Why was it shown as 21k? What does the 'whole of the built up area' mean?
Using Ward boundaries i used the following lower Super Output Areas to find a pupulation of 13k in dataset :
Census 2001 reports 13k.

Congratulations to User:195.194.86.1 for spotting that the official animal of Burnham is not the tree frog and removing the fact and accompanying citation. This "fact" has been in Wikipedia for a very long time, introduced as a joke, and the addition of a true fact, properly cited that nearby Brent Knoll was call the Isle of Frog, lent the spurious claim some credibility. The tree frog incident is a prefect illustration, if one is needed, that there is an awful lot of crap in Wikipedia and that you should not take all you read here as fact. Of course, the very last thing I'm ever going to confess is involvement in this incident ;-) -- TimTay ( talk) 12:23, 11 March 2008 (UTC)
burnham-on-sea.com is a site about Burnham that contains some useful information, but it fails on WP:ELNO on the first criteria. It is also, in my opinion, listed to get advertising click-links for the person who hosts the site. If it is an official site for the town then it wouldn't need large amounts of banner advertising. It doesn't belong on wikipedia, it is spam. Discuss. -- Simple Bob ( talk) 21:36, 20 August 2009 (UTC)
I've been editing this article to try to bring it closer to the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES and would be interested in what other editors think is need to get it to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria? Obviously we need to revise the lead to summarise the article & reference (or remove) the uncited claims, but is there anything else which would be required?— Rod talk 08:15, 3 May 2010 (UTC)

I ask this question because it is stated:
This year the Spray Jam has been incorporated into BOSfest which will also include music, poetry and street entertainment.
but this does not make clear which year! The year concerned will I am sure entail a rewrite in past tense. Cloptonson ( talk) 13:36, 12 November 2021 (UTC)
