long-term planning in a political vacuum. Decisions were influenced not just by explicit government interference but by the political difficulties of imposing job losses in Labour strongholds. The economic factors mentioned were certainly of great importance but don't tell the whole story. Unless we want a detailed discussion of 1970s politics in the article I feel it would be better just to state the effect of
British Steel's strategy on the Corby works.

On the question of the new industries that came to Corby, I agree that distribution facilities were important for many of them, but other factors including the nature of the workforce and the planning and subsidy climate were important too. Unless we're willing to have a discussion of all the factors
498:
I simply disagree with your assertion that virtually all new industry located in Corby for distribution reasons.Good transport infrastructure is of course a factor, but I think that the
Enterprise Zone and Assisted Area status were at least as important. In any case this remains a matter of opinion
443:
While these factors did exist to some degree they had no impact on the Corby decision. The fundamental reason Corby closed was due to the poor ore and any history that does not explain this is fundamentally flawed. No integrated steelmaking site in the world has survived based on 30% ores. The only
575:
I have assessed the article against the criteria specified by WikiProject:UK Geography and regraded the article as C Class. The article requires cleanup, particularly in the area you mention above - one section details a bus service that is still running, while the other describes it in the past
471:
Corby's success is undoubtedly down to its location and good communications. The availability of labour of course influenced things but not as much as the financial incentives, however it was the most successful
Enterprise Zone because the others did not have the benefits of Corby’s location. The

I'm sorry, but I really don't think that deleting large sections of an article like that is justified, even if the article wasn't written from a NPOV. I have reverted the article to its previous state, and marked it as disputed. I would clear this up myself, but I know nothing about Corby and so
438:
My two main reasons for changing Rolo Tamasi's assertions about
British Steel's strategy are (1) Steel making was not just to be restricted to coastal regions -- Sheffield is as far from the coast as Corby. (2) It ignores the fact that nationalised industries in the 1970s did not conduct their
195:
My understanding was that, although there are more populous places, such as
Gosport, without a railway station, they can be considered part of a larger urban area or conurbation, for example Gosport-Fareham, with the latter having a station. Corby's claim was based on the fact that it is not a
449:
The area that political "favouring" may have been a factor was
Glasgow. The only way to compete was to have sites making no less than 3 million tonnes each, preferably 5 million. British Steel therefore did not want 5 integrated sites they wanted no more than 4. Ravenscraig was the high cost
352:, and since I didn't previously realise that I should have sought consensus first I'd like to leave it open for discussion now. I personally think that things are more organised with a References section at the end of the article; does anyone object to leaving things as they currently are?
555:
I notice that this article has been rated as B Class. However I feel that in its current form it contains a lot of unsubstantiated information, opinion, and more than a few contradictory statements (see for example the information on the new station under transport, and then contradictory
292:
I've rewritten and expanded the article in a (hopefully) more encyclopedic way. I've also removed the POV tag since I think the status of 'disputed neutrality' isn't justified for the fairly minor POV transgressions. I won't mind if someone decides to put the POV tag back.
406:
The intro talks of it as a town and district, but perhaps the most important fact is that it's a borough. Insofar as the name is also given to a constituency which, as far as I can see, doesn't coincide with the borough, this should also be made clear early on. And might
444:
non-coastal steel making (iron making) to remain was
Scunthorpe, while substantial investments took place at the big coastal sites in South Wales and Teesside. There is no evidence at all that there was some political "favouring" taking place in the decision.
494:
I don't doubt that access to the coast was a factor in choosing where to concentrate steel making, but if the article is to move beyond the facts of what happend to an analysis of the reasons for decisions then those reasons need to referenced in the
530:
My personal view (not therefore expressed in the article) is that the location issues are fundamental long-term economic differentiators for Corby’s growth. The others factors were more responsible for the extremely fast change to high employment.
516:
We agree. AA and EZ were very important, as were many other factors, workforce, local government rolling its sleeves up and really getting stuck in etc. However, location and transport communications also were major
116:
I'm not sure this justfies being moved for the sake of some actress whose second name is Corby, I would of thought this was a pretty sound case for "primary disambiguation". Besides Corby (town) is completely wrong.
362:
Removed the statement "Due to a very selective student intake." from the text on Brooke Weston. It's ambiguous but I think it implies a common misconception about the school picking the best and brightest children.
559:
From reading the assessment criteria for
Geography based articles, I feel that at best this could be rated C Class, and more likely Start Class until a thorough clean-up is undertaken...anyone got any views?

remaining site but was to survive for another decade. An important factor was that government financial support for steelmaking (i.e. funding lossmaking plants) had been made illegal in the EU.
735:
73:
I'm not absolutely certain about this, so haven't put it in the article, but isn't Corby the largest place in
Britain without a mainline railway station, now that Mansfield has one?
