Talk:Friends of Bank Hall

Research

"In late 2010 reference to the Legh Keck coat of arms (found above the main entrance of the hall) was found suggesting a much different example of the arms thought to be pre marriage to Elizabeth Atherton, which has been considered a major find for the group." I cannot make sense of this addition. It needs to be clarified?--J3Mrs (talk) 23:54, 20 November 2010 (UTC) What do you mean? a reference?

College plan

Hi Nev is it important to include why the Autism College pulled out or is it enough to simply state that they did? cheers JMRH6 (talk) 00:02, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

If a source could be provided explaining why Autism Initiatives pulled out that would be handy, but unfortunately the newspaper article didn't go quite that far, only saying "This disappointment was further compounded by the Autism Initiatives organisation, who had expressed an interest in taking over the building, pulled out at roughly the same time."

Ahh ok thanks very much for the advice, this is one thing that frustrates me is that I know so much information and i know when it happend and that its true, but seen as its not published i cant use it on here :( It can be a bit of a pain trying to find references to the information some times... Many thanks again JMRH6 (talk) 00:14, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

I can quite easily imagine the reason the charity backed out was the hall not winning Restoration, and having been involved with local history groups I know this kind of information can be tricky to source but unfortunately that's just how Wikipedia works. To be fair to readers, I think they can probably put two and two together and work out why the charity pulled out when the possibility of a £3+ million prize evaporated.

Well... the chariy pulled out due to the Hall not being restored in time for them to use it as a college as they had to move out of a property that they were leasing so they thought that the hall would be ready before then but due to it not winning the program, that delayed restoration, meaning that it wouldnt be ready for their deadline, so they pulled out and then the group searched for a new developer and Urban Splash were eventually selected. finding a reference for this is near impossible but it is documented in the Action Group Records and history and timeline maybe that could be used?

As they were never there, it seems unnecessary as Nev1 pointed out most readers can work out the obvious.--J3Mrs (talk) 12:21, 26 July 2011 (UTC)

Facebook page

To me, this is becoming ever less like an encyclopaedic article, and more like a community group Facebook page. Aside from the mass of uncited material - and many of the cited links don’t work - and the “POV” tone, there is so much trivia: the reopening of the potting shed/the requirement to keep dogs on short leads/family fun days and barbecues etc. There is also the COI issue - many (most?) of the edits are made by editors/IPs with clear links to the group. I’m proposing a severe trim of the content, but would be interested in other editors’ views. KJP1 (talk) 16:38, 11 November 2021 (UTC)
