POV edits[edit]

I removed "... excellent vegetarian..." etc as that is subjective - too POV. Also, I'm not sure we should list the range of cuisines because it is the same as most comparable events and is not really encyclopedic information. Just my view. 01:53, 15 Dec 2004 (UTC)

Name…[edit]

Should we move this to Fairport's Cropredy Convention? The name changed when the new management took over (IIRC) and is now in use on the official website. HTH HAND —Phil | Talk 08:52, 14 August 2006 (UTC) I think we should aswell. --Eddie ^{(talk/contribs)} 12:10, 22 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

2007 schedule - Wishbone Ash and the Strawbs have swapped around[edit]

Wishbone Ash can't make the "hooligan spot" on Saturday and have swapped with the Strawbs - see the news page (2007-04-28) of Fairport's site for details. 81.174.241.81 14:32, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Length of the schedules after 2007[edit]

I think that there is way too many schedules on this page, and possibly have it own pages rather than having a long list on the main page. --Eddie ^{(talk/contribs)} 18:59, 2 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]

History[edit]

I have added a boader history to the article. A lot more could be said, but in the context of wikipedia it might be odd to have this article giving immense details of every year.--Sabrebd (talk) 15:31, 16 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

More on schedules[edit]

The majority of appearances lists were moved to Fairport's_Cropredy_Convention_Appearances over a year ago. So, to keep the list to a reasonable length in this article, I've moved 2006 to the other page as well. It's something we could doevryy year to leave just three here at any one time.

I notice an IP editor has added the 2010 line-up. In past years we have waited til the event has actually taken place before displaying the list. After all, this is an encyclopedia not a crystal ball or an advertising medium for the festival. I have remarked-out the listing so that it can be reinstated in August. Andy F (talk) 19:46, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Its a good policy. We can add it in when the performances have actually occured.--SabreBD (talk) 20:18, 28 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK, guys, appearances 2007 are now moved to Fairport's_Cropredy_Convention_Appearances. Appearances for 2010 are in this article (slightly corrected today). Andy F (talk) 08:13, 26 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]
