"much exposed to the incursions of pirates" - land pirates? Totnesmartin 21:25, 3 January 2007 (UTC)
Editors using several anonymous IP accounts have attempted to insert the following (or similar) text to the page : "In 1993 N.W.A. re-formed to perform a small concert in what was the old liberal club of Crediton; they performed a reworking of their song Straight Outta Compton entitled Straight Outta Kirton. There has been some recent debate about the validity of claiming this as a true NWA performance, as not all members were present. Several photographs of the event are visible in the cd insert from the single Chin Check and one is also featured in the cd insert from The Best of N.W.A. - The Strength of Street Knowledge." This appears to be a hoax, a student "joke". Despite requests, no independent verification has been provided, and the user(s) have persistently reverted attempts to delete this text. Ghmyrtle 11:55, 5 November 2007 (UTC)
this is b.s. Its possible 1 or 2 members performed there, I guess, but definitely not the group. Anyway, why would they be in England? And why is this relevant to the article? If there WAS a concert it definitely wasn't the whole group, (since Eazy and Dre never made up while Eazy was alive) so what would make this event special? 64.105.35.230 ( talk) 04:39, 30 May 2008 (UTC)
What makes the event noteworthy and worthy of the article, is the performance of the never released song straight of outa khirton. Despite repeated citing of documentary and photographic evidence, Ghymyrtle refuses to acknowledge the event took place. One questions whether he has taken the time to check the aforementioned references, or merely brand as a student 'joke', despite attempted validation from many 'editors'. Does this laugh in the face of the founding priciples of wikipedia. May I suggest other 'corrections' of Ghmyrtle be clarified, as I feel we have yet another rogue moderators ignoring facts, either through idiocy or blind ignorance. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 151.170.240.10 ( talk • contribs)
I'm trying to put this to rest by various enquiries - will be back when I can give a definitive referenced answer. In the meantime claims not properly referenced will continue to be reverted. You've got to admit the story seems "unlikely", to put it mildly, and therefore needs unarguable proof. Ghmyrtle ( talk) 08:34, 13 June 2008 (UTC)
Checked CD inserts, and have established this is unlikely event did infact happen. Who knew? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.12.244.67 ( talk) 23:34, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
I've been led here by this edit to Compton Castle, which is demonstrably untrue. It is certain that the sale of a National Trust property to a rapper from California would make a few headlines, but there's no mention in the two online refs provided, and neither Google nor UK NewsBank searches provide any other sources. Shortly after making that edit, the same IP added the book citations that have been discussed here. Adding this to the existing evidence above convinces me: I'm removing the hoax from the article. — SMALL JIM 14:30, 21 June 2008 (UTC)
On the whole completely uncited and unreferenced. "Perhaps it was at this time that the prescriptive borough of Crediton arose" - Perhaps?? How is that historical fact? In addition, I think it is important to question some of the 'accepted' 'history' presented as fact here. Did Cromwell really visit? Provide a year. Did King Charles I really pass through and to what purpose. Given the role of Exeter during the Civil Wars, what importance would Crediton have served? These are more valid questions and this section needs to be expanded if it is to be of any use. There's too much acceptance of the Boniface legend as truth too, and the article again includes such striking words as 'maybe' and 'perhaps' which show that any true history contained within is somewhat vague. As such, I have tagged areas needing reference and citation. 82.32.194.76 ( talk) 11:43, 15 June 2008 (UTC)
I presume these are either alternative names for Crediton, or historical names. But it would be nice if this were pointed out, rather than just dumped in the opening paragraph without explanation. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.100.31.136 ( talk) 22:18, 18 December 2010 (UTC)
I came here looking for information on the industry that led to Crediton's importance prior to the 20th century. This is unfortunately lacking; does anyone have the necessary reference work to fill this gap? Afterbrunel ( talk) 18:39, 14 April 2014 (UTC)
"The Exeter to Plymouth railway of the LSWR needs to be reopened to connect Cornwall and Plymouth to the section of line from Okehampton via Crediton and Exeter with the rest of the UK railway system on an all weather basis."
Just wanted to say that the above is solely the opinion of the author. Should be revised to say "It would be nice if..." but that's all "needs to be reopened" amounts to at the moment and is pretty unlikely to happen anytime soon however desirable.
