Disagreement on Christchurch article re:settlement definition

There is a dispute at the article for Christchurch, Dorset over whether, how, and in how much detail, the article should cover Bournemouth Airport – a major employer which was in the now defunct borough of Christchurch, but some distance outside the built-up area in a neighbouring parish. This is essentially a difference of opinion on how to handle the ambiguity around defining settlements. If you think you can help resolve this, join the discussion at Talk:Christchurch,_Dorset#Bournemouth_airport. Thanks, Joe D (t) 10:38, 3 April 2022‎ (UTC)[reply]

Draft article on Ealing Village – feedback welcome

Hi all! I'm working on a new draft article for Ealing Village, a 1930s residential estate in Ealing, West London. The article covers the architectural style, historical significance, and cultural context. I'm looking for feedback, sources, or a possible review to help move it forward toward approval.

Here's the draft: Draft:Ealing Village

Any input or assistance would be really appreciated. Thanks! BBISCAGLIA (talk) 19:37, 2 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The "Curious Fact" section needs reworking - it's not up to us to decide which facts our readers should find curious or interesting (there's an "interestingly" in the prose that needs to go for the same reason). See MOS:EDITORIAL for more info on this kind of thing. Waggers TALK 12:08, 3 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you, really helpful feedback. BBISCAGLIA (talk) 19:27, 7 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It was rejected as not reliable sources. Use google books as there is plenty of sources to use (https://www.google.com/search?client=ms-android-samsung-ss&sca_esv=2db17c2fd44c4b31&q=%22ealing%20village%22&udm=36&source=lnms&fbs=ABzOT_CpGl4iTifXrR0wiRhoFvN4ucjihRMGt7LDzXo2tAb-UlYdMCSNoSi4jF22RofPbGhvPDtoJRbPmmStofN5a-a06parKg5M8nlnNWXEo1cm3bEVcfl4K_kzRguJfgOzllAjnK2X5RfdJtQ-mtR15L24MalhTD1hoLmFV98oRxdR2m4bAvYR_t0mBPDvBUeLwNaMPHBnWF4lqhlEix8YdktjK6ZrNarMiqsup1u_uvDmvWcrbRc&sa=X&ved=2ahUKEwiKqZLpmryMAxUwQ0EAHYeyO6gQ0pQJegQIfRAB).
