Middle Class ?![edit]

There are no "middle class" boroughs in London. You can live next door to a millionaire on one side and an unemployed person recieving benefits on your other side. This ancient antiquated notion of classes doesn't have any meaning in London. There are no middle class or upper class or even lower class boroughs. You should remove this. It doesn't add to the article in any way at all either. 90.255.182.191 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 01:59, 22 December 2017 (UTC)[reply]

So you mean to tell me Chelsea & Kensington is the same as Tower Hamlets? Kaleidoscopic God (talk) 22:01, 11 March 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Pronunciation not correct[edit]

I grew up in Ruislip Manor. Everyone I knew pronounced it "Rize-lip". Lorenzowood 16:45, 28 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't know about that - also grew up in Ruislip Manor but "rice-lip" is how I've always heard and said it. Keyoti (talk) 21:57, 13 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Possibly depends how posh you are. In South Ruislip, it was always rice-lip. Emeraude (talk) 11:22, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Mills, the source cited in the article, gives both as current pronunciation. p.196: "The local pronunciation of Ruislip is either 'Rizelip' or 'Ryeslip'". MRSC (talk) 19:35, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Layout and sections[edit]

Please note WP:UKTOWNS for a guide to layout and sections. MRSC (talk) 19:12, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The encyclopaedia also has some general guidance for what not to include and which external links are good. The WP:UKTOWNS is the best guidance for writing about settlements. WikiProject London has guidance specifically for London articles and there is a manual of style for page formatting.

In respect of lists of shops, this is not included in even our most developed articles. A broad summary of the kinds of shops would normally be included in the economy section (WP:UKTOWNS has more details). MRSC (talk) 16:53, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for the reply, i have looked at the economy section of the information that you supplied but it does no say what i added is acceptable or not - Can you give me a bit more of a clue of where the guidelines stating that the information i added is acceptable or not? Thanks msa1701 (talk) 17:04, 11 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

The economy section (which is the section that includes includes retail and shops) should be a summary. A note on major employment sectors. A note on major employers. - so this would include a very brief summary of the kind of employers and only identify each individually if they are significant. The industry and commerce (optional section) goes on to suggest A note on notable shopping centres (of regional or national notability). Clearly individual shops part of chains found on every high street are not notable, and even shopping centres are not automatically considered notable. Here is an example of a suburban locality with a well developed article, the relevant sections do not mention any shops by name, and only mention shopping centres in passing: Romford#Economic_development and Romford#Economy.

Copyright violation: Ruislip Woods[edit]

The section entitled Ruislip Woods is a copyright violation. Although it has been attributed to [1] no attempt has been made to paraphrase it. It needs to be removed from the article or edited to comply with copyright violation policy. MRSC (talk) 20:46, 9 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review - on hold pending improvements[edit]

I have begun a review of this article here, with expert assistance from User:Nikkimaria. As it stands, the article is well sourced, and well written, but could benefit from some tidying up. There is also a quite heavy focus on the history, which it would be good to address. The review is therefore on hold, allowing seven days for the article to be improved before we make a final decision. If you want to discuss aspects of the review, please make comment on the review page. Thanks! Cucumber Mike (talk) 18:08, 5 December 2011 (UTC)[reply]

South Ruislip[edit]

Does this article include South Ruislip? And it it does, it should probably state that explicitly. MRSC (talk) 11:39, 31 January 2014 (UTC)[reply]
