The link to BarnesSW13 is a bit funny - the link shows the site is monitoring the use of the link. Is this against wikipedia policy, is it considered advertising? Jfr26 22:47, 13 May 2006 (UTC)
I think it should be against policy if it isn't already.. The barnes-online site isn't exactly relevant either. Despite the name, there's very little that's Barnes-specific on it - it seems to be mainly about Richmond-upon-Thames / the Richmond Park constituency and the council. Also, not sure the negative section on North Barnes at the top deserves so much prominence.. What do others think?—The preceding unsigned comment was added by 82.45.22.123 ( talk • contribs).
Have deleted the following:
The pub is noted for the very poor service and a very rude bar manager.

That's not vandalism - it is a statement of fact and therefore is to remain. —Preceding

Am increasingly concerned about that growing list of notable residents. Several issues at stake here, including lack of references, for one, and non-encyclopedic, for another. Feedback, anyone? -- Technopat ( talk) 09:53, 2 August 2008 (UTC)
Looking forward to feedback on this one.-- Technopat ( talk) 18:35, 23 March 2009 (UTC)
Have removed the following un-encyclopaedic list - even if it were referenced, am not sure it should be included:
Notable residents
Well-known people who have lived in Barnes include:
- Chris Patten, the last UK Governor of Hong Kong, who was present along with the Prince of Wales at the handover to the People's Republic of China in 1997 is officially Baron Patten of Barnes, having chosen his place of residence as the basis for his title. He is currently the patron of the Tory Reform Group and Chancellor of Newcastle University and Oxford University.

Is the inclusion of Zac Goldsmith's candidature justified? It's hard to see what is notable about this: he is not a politician of note, not is the parliamentary seat of any particular electoral significance, for example as a key marginal. It smacks slightly of the possibility that someone has added it with the aim of giving publicity to or promoting Mr Goldsmith's candidature.
MJCHA ( talk) 08:20, 17 January 2009 (UTC)
Agreed, it is not justified. Goldsmith is of no relevance to Barnes per se, and of marginal relevance to the wider constituency since he has not run for election. But I've restored Baron Patten of Barnes to the "political representation" section since he is the local peer, and therefore has a stronger connection to the place than simply living there as do the other "famous residents".
