merge proposal

The following discussion is closed. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section.

The result was merge into Broughton, Greater Manchester. -- Richerman 23:59, 11 November 2007 (UTC) I have proposed that the three articles are merged into this one as they are all unreferenced stubs that haven't been developed. I have already pasted in the text to see how it looks. I intend to develop the Broughton article and see that it's properly referenced. Most of the stuff from the other articles seems to be original research anyway, so it will be deleted unless I can find some references for it. Richerman 01:03, 27 October 2007 (UTC)

Image

Would this image be a suitable representation of Broughton? I'm thinking for the static image in the infobox. --Jza84 |  Talk  17:31, 30 June 2008 (UTC)

I'm not sure exactly where the border is - does it follow the Irwell at that point? If the flats are definitely in Broughton it would do for now, although I wouldn't say it was particularly representative as it's right on the edge of the district and Broughton has quite a mix of old and new properties. I'll have to get the camera out when I have the chance and see if I can take something more central. Richerman (talk) 11:42, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

I wasn't sure myself either. As a piece of photography, its very good to my sensibilities, so seems a shame to not use it (when it's suitably licenced!). I think it may be Lower Broughton, but possibly Wallness.

Seeing as you're here and you've semi-offered (!)... if you're out and about taking some flicks, any chance of snapping the old Salford Town Hall? It doesn't appear on Flickr or Geograph. --Jza84 |  Talk  14:13, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Well, as it's not a million miles from the my workplace on the Crescent, I suppose I could do that :-) In fact I may have a photo already. I've just got to find out where the wife's hidden my trusty digital camera! Richerman (talk) 14:54, 1 July 2008 (UTC)+

I thought I had one somewhere, was this what you had in mind?

Perfect! Thanks! :D --Jza84 |  Talk  19:50, 1 July 2008 (UTC)

Change picture

This picture may need to be changed, that park is called Clowes Park and though it is in Broughton Park and often called Broughton Park by locals, it is not actually called Broughton Park itself. (Did that make sense? It's too late at night.) I'm not sure whether to change the caption, picture, or both so I've just left it for now and mentioned it here. Sparrer (talk) 03:28, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

The area the park is in, IS Broughton Park !!! Live by it. To say the area generally is affluent is a bit of a joke. Sure parts of Higher Broughton ARE, and all Broughton Park is, but Lower Broughton, despite the New Broughton development is very much what we in the UK call "inner city" !!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2.30.232.17 (talk) 09:16, 29 February 2012 (UTC)

We do need a more representative image of Broughton in the infobox. The photo gives the impression of beautiful suburbia, when I think its fair to say the reality is that it is more... urban! But which image can we use? --Jza84 |  Talk  11:15, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

I agree, it's a lovely image that should stay in the article but it's not really representative of the whole area. When it's moved it could replace the one of Bella Vista gates, which is a bit pointless as they no longer exist. I'll see if I can get something better for the infobox. Richerman (talk) 11:24, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Is there a particular landmark that could be used? Perhaps a church, or even a road? I've always found it hard for the inner city to find representative images. --Jza84 |  Talk  11:29, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Probably Great Clowes Street or Bury New Road are the most central. I think I have some of the large Victorian terraces on Great Clowes Street that may be ok. I have some of St. John's church but I'm not sure it's really all that representive - although it's probably the oldest church in the area. Richerman (talk) 12:57, 25 November 2008 (UTC)

Broughton College

Apparently this was a prominent school in the nineteenth century. Does anyone know of this college?Kwib (talk) 11:42, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

I'll see if I can find anything on it. Your second reference isn't working - is it supposed to be the same as the first one? Richerman (talk) 12:50, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

That is excellent, thank you. With regard to the reference that is not working, I am unsure what you mean. I have added the page number and publish date now to the Francis Marshall book, but I don't think that this is what you were referring to.Kwib (talk) 22:30, 30 March 2011 (UTC)

The one named "football" was showing as a cite error but the bot below seems to have fixed it. Richerman (talk) 08:13, 31 March 2011 (UTC)

Orphaned references in Broughton, Greater Manchester

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Broughton, Greater Manchester's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "football":

• From England: "Sheffield FC: 150 years of history". FIFA. Retrieved 2009-09-05.
• From Broughton RUFC: Francis Marshall, Football, the rugby union game

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 15:31, 30 March 2011 (UTC)
