I'm not absolutely certain about this, so haven't put it in the article, but isn't Corby the largest place in Britain without a mainline railway station, now that Mansfield has one? Loganberry 03:37, 11 May 2005 (UTC)
Umm... I'm going to need some help fixing all the links from Corby to Corby (town) Any help would be greatly appreciated! Thanks in advance! Flcelloguy 17:32, 27 May 2005 (UTC)
I'm not sure this justfies being moved for the sake of some actress whose second name is Corby, I would of thought this was a pretty sound case for "primary disambiguation". Besides Corby (town) is completely wrong. G-Man 20:55, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Not the biggest town without a station?
Fancy QI getting something wrong! -- Smjg 15:20, 1 December 2005 (UTC)
Not so fast! Corby is the biggest separate urban area without a railway station.

[edit] car for speed record?
"Ford Cosworth" is not a car, anyone know what car this is talking about? Cosworth is an engine manufacturer which made engines which were badged as ford until 2004. I presume this should be a Ford Cosworth-engined champ car, NASCAR or somesuch? Spute 09:57, 8 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Regarding edit by 82.70.160.238
I'm sorry, but I really don't think that deleting large sections of an article like that is justified, even if the article wasn't written from a NPOV. I have reverted the article to its previous state, and marked it as disputed. I would clear this up myself, but I know nothing about Corby and so can't be any help.

I've rewritten and expanded the article in a (hopefully) more encyclopedic way. I've also removed the POV tag since I think the status of 'disputed neutrality' isn't justified for the fairly minor POV transgressions. I won't mind if someone decides to put the POV tag back.

As a Corby resident, I found some of JimScotland's edits quite incendiary and unneccesary. The edit made by 82.70.160.238 seemed much more balanced. The re-edit by Duncan Keith is better than both - though I have made a few spelling and grammatical fixes. 82.69.206.201
Well, I'm glad that's all cleared up now! TheSTtalk 21:38, 20 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Edit by 193.115.70.42
The IP 193.115.70.42 resolves to Trillium Estates Ltd, a part of the Land Securities group... Duncan Keith 17:31, 28 December 2005 (UTC)
[edit] Footnotes / Inline Links
A while ago I changed the inline links on this page to footnotes. Duncan Keith has just pointed me to the relevant guidelines, and since I didn't previously realise that I should have sought consensus first I'd like to leave it open for discussion now. I personally think that things are more organised with a References section at the end of the article; does anyone object to leaving things as they currently are?
