I don't think that "...a defintive degeneration from Evesham High students..." is either the sort of comment expected of an encyclopedia or a good use of English. And that's aside from the aroma of trivial point-scoring.
Since someone seems determined to bring in subjective comparisons of PH & EH results I've looked up the recent league tables and contrary to what keeps being posted - that EH now outperforms PH academically - the tables show that on all three measures (GCSE, Value Added and A/AS) that the opposite is true.

The edits by an unregistered user (or possibly users) who keep stating in direct contradiction of the facts that Evesham High School outperforms Prince Henry's academically continue (they have also introduced other factual errors recently). Despite adding comments to the section asking anyone wishing to post such a view to visit this page, enter into discussion and provide their evidence they have not done so and the latest edit on the subject was just pure vandalism. As a result I suggest we lock the page against unregistered user edits for a few days and see if this vandal goes away. Jjasi 13:36, 9 January 2007 (UTC)
This article still has no citations (for a long time now) and those tagged mentions may be deleted. I haven't edited anything, as to do so would cut it down to a stub. Please see the Worcestershire project banner above to enlist some help in improving this article. -- Kudpung ( talk) 19:25, 29 May 2009 (UTC)
I have now done some basic rewriting. The original article was written in good faith, but has been tagged for lack of required information. and lack of encyclopedic tone. This is in no way intended as a criticism, and should be regarded as flagging of areas that need attention, failing which, the article may have to be cut significantly. Worcestershire Wikipedians may be able to help improve this article. -- Kudpung ( talk) 04:55, 13 June 2009 (UTC)
Evesham is an important town in Worcestershire. The article needs seriously bringing up to Wikipedia standards. If no contributors can help, this will generally involve a rewrite by a project editor, retaining only the information that can be reliably sourced according to Wikipedia policy. If you have local knowledge that can be reliably sourced and verified, please go ahead and improve the article. Do remember to add a summary to any edits.-- Kudpung ( talk) 12:53, 29 July 2009 (UTC)
Text and/or other creative content from Evesham Arts Centre was copied or moved into Evesham#Arts Centre with this edit. The former page's history now serves to provide attribution for that content in the latter page, and it must not be deleted as long as the latter page exists. |
I've merged in the Arts Centre article, and left a redirect there. There are three reference URLs from the original article, placed as hidden comments. If they are useful, please add them to the text here. GyroMagician ( talk) 17:35, 25 January 2010 (UTC)
I'm pretty sure Evesham has a regular farmers market. Does anyone have any details? It seems relevant, in a market-gardening region. I'd like to add a subsection under culture, if it exists. GyroMagician ( talk) 02:34, 21 February 2010 (UTC)
I have removed this from the list of notable people. Firstly, it's a band and not person. Secondly the this glamrock/metal revival band had no notable success with their music and disbnded already in 1989. Finally, none of the group members continued to make music in any known bands or to make a solo career. The cited website was made by a former fan, and has been since taken down.

Should any of the cited pages be down or no longer avalabe, this PDF on the Worcs CC site contains the full town profile: http://worcestershire.whub.org.uk/cms/pdf/Evesham_Town_Profile.pdf -- Kudpung ( talk) 21:57, 26 September 2010 (UTC)
So is the Regal open now? From the website it looks like it's up-and-running, but I didn't see an opening announcement, so I'm not sure. GyroMagician ( talk) 10:29, 27 September 2010 (UTC)
All it needs is some info on demographics, some local political history (without of course a tedeitous list of every town councillor), a compass, and a short section on transport. I'll ask Wotnow if he can do the honours with the refs, and Nev1 if he can give it a once-over. in the menartime I'll run the link check tool. Otherwise, the prose is more or less OK, the references look sufficient in quantity, and all the other GAC criteria seem to have been met. It's length is appropriate for one of the smaller towns in the county. Arguably it could do with a couple of pics more, but that's not a prrequisite for GA. and if nothing suitable is available for free use at Geograph, there's not much we can do about it .--

Thanks Nev, that was an excellent review. First school is the term given to primary schools in LEAs that have adopted the three tier system of First school, Middle School, and High School. The Governance seection is being worke on offline and I have a rough draft already but it's very short. A lot has been written about the regal Cinema, the websites need going over again to find the first opening date or year. Flood list ranking needs a source. Evesham is a civil parish - like Malvern, it calls itself a Town Council, but is in fact a parish as the Worcs County Council and Wychavon District sites will show.-- Kudpung ( talk) 07:17, 7 October 2010 (UTC)
