Margymarge is intending to put some local history related items in this article, including some info on the Snotterstone. I am hoping to persuade a Banks fisherman and local history expert to provide much of the information I refer to. He also happens to be the shrimper pictured in the article. Margymarge. 4th Sept 2009.
Reply: Please write more infomation about our village onto this page, but it has to be true and make as many references as you can. I will personally check/edit what you have wrote. I was intending to make a section on the Snotterstone myself soon, but if you get to it first then that's fine with me. If you do contribute then let me advise you on making a seperate section intitled 'Scotterstone'. If you could also upload a picture of the stone, plus other pitures of the village(bootsale, shops, roads, Banks marsh etc).I look forward to your contribution.-- 93gregsonl2 ( talk) 23:46, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

I would like this atricle to be GA Status on Wikipedia. Also it would be one of the first GA articles that are under the scope of WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria. If you don't know what that means please look at the this link: GA Status. In order for this article to become GA, the article needs to be of a good quality. Look at these examples of UK Geography articles that are GA: Crawley, Shewsbury.
In order for this article to become GA these things need to be done:
Useful Guidelines: How to write about settlements
If these things are done then I will nominate this article for GA and this would be the first GA article in the area. Thanks. 93gregsonl2 ( talk) 19:58, 23 September 2009 (UTC) woohoo lets go for it and get banks on the map for good with a GA status! I will look into some more pics just tell me where and what and i will get them! Also i will look into the Greaves Hall part as it is my speciality! Bankhallbretherton ( talk) 21:24, 11 October 2009 (UTC)
Yeah I am working on citations but they are very hard to find. I get most of the infomation from books. Will that be OK for citations? 93gregsonl2 ( talk) 21:34, 11 October 2009 (UTC)

Have a read of the peer review on Lostock Hall - Wikipedia:Peer review/Lostock Hall/archive1. In the words of the reviewer it's a way off GA staus yet, and I think it's probably a better article (in terms of GA ness) at the moment than this one. I think setting yourself a deadine for submission of this weekend might be a mistake. Better to concentrate on getting the article up to scratch than going for an artifical deadline and failing. NtheP ( talk) 09:39, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
I would like a 'deadline' as just to get things moving as I would like this article to GA as then I can move on to anouther place like Tarleton. 93gregsonl2 ( talk) 17:42, 14 October 2009 (UTC)
Suggestions
Following on from the Lostock Hall Peer Review
1) Weather data - as this is for Blackpool which is a distance away I'd sugest leaving the table out as being too inaccurate/non specific to the target location.
2) Check the copyright status of all images. I see that the aerial view is claimed as pd-self by 93gregsonl2. Is that definitely the case? I'm not doubting anyone's veracity (Actually I'm really envious that 93gregsonl2 can get aerial views like that :-) ) but bearing in mind what's happened on Lostock Hall this needs to be spot on and aerial photopgraphy isn't that common so if anythijng is likely to be questioned, that is.
