To the IP who keeps querying the derivation of the name and its spelling – please read our policy on verifiability. You cannot replace a published source with what appears to be your own opinion, especially when the source is of the highest available quality. It's true that Donn's map shows the place as "Street". That could stay in the article as evidence that the name had changed some time before then, but it is not appropriate to raise questions in the article about the derivation of the name unless you can cite a better source. I'll change that part back. Do you have a reference for the 1870 change back to "Strete"? (White's Gazetteer of 1878 still shows it as "Street" on pp. 163 & 165.)
Also regarding "Strete Sands": that's not shown on the 1:25,000 OS map, which clearly shows the place at the north end of Slapton Sands. So please provide a reliable source for that name. I'd suggest that even if you can, using the name that's shown on an OS map is more likely to be useful to a reader.
I'm sure we can work out a form of words that's agreeable to both of us, as long as you're prepared to accept WP's policies and guidelines. — SMALL JIM 18:31, 27 July 2015 (UTC)
Note: this is about the proposed merge of Strete Gate into this article.
The article Strete Gate should be kept as it is. There is a special template and a Category of Category:Areas of Outstanding Natural Beauty in England. It would be the same foolish decision f.ex. to merge all these National Register of Historic Places in Missouri by splitting them, and merging them into other existing "Places" or "Areas". All the AONB are officially registered, and take note:
Otherwise you have ask the same for the following as well:
The only thing that is clear, is that you (both) are (not necessarily) wrong and neither right. If you do not want to clarify the situation (by your own individual thought(s) and WP-actions), may it either be on heart/mind based decision(s), (or whatsoever) you may call it silly. If you like to integrate it (merging it), please do so. I do not want to be loosing my (creative) time in a useless way by argueing until midnight...LOL, 3 hours + past beyond. Make whatever with it (unless other partys may intervene) and if not merge as much, until death do us apart, however. But for those who WANT to understand, read this first !
To all PING & PONGS. May you do as you feel, and agree(L)ol. I made my opinion clear. I created the article; and even feel free to delete everything about it. I gave (as ID: Ian Dury (USER)) would say: HERZBLUT (@ wiktionary.org the expression does not exist in the en:version) is involved. And one last thing: Check this one (ID was concerned, so ;) ). Sincerely yours & best Regards: -- Gary Dee 01:50, 20 August 2015 (UTC)
Note: merge completed per consensus. — SMALL JIM 10:19, 28 August 2015 (UTC)
An unregistered editor keeps inserting a sentence stating that the beach is "recognised by Devon & Cornwall Constabulary as being a Public Sex Area", yet no citation is provided. I tried a google search using keywords, but the first 3 pages of results failed to produce any sources that support this statement, so I maintain that the statement should not remain in the article.
