Is it the role of Wikipedia to reproduce Conservative Party election material, and to act as the party's agent in the Crewe by-election? This article certainly looks as if that's its function! 86.149.20.78 ( talk) 07:50, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
Why is the "campaign themes" section here rather than at Crewe and Nantwich by-election, 2008? Seems to me it would be far more appropriate there, as it's not really about Timpson as such. SNALWIBMA ( talk - contribs ) 12:40, 6 May 2008 (UTC)
User:Snalwibma is perhaps right about the Times report - Labour's "Class War" approach is a theme of theirs not of Timpson's. But the Yorkshire Post report is a key theme of Timpson's and surely belongs here. NBeale ( talk) 08:25, 12 May 2008 (UTC)
I have used a citation template to reference the by-election result, but I realised afterwards that the other references in the article use a different style. Does anyone here have a preference over which style is used? Road Wizard ( talk) 08:42, 24 May 2008 (UTC)
There is no need to quote Timpson about what effect having foster siblings made to his life - this is clearly not a major part of a short biography. And quoting him makes the whole piece sound like an election broadcast! I have taken that part out and left the reference to the foster children without the unnecessary detail.—Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.72.181.139 ( talk • contribs) 00:39, 19 June 2008 (UTC)
Can someone put an internal link to wikis article on Timpson the retailer aswell as keeping the external link to Timpsons website? Does anybody think this worthwhile? The Timpson article is not much to look at now but it may improve in time. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 93.96.128.58 ( talk) 12:30, 8 August 2009 (UTC)
