I don't see the point of having a weather box with hardly any information and a citation needed tag. Does anyone else? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 16:00, 7 June 2015 (UTC)
In regards to the climate section, the information on the highest UV index is not official and was added by a Weathereditor sock -- 2A02:C7F:C802:4000:F862:2F68:A3B6:CFA ( talk) 23:21, 28 July 2016 (UTC)
The explosives section includes two new factories were built alongside the River Swale in Faversham. River Swale is wikilinked, but to the river in Yorkshire. I am not sure if it should be linked to The Swale, or whether the factories were by Faversham Creek. Bob1960evens ( talk) 21:44, 16 June 2015 (UTC)

I'll start reading over the next few days and then begin to make comments. I am normally a slow reviewer - if that is likely to be a problem, please let me know as soon as possible. I tend to directly do copy-editing and minor improvements as I'm reading the article rather than list them here; if there is a lot of copy-editing to be done I may suggest getting a copy-editor (on the basis that a fresh set of eyes is helpful). Anything more significant than minor improvements I will raise here. I see the reviewer's role as collaborative and collegiate, so I welcome discussion regarding interpretation of the criteria.

For some time, the article has said that Faversham is 48 miles from London. Today, that was challenged, by somebody else saying it was 58 miles.
I've checked the article, and somewhat surprisingly (given this is supposed to be a good article) the 48 miles claim is unsourced. I've done a quick google for "London to Faversham as the crow flies" and I get this link which claims it is 45 miles straight, and 54 miles by car.
I don't know how reliable a source that is - can anybody do better? Ritchie333 (talk) (cont) 13:07, 30 March 2017 (UTC)

A group of us are looking to include additional information about the Faversham Society on this page (or we may create a new page). We have found 3 additional civic societies have pages on Wikipedia around so planned to follow this model - see for example Birmingham Civic Society. Secker.jane ( talk) 15:54, 13 October 2022 (UTC)
The Archaeology section is incomplete. It has a couple of specific discoveries listed. There should be a coherent set of the significant Archaeological Discoveries made. For example, uncovering the abbey and Roman Villa excavations by Philp in the 60s, the discovery of the high-status Anglo-Saxon (Jutish) Cemetry in the 19th century by the railway builders and brick makers. The Roman Burials found in the area. The uncovering of Davington manor. Evidence for neolithic, Bronze and Iron Age occupation. John27813kent ( talk) 17:40, 1 December 2022 (UTC)
A group of volunteers at the Faversham Society are working on improving the pages about the town and it's history, following training from Wikimedia in October 2022 and August 2023. Secker.jane ( talk) 15:12, 16 August 2023 (UTC)
