It's been in the news today and attracting lots of ip vandalism. -- Jza84 | Talk 17:42, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
(ec)Protected. Utter cop-out. Where were you all on the day Steve Irwin died? What an advert for the encyclopeda anyone can edit. Mr Stephen ( talk) 17:57, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
I noticed that the article has been semi-protected again. Although there is still some vandalistic edits from anonymous editors, I don't think that we need to semi-protect the article any more, as there haven't been that many. If we find that the article is being vandalised many times per day (>10 or so), and by different IP addresses, then the article should be semi-protected. If it's only a couple per day, then it's probably unnecessary. Mike Peel ( talk) 11:14, 23 April 2008 (UTC)
Isn't the Transport section somewhat over detailed? What's the point of a whole paragraph about a bus service that was withdrawn two years ago? Richerman ( talk) 21:27, 17 April 2008 (UTC)
It may be worth getting in touch with the Saddleworth Historical Society, as they can probably suggest history books / documents about Denshaw.
Hope this helps. Mike Peel ( talk) 21:35, 17 April 2008 (UTC)

The news story has even spread to Pakistan! Mike Peel ( talk) 07:35, 19 April 2008 (UTC)
I have a reliable source that Denshaw has only a single shop. However, I'm reluctant to start an "Economy" section at this stage. Any thoughts on how to tackle this? -- Jza84 | Talk 17:21, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
I've tried the online sources I know of, but I'm struggling finding anything about Denshaw's name beyond that it is of Scandinavian origin. I think it's almost certainly derived from Dene (as in the "Danes") and Skog (as in modern "Shaw", a small wooded area). It's well known that the Danes held settlements in the area; Oldham and Sholver being of Old Norse origin too. Does anybody else know of a source? -- Jza84 | Talk 22:57, 18 April 2008 (UTC)
