Would someone like to add somewhere that in 2015 Amble won Best Coastal High St of the year in the GB High St of the Year Awards. This is a competition run by the DCLG. You can find the info in the Gazette http://www.northumberlandgazette.co.uk/news/local-news/watch-we-will-build-on-success-of-amble-s-victory-say-community-leaders-1-7605105 and Evening Chronicle http://www.chroniclelive.co.uk/news/north-east-news/northumberland-seaside-town-amble-crowned-10528198- and of course The Ambler http://www.theambler.co.uk/2015/11/30/amble-wins-top-coastal-town-accolade/ I would put this up myself but I've been told this is not considered acceptable.

someone has inserted a box about housing and the new hotel right in the middle of community development section. Should it be in a box? But anyway the info should be referenced, and in fact none of this has yet actually happened (eg the houses have not yet been built; the hotel is not yet finished, has anyone actually been given a job?) then it probably should be re-written : eg a large number of houses have recently been given planning permission, although some of the land has subsequently been put up for sale, and as of Oct 2018 the inn is nearly finished and they have been advertising for staff.

In the section about railways it says that the railway 'runs via the nearby Alnmouth for Alnwick Station'. The station in Hipsburn is Alnmouth station, the station in Alnwick closed decades ago. Have I misunderstood this sentence or is it just wrong?-- Jcvamp 17:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

I'm going to alter the statement so it simply' says where it comes from. I believe the statement at the moment is raising questions rather than providing information which is what Wikipedia is about. We need to find a source to confirm exactly what Mauritania radioed to Amble, also I would doubt they would use the word 'kindliest' considering its not a word in the english language according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Furthermore the statement about Berwick being the last port in England is taking the statement out of context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.38.67.211 ( talk) 10:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

Citation is required for the assertion that Amble was known as Amble by the Sea until 1985. The Ordnance Survey still has the civil parish named Amble by the Sea Election Maps as does the Office for National Statistics Census 2001. It appears from trawling through the web that the parish council styles itself Amble Town Council, though I am unable to find any official documents to corroborate this. However, even if this is the case, it does not necessarily mean that the name has been officially changed. Skinsmoke ( talk) 00:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Bit concerned that AnnaattheAmbler is also posting as an interested party (ie as the editor of the Ambler website/newspaper) and "Wiki clearly states self promotion as no-no in its policy docs". The Ambler is technically also a business as it has an income and expenditure stream (ie it takes advertising). I note the amblenorthumberland account has been blocked as a result.
Also if she had read the amblenorthumberland entry properly, they never stated it was the website for Amble but stated they were the website for #AmazingAmble which is their own campaign. Surely as both websites are for the good of the town there should be a spirit of co-operation between them instead of all this bitching and trouble-making. Very disappointing and it doesn't look good at all.
I've deleted the amblenorthumberland paragraph from the Regeneration category and added a new section specifically for the website. I assume no-one can complain about that or remove it. — Preceding unsigned comment added by United2013 ( talk • contribs) 12:04, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

SECTION ON AMBLENORTHUMBERLAND WEBSITE NOW REMOVED — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.184.222.22 ( talk) 18:18, 19 January 2013 (UTC) 86.184.222.22 ( talk) 18:26, 19 January 2013 (UTC)
I am not the one who accused us of lying which in my book is a very serious defamatory statement and I do not take such accusations lightly. In my 40+ years in business (over 20 of them in business education), a business is defined as any organisation with an income and expenditure stream. I still do not see why the website cannot have a section as it is a useful and important new resource for Amble but we will have to agree to differ. 86.184.222.22 ( talk) 18:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

PLEASE STOP WARRING - ITS NOT WORTH IT! Take the links down if they are going to cause so much trouble! Wish I'd never bothered now. The amblenorthumberland website is a local tourism website and its entire aim is to promote and help aid the regeneration of the town. If it is not 'worthy' of a mention on Wikipedia then so be it! BTW funny how when I was adding links I was edit-warring but when 2.219.231.166 does it its called 'reversion'!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by United2013 ( talk • contribs) 10:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC) Sorry forgot to sign my last post - naughty me! United2013 ( talk) 10:25, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
2.219.231.166, you've made a lot of good contributions to the page. You said that a link to The Ambler website is in violation of WP:V (I don't understand how) and WP:ELNO item 19. Is linking to the website possible and if so, in what way, or should it be left out? Also, the Amble Tourist Information site was taken off. On what basis? In regards to the AmbleNorthumberland site, while I don't think it's worthy of inclusion in the body of the article, it does provide information which could merit its inclusion in the External Links.
I think it would be useful to discuss what links should and shouldn't be in the article and come to an agreement before any further editing of links takes place. Everybody can have their say, policy can be quoted for specific links, and links can be considered on their own merit. -- Jcvamp ( talk) 13:55, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm a novice on here and because the talk page sections no longer match the actual page, i hope you dont mind I'm putting this here, where most of the attention seems to be. Sorry if that's wrong. There's been an absolute ton of info added recently and in ref to that, can I mention that part of the Braid was actually designated Village Green status in 2009, after a heated legal debate when Northumberland Estates submitted plans to build a supermarket on the area known as Braid Hill. The link to NCC info is here: http://www3.northumberland.gov.uk/Councillor/Upload/CDocs/1049_M257.doc. So to be clear, Braid Hill and a small section of the Braid is not VIllage Green, the rest is. Also, the Village Green designated part of the Braid lies in Warkworth Parish and they have legal jurisdiction over it. ~~AnnaAtTheAmbler~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnaAtTheAmbler ( talk • contribs) 15:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
There is also a (not for profit) community portal called www.amblecommunity.co.uk which is in the process of collating contact details of all the various community and voluntary groups in the town - maybe that should appear on the external links page. I always thought that the one of the purposes of Wikipedia was to be a source of information and reference. NorthEast65 ( talk) 19:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
1. What are you going on about - speak English! 2. What gives you the right to arbitrate what is allowed on a page or not? Do you come from Amble or know anything about the town? 3. I have no intention of adding anything to the page now or ever. 4. The Amble page is a mess now after all the alterations to it 5. What is the harm in having external links to The Ambler and amblenorthumberland? United2013 ( talk) 20:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

