I really cannot see why we should put anything in reply to your entry! You have created chaos all round this article, opening up all those stubs about wards and putting in simply incorrect "facts" (the tunnel at St
Leonards was not the problem with the Hastings line at all). I have been attempting to
679:
I would suggest something similar but opposite. If the wards match a specific area, it can be mentioned on the area page. Otherwise can the wards not be detailed on the local authority page? Wards are renamed and boundary changed quite often as I seem to suffer from quite a lot. It all depends on

it was extremely important as a source of iron for the Romans, and as the port from which the iron was shipped. The site at
Beauport Park was one of the largest in the Roman Empire, reckoned to have employed 1000 men. Marchant refers to the Saxon appellation of Hastingaceastre to support his case.
101:
I have just read your article on
Hastings, East Sussex which I thought was excellent. One small point: In your list of current residents you have a link to Emma B, but the link takes you to an article about Emma B, presenter, rather than Emma B, model. They are two different people - I know because

I came across this article the other day - I have been looking at Kent towns of late. I was born in
Hastings, so thought I ought to do something! I too was totally gobsmacked with all those stubs - I loved the one that said that Maze Hill was a village! - but hadn't seen this discussion until now.
215:
It is often wrongly assumed - as is the case here - that the Old Town is the original site of the port. Marchant shows that the
Hastingas had their original settlement in the Bulverhythe/Pebsham area (-hythe being the Saxon name for a port). They later moved to the Priory, where the stream gave a
368:
I was surprised that there was no mention of the closure of the pier, so I've done that. If anyone knows of any plans (real plans, not just whining and wailing from the owners!) to fix it, please add to the page. At that point, information about the pier should probably get its own section.
216:
better place for a port, protected from the SW storms by the White Rock. It was only after violent storms and ravages by the Danes on the early 11th century that the town once more relocated to the old Town valley, and the
Domesday Book refers to the new Borough (New Burg).
155:
I removed this image, as it not only didn't fit correctly in to the page layout but it's inappropriate since the text doesn't mention it at all in any way. There's no point just pasting in images just because they exist when they dont add to the quality of the article. --
592:
The "Visitor attractions" section claims that the Old Town includes buildings dating from "the earliest days of the town". I've added the "fact" template, as I would be interested if anyone could confirm that there are buildings dating from the Anglo-Saxon period!
815:
Since there seems to be general agreement as to their total waste of space, I shall be getting them all merged. It is perhaps unfortunate that the author of them all is apparently incognito: as well as being not very Wiki-informed!
105:
I fixed the reference. I also removed a couple of joke suggestions placed by anonymous editors. I would appreciate someone else doublechecking the others on the list. Well done to the editors who worked on the article
228:
I have changed the history section to bring it into line with my comments above; have slightly changed the
Geography section to include the population stats; and added some more historical residents
212:
The Iron Age fort on the East Hill was described in 1990 as "one of the best preserved and most impressive earthworks in East Sussex" by the County
Archaeologist, so "traces" is a little dismissive.
79:
This entry needs further additions to make it useful. I have added notes on two key texts and a comment on curent developments - but I admit this is sketchy and to be useful needs much further work.
452:
Unfortunately, the map and dot system has a bug. It appears in different places depending on your browser. For me, IE7 is showing it near
Chichester, and Firefox shows it near Godalming.
475:
Isn't the detailed information on trains and carriages etc a little too detailed for an article about the town. Wouldn't it be better in a history section in the
Marshlink Line article?
138:
There's a bit of inconsistency in this section. Some people are listed with DOB/DOD and most aren't. Perhaps this information is not needed as it can be found by following the wiklinks.
832:
I have also removed all the "Notable people to a separate article, although there again I found that there were a plethora of lists and sub-lists for them. See my further comment below

An unknown editor deleted the first two paragraphs of this section (See ). I have reinstated them because they seem relevant and fairly neutral in POV except:
181:
Sure go ahead dude. I just meant it was pointless how it was, I'm sure it can be used. Just keep an eye on how many images are already in the article. --

MP is Labour. Although the council is Conservative (I think), this seems misleading. Is there a way to change this or does 'executive' mean the council?

1114:, these subpages are now deprecated. The comments may be irrelevant or outdated; if so, please feel free to remove this section.
268:
I've just chopped two paragraphs as the were repeated later in the section. The ones deleted didn't fit the chronological flow.
1038:
I have added a new infobox that I feel is the appropriate one. If you dont agree please state why here rather than removing.
252:
Last sentence of para 2 could be contrued as non-neutral? Perhaps the word "Hampered" is a bit strong? "Complicated" better?
570:
It would be nice to have a picture of the traditional wooden fishing boats rather than the relatively modern steel boats.
