Does the linked article on the person count as a reference? I reckon it does, and am inclined to restore this information to the Halifax article. Mr Barndoor (talk) 13:40, 28 April 2011 (UTC)

No - as wiki cannot be used as a reference and the linked article can be changed to remove the association to the place without anyone realising it is used as an indirect reference. Each entry in this article should have a reliable source added to show the association of the person to the place. Keith D (talk) 20:16, 9 May 2011 (UTC)

Ditto, the following was removed from Hebden Bridge but could also be used:

You should get out more. It would save Wikipedia from your absurd deletions. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 78.145.33.4 (talk) 09:27, 23 November 2010 (UTC)

Geoff Crowther

I've removed this for the moment, as there is no indication of what his link to Calderdale is, and I can't find any appropriate reference. If you can, then please feel free to add him back.

• Geoff Crowther (born 1944), head of BIT travel guides, London (1972-1977) one of the first guidebooks to cover the Hippie trail. Geoff became an internationally recognised patron saint of travellers in the third world and went on to be one of the pioneering authors for Lonely Planet (1977-1995).