Can anyone convert {{ River Coquet settlements}} into a navbox? I think that the template may have been created before navboxes were available but, really, this should be one and it should be situated either vertically below the infobox or - better - at the bottom of the page with the other horizontal navboxes. I've just fixed the alpha-order of the the template but don't know how to take it further. -- 2.219.231.166 ( talk) 14:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
The section has some interesting information, but I wonder if it might be better to call the section 'History' or 'Town History'. I think a section called 'Town' should be more contemporary. Any thoughts?-- Jcvamp ( talk) 17:18, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
In the section entitled Present Day, the first paragraph should be moved to the history section. It is a quote from Pevsner who died in 1983. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.125.244 ( talk) 09:35, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Also to my knowledge there is only one telecommunication company (BT exchange) on the industrial estate. There are a wide variety of businesses on there and a children's nursery. If mention is made of this, I wonder whether Queen Street should not be mentioned as being the main shopping street. Though of course this may be deemed trivial.
I also seen references that suggest gas first came to the town around the 1870s, although gas lighting of the streets did not occur until the 1910s. Electricity appears to have been introduced in the early 1900s, as also were the poles of the National Telephone Company.-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 10:00, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I have just removed the Development Trust stuff. I did copyedit it a few days ago, when it appears now to have been a literal copy-paste from the Trust website. Even after my copyedit, it is still a very close paraphrase and thus not acceptable. I have no qualms about something about this group appearing in the article but we have to use of own words etc. I still have some grave doubts about The Ambler and about some of the external links.-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 09:55, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
It seems that the marina development came about in the mid-1980s as a result of grant money being awarded. I'd really rather we didn't use The Ambler as a source for anything much in the article because it is clearly too involved & we do not usually cite advocacy groups for anything other than information about themselves. Are there are local news sources for this development? Eg: local BBC news websites, Alnwick or Newcastle etc newspapers?-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 10:35, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused about the Etymology section. A recent change by Mahagaja made Scottish Gaelic explicit in the text, though it didn't actually change the resultant link. Even so, the text goes on to say that Irish missionaries might have brought the name in - so would that really be Scottish Gaelic that we should refer to, or the Irish flavour? I've reverted for now but just to draw attention to this, not as a hostile act! I'd be very interested to see what people think and I am tb-ing and have pinged (pung?) Mahagaja.

In my 40+ years in business (over 20 of them in business education), a business is defined as any organisation with an income and expenditure stream. I still do not see why the website cannot have a section as it is a useful and important new resource for Amble but we will have to agree to differ. 86.184.222.22 ( talk) 18:54, 19 January 2013 (UTC)

I have added external links for both the Ambler and amblenorthumberland - NOW this fracas can be put to rest! — Preceding unsigned comment added by United2013 ( talk • contribs) 09:51, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
PLEASE STOP WARRING - ITS NOT WORTH IT! Take the links down if they are going to cause so much trouble! Wish I'd never bothered now. The amblenorthumberland website is a local tourism website and its entire aim is to promote and help aid the regeneration of the town. If it is not 'worthy' of a mention on Wikipedia then so be it! BTW funny how when I was adding links I was edit-warring but when 2.219.231.166 does it its called 'reversion'!! — Preceding unsigned comment added by United2013 ( talk • contribs) 10:22, 20 January 2013 (UTC) Sorry forgot to sign my last post - naughty me!

