we need to redo this. i need to add a link to Flixborough the town. what we need is a disambig page called flixborough, except if you search for 'flixborough' it brings you here.
how do we do this? how do we stop 'flixborough' coming here? I don't know Lincolnshire Poacher
- I had previously fixed this -- see my note below -- there is now a separate page for Flixborough the village. --mervyn 16:25, 4 May 2005 (UTC)
I have now fixed this and set up Flixborough as a stub. Since Flixborough village is the only Flixborough, it doesnt need to be a disambig page, but those wikilinks which lead to Flixborough when they really mean to link to Flixborough disaster should be disambiguated. Forgot to mention that in order to edit a redirect you click where it says Redirected from ... and that opens up the redirect code for editing. --mervyn 10:25, 6 Mar 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Bizarre Coincidences
Edited this section to reflect the speculative nature of the claim. It's an interesting yarn but lacks even a source citation. Any actual corroborating "evidence"? --Oscar Bravo 14:33, 27 April 2006 (UTC)
- I think we can safely remove unsourced vague claims like this!
- ==Bizarre coincidences==
- Lesley Brennan, who lived in the Grimsby area, claimed that at around 12 noon that same day, some five hours before the detonation took place, she was watching her TV when the word NEWSFLASH filled the screen and she learnt about the actual disaster before it had taken place[citation needed]. She told friends at lunch time of the incident/premonition, then later in the day saw the news reports on the television, mistakenly believing it had still taken place around lunchtime[citation needed].
Have done so --mervyn 08:07, 29 April 2006 (UTC)
