Talk:Copthorne, West Sussex

Untitled

Whilst most amusing, the additional information about the "Honey Slap Festival" really out to reside in some other more fictional domain... Rather than scrap it completely (incase anyone wishes to submit it for the Booker Prize) I have stored it here.

It is also thought that a Copthorner may be addressed this title due to the fact that in summer, the annual "Honey Slap Festival" is held, where male villagers strip naked on the green and wrestle in warm honey. Last year's (2006) champion was the famed Craig "Miggy" Marchant, who beat off rival Yellowbelly Sanjit Patel, the local Greengrocer.

Unreferenced

I was asked why I tagged this article as unreferenced. There is not one citation in the entire article. It does need citations, especially in the history section. - hmwithtalk 03:50, 11 May 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:StorySF.jpg

Image:StorySF.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

Boxing Audience

Among the 10 000 spectators was The Prince Regent, Tsar Alexander I of Russia, and Lord Byron.

I removed the above fact as it has been flagged as uncited for a couple of years. Whilst I found a few sources for the boxing match none mentioned anyone in the audience. Even if a source was found, I would still question the notability of a celebrity attending a boxing match. ++ MortimerCat (talk) 02:37, 18 March 2009 (UTC)
