The article was flagged as having a potential conflict of interest, however there was no indication as to what may have been causing the problem. I can only assume that this was due to the link out to the Save Pentney website. I have now removed this link. -- PentneySam ( talk) 22:12, 26 January 2009 (UTC)
Yep. Main problem is that it's largely a text dump from [1]. I know the material was donated, but that doesn't give it any special status, especially as it's from a personal website and completely unsourced. It's also way too folksy and promotional: "Returning to the village, you're greeted by the friendly sight of the church of St Mary Magdalene ... recently a small community of foreign workers have joined the happy family of villagers".

Not sure what's needed here. Can a mod or an admin please help me by suggesting where citations and sources are needed? Thanks PentneySam ( talk) 17:10, 27 February 2009 (UTC)
The requests for improvement of sourcing having been ignored, time for cleanup. Material below needs sourcing. Gordonofcartoon ( talk) 18:30, 1 January 2010 (UTC)
If the first element of the place name is celtic it is NOT pen. It is more likely to be a river name Pante derived from pant (a hollow).Oxford dictionary of British place names - A.D. Mills 2003 edition. Can I also point out that (Kings)Lynn is a Celtic name as is the Ouse. Creake (North and South). As are the first elements in Wereham and Brancaster. In short Celtic names are not as rare in Norfolk as you might think. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.22.66.153 ( talk) 15:40, 25 April 2011 (UTC)
Does this section have a purpose? The tone and content seems very political to me. I feel it should be removed -- Ironimp ( talk) 22:16, 22 January 2012 (UTC)
In the introductory paragraph it is stated that Pentney is part of North Norfolk non-metropolitan district. In the Governance section King's Lynn and West Norfolk District is given. Which one is correct? -- Oldontarian ( talk) 07:06, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
