"Burnley Football Club" and the "Burnley F.C." on the list in "The Football League" article need to go to the same place.(Their website is reached via Burnleyfootballclub.com though like all league clubs it hijacks to a premiumtv.co.uk site demanding registration...when an article's written,better to have fan site links also).
- I've fixed this by changing the link in this article to [[Burnley F.C.|Burnley Football Club]]. When the actual article is written at Burnley F.C. it would be worth a redirect being set up at Burnley Football Club. But of course that can't be done until there is an article to redirect to! -- sannse 15:31, 27 Sep 2003 (UTC)
To class Burnley a 'recieving a lot of attention in recent years for race riots and racial tensions' is exaggerated and an insulting simplification of the town's situation. I do not claim to have added great detail in my changes but hope that this article can be abridged and enhanced in a more intelligent and less senstionalist tone.
- Added links to all of the high schools to start creating pages for them, just wondering if it is worth doing so as the schools will all be going??? (in about 5 months) --Childzy 14:49, 22 February 2006 (UTC)
Burnley having the better of the football in the post war years? you gotta be kidding
- I've changed Burnley to Blackburn. It true you know! :)
Just a comment that the super school theory is not unique to Burnley. Nelson is also going through a similar process with school demolition already underway.
[edit] recent revert
- There are more polite ways of phrasing things than "Try reading the wikipedia articles next time you tool before deleting this section where you will find evidence of such recording locations!".
- Read Wikipedia:Reliable sources.
- I removed the section because it had no place in an encyclopaedia article.

- it does give futher information about the town and after all the aim is to enhance the readers knowledge, wjhich i feel it does.--Childzy 08:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
- Barely. We could include a list of every street in the town, which would enhance the reader's knowledge, but it doesn't mean it would make for a good article. If you look at featured articles such as Bath and Sheffield then they don't have sections like that. The fact that someone decided to shoot part of a TV series there once doesn't really tell you anything about the place. It might be worth mentioning if it was frequently used as a location for filming, such as Holmfirth, but not just a list of shows that have shot a few scenes there. --Cherry blossom tree 09:13, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
ok good point we'll just leave it off--Childzy 10:56, 4 June 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Burnley Web
I added the site but was told I had to do it via discusion, apologies for that. My site is a non-profit community discussion forum for Burnley, Padiham and Pendle so I feel it is relevant to the town, especially if Burnley Football Club is on here which is paid organisation.
The site is www.burnleyweb.com
Many thanks.
[edit] Famous Citizens/Photos
I'm probably slightly guilty but anyone with more experience of wikipedia willing to make the list a seperate page with just a bit of prose? Also get in touch with Neal at that BurnleyWeb site for some photos of Burnley.
