Civil Parish article

Extracted from the guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements.

Writing about the smallest of settlements in the UK can be difficult due to the lack of source material, especially when compared with the country's major metropolises. Some of the UK's smallest settlements may form part of a civil parish or council ward. Country hamlets and villages may mention significant places that might not be considered part of the village, but which lie within the parish or ward. Hamlets that are within another parish or council ward could have their own articles, but if there is no more than a couple of paragraphs that could be said about the hamlet it may be best practice to merge the articles.

Salehurst and Robertsbridge is the Civil Parish, as such we will need to create the Salehurst and Robertsbridge article. The question is do we merge the two village articles into the Civil Parish article?

~~I think merge, the infobox relates to the Parish. There is duplicated information within the articles eg the Cistercian monks.~~ MortimerCat (talk) 09:26, 3 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I am creating the Parish article and tidying Salehurst and Robertsbridge so they only refer to the village. The villages have enough information to stand on their own. MortimerCat (talk) 07:44, 18 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

New section: Internet

Robertsbridge is a little unusual in that there are 3 mutually independent websites covering the village and/or parish. It is most technically correct that the Infobox contains the Parish Council website as the Infobox "website" key is defined as being the council website. But it is worth mentioning that the 3 sites taken together most completely cover village life and affairs.

It seemed worth mentioning the 3 local school/preschool sites too, though I'd accept other viewpoints on that. Now it would be possible to carry on and mention the several major clubs and societies that have a serious web presence - but it may be neater to start a section on "Societies" in general rather than lumping them under "Internet". Likewise, this line of thinking throws into question whether the (pre)schools would be better served by a section called "Educational Establishments" or similar. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Timjwatts (talk • contribs) 17:02, 31 May 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Tim, thank you for your additions. I have moved the webpage links you added, including your relevant descriptions, to the external links section which is the usual place for them. Antarctic-adventurer (talk) 08:06, 1 June 2011 (UTC)[reply]
