[edit] Politics
As parts of Kingston upon Thames fall in 2 parliamentary contituentcies, I have added 'Richmond Park' (which covers the northernmost wards in the Borough) alongside 'Kingston and Surbiton'. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Indisciplined (talk • contribs) .
[edit] City Contacts
I removed the remark: "It is also twinned with Delft in the Netherlands". This city contact was ended years ago. Jaho 01:52, 11 August 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Postal districts
I've removed KT3 and KT4 again. They are not even in the Kingston upon Thames post town. MRSC • Talk 10:47, 25 November 2006 (UTC)
[edit] List of notable people
I have just deleted two names from the list and was tempted to zap a few more. Of the two names removed, one was insufficiently notable to yet have a wikipedia article, the other linked to a 'vanity' article proposed for deletion. I know it is subjective but the people on the list should elict some degree of interest among the general populace. I can't think of a simple rule, but somehow obscure murderers should not qualify even if they have articles. One possibility would be to remove anything not immediately put in alphabetical order; that would catch most of them! Any ideas on a policy? JMcC 08:59, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
Personally I think the redlink/bluelink distinction is the key one. Beyond that, as the list is currently titled, it seems wrong to pick & choose, except perhaps on length of residence. I'm surprised Birch has an article though. The next step could be to up the standard and retitle the list "famous people" , "very notable" "significant...". But all these involve subjectivity & would perhaps shorten the lists too much Johnbod 13:20, 27 March 2007 (UTC)
