Herne Bay, Kent[edit]

Hi. I'm aiming to get this to FA status. Any recommendations would be very much appreciated. Epbr123 02:45, 2 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Good work so far, a few ideas
  • a more detailed map of northern Kent would be good, showing the relevant items discussed in the article eg town (obviously), beach, Whitstable and oyster beds, windfarm, Canterbury etc  Done
  • generally try to remove some of the uses of "Herne Bay" and replace with "the town" or "the area" as it doesn't read well with so much repetition in some of the sections  Done
  • use the {{main|ARTICLE}} template eg in the Politics section
  • create an "Architecture" section discussing the general style and any individual buildings
  • does the article need Pre-20th and 20th/21st century sections (perhaps the most recent 21st century paragraphs would be better elsewhere in the article, possibly the economy section), either
  • combine in the History section  Done
  • or create a main article History of Herne Bay, Kent and reduce to a smaller overview section
  • I think the historical census detail would be better in "Demographics" as a paragraph detailing the growth of the town.
  • expand the paragraph on the harbour, in the History section, and move to "Economy"  Done
  • more information could be added to the "Economy" section, with details of the industries mentioned,  Done
  • change the format of the "Popular culture" section, removing the list, discuss why the town was used in all of these productions, possibly because of its traditional seaside look  Done
  • do we need the bus timetable in the "Transport links" section, details discussing why the routes are in place would be better - Margate, neighbouring resort - Canterbury, main city  Done
  • expand the "Twin towns" section with detail of the comparisons between the towns and work done with each other  Done
  • more detail needed in the "Famous residents" section, eg short explanation of what Bob Holness did, what popstars is etc, try to remove the list format  Done
