why isn't Spike Milligan mentioned here? The town is mentioned in the article on his tiny penis lmfao
I wouldn't put the word "seminal" in front of a description of a lesbian writer - "Radclyffe Hall (1880–1943), seminal lesbian writer." can we say something like "highly original and influential?" Itullis ( talk) 10:40, 9 September 2012 (UTC)
I have just arrived in my wiki travels at this corner of East Sussex/Kent borders. Having taken some steps to bring some "new" thinking to several towns in Kent (Dover, Maidstone, Ashford); and, since my home town is Hastings, I took a peek there. I have read a great deal lately about the fact that A Level students are copying piecemeal from WikiPedia for their submissions, so I was pretty horrified to find that the Hastings article was as bad and as naively produced as ever I could have imagined, I took it in hand. I guess that sounds pompous and it probably is! but the article was written in a way that it was obvious no checking of facts had ever been done. As it happened the article was noted as having no references (footnotes); there are now 33. It just read like a bad piece of Public Relations ...
As a member of the WikiProject Geography team I made mention in the talk page of Hastings of the need for contributors to look at Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/How to write about settlements - and the same thing occurs here, I'm afraid. There are some 13 headings which should be included, among which are:
We have to remember the readers - this talks more to locals. - and facts MUST be checked! Peter Shearan ( talk) 16:18, 17 March 2008 (UTC)
The article has this statement: The "Landgate" (the only surviving one of four original fortified entrances to Rye) dates from 1329 in the early years of the reign of King Edward III. It is still the only vehicular route into the medieval centre of Rye and is suitable only for light vehicles. In fact, I've been in Rye, and that Landgate isn't the only vehicular route into the medieval center. There are in fact five vehicular routes into the medieval center. This can be seen clearly on any map. I've edited the sentence to omit the "only vehicular route" claim. Cyberherbalist ( talk) 14:03, 20 April 2021 (UTC)

Does Rye hold formal "market town" status through Royal Charter to justify inclusion in Category:Market towns in East Sussex? The article is unclear. Thanks. p.r.newman ( talk) 12:52, 9 July 2012 (UTC)

I had never seen this word before, so I followed the link, which leads to an article on "bay." The article never uses the word "embayment" once. I looked the word up in a dictionary & found no distinction between "bay" and "embayment." I'm unsure whether to remove the link, change the word to "bay," add the word "bay" in parentheses, or edit the "bay" article to include the statement that "embayment" means the same thing.
Also, somebody's been vandalising the talk page with middle-school penis humor, but that's even more trivial. Lucy Kemnitzer ( talk) 16:43, 3 December 2021 (UTC)Lucy Kemnitzer
