Improvements[edit]

I've had a read through the article and have come up with a few points that I think need addressing:

  • The last paragraph of the 'Geography and administration' refers to "The separate civil parish [that] was merged into Stockport parish in 1935". I might have missed something, but I think that's the first reference to a civil parish in the article so which one is it referring to?
  • In the first paragraph of the '1066 to late 18th century' sub-section of the 'History section there is the sentence: "The Reddish family were major landowners in the area from at least 1212 to 1613 when title passed by marriage..." what title?
  • Also, do we need the sentence "Reddish is not rich in history"?
  • I'm not sure what this statement from the 'Industrial Revolution' section means: "As the title in the mules had passed to the scrapman"

Thanks for looking ovre the article and your input. It's spinning mules, and as they had been sold, the scrapman owned them (ie had title in them) and so it was impossible for the Mill to decommission them and claim the compensation. Regards, Mr Stephen 14:09, 14 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

GA nomination[edit]

I think that this is a very good article and meets the criteria of GA, I would like to nominate it but think two minor points need to be addressed first:

  • The lead needs to be expanded: I'm more than happy to do this myself
  • There isn't much in the '1066 to late 18th century' section; it might help if it something along the lines of “during this period Reddish was mainly an agricultural settlement and continued to grow/did not grow much”was inserted just as a brief explanation, I don't think it needs anything more. Since I'm not the one with the sources this can't be done by me.

There's some stuff in Arrowsmith's Stockport, of which maybe some odds and ends around the Civil Wars may be the most interesting; there's a few pages in Booker's Didsbury, but from memory it's along the lines of "X paid 7/6 tax in 1527". I'll check out those two and the Victoria History and try to come up with a hundred words. The first paragraph of that section always has looked a bit ropey to me, so this is probably a good chance to fix it. Mr Stephen (talk) 12:14, 25 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]