2.219.231.166, you've made a lot of good contributions to the page. You said that a link to The Ambler website is in violation of WP:V (I don't understand how) and WP:ELNO item 19. Is linking to the website possible and if so, in what way, or should it be left out? Also, the Amble Tourist Information site was taken off. On what basis? In regards to the AmbleNorthumberland site, while I don't think it's worthy of inclusion in the body of the article, it does provide information which could merit its inclusion in the External Links.
I think it would be useful to discuss what links should and shouldn't be in the article and come to an agreement before any further editing of links takes place. Everybody can have their say, policy can be quoted for specific links, and links can be considered on their own merit. -- Jcvamp ( talk) 13:55, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
I'm a novice on here and because the talk page sections no longer match the actual page, i hope you dont mind I'm putting this here, where most of the attention seems to be. Sorry if that's wrong. There's been an absolute ton of info added recently and in ref to that, can I mention that part of the Braid was actually designated Village Green status in 2009, after a heated legal debate when Northumberland Estates submitted plans to build a supermarket on the area known as Braid Hill. The link to NCC info is here: http://www3.northumberland.gov.uk/Councillor/Upload/CDocs/1049_M257.doc. So to be clear, Braid Hill and a small section of the Braid is not VIllage Green, the rest is. Also, the Village Green designated part of the Braid lies in Warkworth Parish and they have legal jurisdiction over it. ~~AnnaAtTheAmbler~~ — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnaAtTheAmbler ( talk • contribs) 15:52, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
There is also a (not for profit) community portal called www.amblecommunity.co.uk which is in the process of collating contact details of all the various community and voluntary groups in the town - maybe that should appear on the external links page. I always thought that the one of the purposes of Wikipedia was to be a source of information and reference. NorthEast65 ( talk) 19:57, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
1. What are you going on about - speak English! 2. What gives you the right to arbitrate what is allowed on a page or not? Do you come from Amble or know anything about the town? 3. I have no intention of adding anything to the page now or ever. 4. The Amble page is a mess now after all the alterations to it 5. What is the harm in having external links to The Ambler and amblenorthumberland? United2013 ( talk) 20:41, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
How dare you! The two accounts you mention are held by different people but at least we don't hide behind a random number like you do - what the hell is socking anyway? — Preceding

Can anyone convert {{ River Coquet settlements}} into a navbox? I think that the template may have been created before navboxes were available but, really, this should be one and it should be situated either vertically below the infobox or - better - at the bottom of the page with the other horizontal navboxes. I've just fixed the alpha-order of the the template but don't know how to take it further. -- 2.219.231.166 ( talk) 14:02, 20 January 2013 (UTC)
The section has some interesting information, but I wonder if it might be better to call the section 'History' or 'Town History'. I think a section called 'Town' should be more contemporary. Any thoughts?-- Jcvamp ( talk) 17:18, 21 January 2013 (UTC)
In the section entitled Present Day, the first paragraph should be moved to the history section. It is a quote from Pevsner who died in 1983. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.114.125.244 ( talk) 09:35, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
Also to my knowledge there is only one telecommunication company (BT exchange) on the industrial estate. There are a wide variety of businesses on there and a children's nursery. If mention is made of this, I wonder whether Queen Street should not be mentioned as being the main shopping street. Though of course this may be deemed trivial.
I also seen references that suggest gas first came to the town around the 1870s, although gas lighting of the streets did not occur until the 1910s. Electricity appears to have been introduced in the early 1900s, as also were the poles of the National Telephone Company.-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 10:00, 22 January 2013 (UTC)

I have just removed the Development Trust stuff. I did copyedit it a few days ago, when it appears now to have been a literal copy-paste from the Trust website. Even after my copyedit, it is still a very close paraphrase and thus not acceptable. I have no qualms about something about this group appearing in the article but we have to use of own words etc. I still have some grave doubts about The Ambler and about some of the external links.-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 09:55, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
It seems that the marina development came about in the mid-1980s as a result of grant money being awarded. I'd really rather we didn't use The Ambler as a source for anything much in the article because it is clearly too involved & we do not usually cite advocacy groups for anything other than information about themselves. Are there are local news sources for this development? Eg: local BBC news websites, Alnwick or Newcastle etc newspapers?-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 10:35, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
[ [3]] could be useful as a source.-- Jcvamp ( talk) 21:14, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
The words 'The civil parish, which has town status,' have a citation needed tag next to them. What exactly does it mean to have town status? -- Jcvamp ( talk) 01:14, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
In the History section there could be mention of the bronze age artifacts discovered along the dunes. http://www.keystothepast.info/durhamcc/K2P.nsf/K2PDetail?readform&PRN=N12984 -- CosmicWildernessWarrior ( talk) 14:09, 23 January 2013 (UTC)
Just reading through the above - can someone clarify, is user 176.253.179.215 the same person as user 2.219.231.166? -- AnnaAtTheAmbler ( talk) 11:56, 25 January 2013 (UTC)
Hauxley also appears in sources as Auxley, Hawksley etc, presumably being archaic spellings. Are these the same place as Low Hauxley?-- 176.253.179.215 ( talk) 12:01, 24 January 2013 (UTC)

I'm a bit confused about the Etymology section. A recent change by Mahagaja made Scottish Gaelic explicit in the text, though it didn't actually change the resultant link. Even so, the text goes on to say that Irish missionaries might have brought the name in - so would that really be Scottish Gaelic that we should refer to, or the Irish flavour? I've reverted for now but just to draw attention to this, not as a hostile act! I'd be very interested to see what people think and I am tb-ing and have pinged (pung?) Mahagaja.
