Why would it have been transferred for US Military use in 1939 when it the USA did not enter the war until 1941?
It might be worth hiving off the Prison section as a new article, as there is rather a lot of detail in it (on those executed, particularly) for an article on the town in general. I note that a number of prisons have their own articles ( List_of_United_Kingdom_prisons). Dmvward 13:04, 30 August 2007 (UTC)
The tescos section is currently the subject of a minor edit war. As an outsider to that dispute, I offer the view that it is too long for the subject importance - the 2nd para in particular is entirely non-encyclopaedic. I move to remove altogether, and certainly to prune to half-length. Linuxlad 22:37, 24 April 2006 (UTC)
I'm willing to re-write that entire section, shorten it and ensure it contains facts rather than opinions. I was leery about completely re-writing the first para to remove the factual errors and inaccuracies so as to avoid arguments. I considered that a balance to the negative comments was warranted. LadyKayla 06:48, 25 April 2006 (UTC)
Interesting too, that it's very much a rerun (with the tree felling argument at its core) of the argument, again with Tesco, in Stroud in 1990. Linuxlad 20:41, 10 May 2006 (UTC)

The image File:Carey.jpg is used in this article under a claim of fair use, but it does not have an adequate explanation for why it meets the requirements for such images when used here.

I've been looking the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES and would be interested in what other editors think is need to get it to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria? Obviously we need to expand reference (or remove) the uncited claims, but is there anything else which would be required?— Rod talk 18:18, 14 February 2010 (UTC)
In the first part of the history section there is a link to Malet which is a disambiguation page. Presumably it should link to William Malet but could someone with access to the two books cited as references for this confirm?— Rod talk 19:48, 15 February 2010 (UTC)
I'm wondering whether Bowlish should be merged into this article. Its not really a separate place, and indeed the town entry sign at the head of this article is on the road before Bowlish. Dmvward ( talk) 17:25, 16 February 2010 (UTC)
There is a sentence in the lead which says "There is a local perception that the Shepton Mallet is in economic decline, although the District Council argues that this is not borne out by the figures. [1]" The reference is to a general front page of a web site rather than any specific figures & we don't seem to have any evidence for a perception of decline. Should this sentence be removed?— Rod talk 20:17, 16 February 2010 (UTC)

Maybe it would be worth adding a section about police services in Shepton Mallet including a photo of the new police station? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Rob4533 ( talk • contribs) 23:59, 16 February 2021 (UTC)
There was a project in 2010 where some shops on the high street were remodeled several times over the course of some weeks and occupied by current shopkeepers and their families who lived and operated the shops in period correct fashion for a week each in the 1870's, 1900's, 1930's, WW2, 1960's, and 1970's. The project drew considerable local interest and patronage of the shops, and presumably others that were already there.

Can someone check out the historical accuracy of this sentence:
In the late 14th and early 15th centuries, the population and economy were boosted by craftsmen and merchants arriving from France and the Low Countries, who were escaping wars and religious persecution.
Understanding the 14th century to be the 1300s and the early 15th century to be roughly cover the years 1400-1450, I doubt religious persecution played a part in immigration into England at that time. It was rather, I would have thought, the 16th century (1500-1600) England saw immigration from the Huguenot French and Walloons in the wake of the Reformation in France and the Spanish Netherlands.
