Review section[edit]

I am nominating this featured article for review because the demographics and education sections need updating. Some unreferenced additions noted. Not too much work but not none either, and enough to warrant a formal review. I placed a request months ago with no response. Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 20:28, 9 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

FARC section[edit]

No action - issues remain outstanding Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 13:42, 26 November 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I removed the {{update}} tag from the Demographics section. The tag states "...section needs to be updated..." (emphasis not added) as if a new census means the article content is incorrect. It is totally valid to say "...at the 2001 UK census it had a population of 35,818...", just like that section states the populations for the year 1981. It would be nice if the article stated the most current census and it certainly should in order to meet the "comprehensive" FA criteria but the tag was not placed correctly. —maclean (talk) 05:05, 10 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Delist. The article was promoted in 2007, and it is showing its age. There is discussion of a proposed power station which "which would open in 2014" and a 2007 comment by a councillor criticising a development project. As pointed out above, the demography and education sections are out of date - they are also partly unreferenced. There is a "not in citation" at the start of the article.

Delist, no progress on stated issues and still needing updating. --Laser brain (talk) 18:03, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]

@DrKay and Nikkimaria:, I'd do the honours myself but I did nominate it so should be someone else...unless we want to leave it open longer....Cas Liber (talk · contribs) 22:50, 31 January 2018 (UTC)[reply]
