A disambiguation page might be necessary: Congleton is both a town and a borough. (Added on 21:24, July 6, 2005 by User:82.36.232.110)
I am pretty sure the actual rhyme, or atleast another rhyme(seemingly the main rhyme) Not the rubbish that is on the wiki page now....and the 1 the council uses on its informational boards.
Is...
"Congleton rare, Congleton rare, Sold the Town Bible to buy a new bear."
Apart from on a council informational board within congleton, this can also be found on www.econgleton.co.uk.
So if some one wants to change it...or add both.?

Adding Gerry Tobin to the Notable Residents section is not really appropriate. If one reads WP:NN, especially WP:NN#Notability is not temporary, one sees the following sentences:
Wikinews, not Wikipedia, is better suited to present topics receiving a short burst of present news coverage. Thus, this guideline properly considers the long-term written coverage of persons and events. In particular, a short burst of present news coverage about a topic does not necessarily constitute objective evidence of long-term notability. Conversely, if long-term coverage has been sufficiently demonstrated, there is no need to show continual coverage or interest.
Similarly, WP:NOT#Wikipedia is not an indiscriminate collection of information has, as point 5, the following sentences:
News reports. Wikipedia properly considers the long-term historical notability of persons and events, keeping in mind the harm our work might cause. The fact that someone or something has been in the news for a brief period of time does not automatically justify an encyclopedia article. While Wikipedia strives to be comprehensive, the policies on biographies of living persons and neutral point of view should lead us to contextualize events appropriately.Timely news articles, however, are welcome on our sister project Wikinews.
It also contains the following footnote:
The briefer the appearance of a subject in the news, the lower the likelihood of creating an acceptably comprehensive encyclopedic biography. In order to help keep articles concise, efficient, and on-topic (and to help reduce privacy concerns), editors are invited to consider whether, in a particular article, the names of specific individuals could be redacted without the loss of non-trivial information or necessary clarity. Even when news events themselves merit an encyclopedia article of their own, additional biographies of person(s) involved may not be necessary, for instance, where they largely duplicate relevant information.
Consequently, I am kindly asking User:82.2.152.193 to refrain from adding this information a third time, after it has been removed on two occasions. DDStretch (talk) 17:38, 22 August 2007 (UTC)
Congleton fly tying club is almost certainly an inappropriate link per WP:EXTERNAL. The web page linked to advertises "popular speaker evenings" with a secondary page listing the charges for these evenings. It's hard to see what this link achieves other than to promote the organisation in question and thereby gain them new members and therefore revenue, which seems to fall foul of WP:ADV.
The Congleton Choral Society website doesn't meet any of the criteria for inclusion at WP:ELYES or WP:ELMAYBE. The main purpose of the site seems to be to promote the groups services, which they charge for. There's a big ad right in the centre of it charging 12 pounds for concert, an ad at the side of that advertising a singing day which costs 18 quid and to the left there's an ad for music for hire. Seems a classic case of WP:SPAM to me and I struggle to see what it tells the reader about the subject of the article, which is Congleton. Valenciano ( talk) 21:24, 6 May 2012 (UTC)
Useful literature reference- True knowledge. Can any one give a reference to the OE: Yongleton claim my by ip-user. All googles seem to point to previous removed wikitext. Any ideas? We still have unsupported claimsd about Bug-town and Tin-town I suspect this factoid stems from this era. If true it may be possible to work it into the Toponymy- can anyone find a non circular reference. -- ClemRutter ( talk) 16:09, 12 June 2012 (UTC)

The Notable people are listed in three sections in alphabetical order. In the edit area and hidden from view is a request that they remain in Alpha order. And there is a comment (by me), also hidden. May I open this issue up for discussion?
Do people have views - Apha order or Date order?
