is only available at Winfell forest? - this is all on the website where they can advertise all they like, but for Wikipedia it seems a little too in-depth. I think a paragraph generalising about what's there would be better rather than naming each and every restaurant. JameiLei 23:18, 16 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Agreed - this is an advert. 81.107.222.61 11:02, 18 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Slashed though the exessive lisiting of eateries etc.--GazMan7 19:46, 4 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Removed and refrased

Removed or refrased the parts of the article that seemed to come directly from the Centerparcs Sales & Marketing Dept. (Spacious villa's, Absolute privacy etc). The article is a bit in-depth indeed. But the information statet in the article is correct, and in some cases critical to.

'Center' parcs

Actually, being that it is a company os Dutch origin, the spelling 'Center' parcs is the right spelling.80.192.246.56 (talk) 19:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)Falcon-Eagle200780.192.246.56 (talk) 19:29, 19 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Planning permission - unlikely statement

In the article it currently says this:

Planning permission has now been granted by the British government for this new village to be built

I think that is extremely unlikely to be true. The British government does not as far as I know grant planning permission although under some circumstances the relevant minister can rule on an application that has been called in. But that is not what is being said here and I think it's pretty improbable. Planning permission is usually granted by local authorities, and looking at the Center Parcs Warren Wood article that's what it sounds like in there. It would be good if someone who knows the subject (i.e. not me!) could have a look at this and perhaps sort it out, if required. Thanks. 92.234.10.126 (talk) 22:53, 30 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

From memory, the local parish council turned it down (by 1 vote). Center Parcs appealed, which then went to sec of state. It was then granted on appeal.--GazMan7 (talk) 08:28, 31 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

If that is so then it would be helpful if the article stated it. The Sec of State letting it go on appeal is NOT the same as "the British Government" granting permission, which remains a bizarre idea.92.234.10.126 (talk) 18:15, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I simply deleted the phrase "by the British government" as it was entirely superfluous, and avoids the need for any further discussion :-) 217.155.138.250 (talk) 19:09, 17 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

What does this even mean?

I was looking at the artical and came across this

CenterParcs Europe is owned by a French company called Pierre et Vacances[1]. Centerparcs Europe[2] and Centerparcs UK only share history, name and logo.

What does this mean? Is just nothingness! Also as far as I can tell if it shares history, name and logo is is the same thing! What is a busness its its history! Just a thought! --Inputdata (talk) 15:01, 11 April 2009 (UTC)[reply]

It does make sense. Centreparcs UK and Centreparcs Europe have different owners, so they are unrelated as businesses now. Think of franchises, different owners. Pollythewasp (talk) 11:45, 12 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

"a devout Jew"

Both this article and the article on Derksen himself state that he was "of Jewish descent" or a "devout Jew". The more elaborated Dutch articles contain however ample information about him being a devout catholic, and that this was the reason why the parks originally all had a church or a chapel. Either the English version or the Dutch version has to be wrong. MaartenVidal (talk) 18:47, 10 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]
