Photo of Mann Page[edit]

Is that an accurate Photo? Does not look right. Also why are "2.1 Guinea" and "2.2 Daffodils" Subitems of Item 2 "Notable residents"?

Merge suggestion[edit]

From the help desk (May 13):

Hi, I just suggested a merge between a hardly visited pages and it's counterpart. It is obvious that Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia should be moved to Gloucester County, Virginia, because they are talking about the same place. I feel that next to no-one will view it, so could some of you review it? Thanks. --Kkrouni 19:08, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I would advise against a merge. Gloucester Courthouse, Virginia is about a city (pop. 2,000+) in Gloucester County, Virginia (pop. 30,000+), not the same thing. While the city article could use a human touch and some non-demographics content (almost all editors have been bots) it is still significantly different than the county.

To both of you, gentlemen: See WP:MM for the details of merging process. Note that discussion must be held at article's talkpage (not here). Wide participation is not necessary for the decision: the current policy edition allows "10 days of silence" as a reason for merging. Oh, and thank you for discussing possibly controversial issue preliminary. Ukrained 19:25, 13 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Additional discussion:
  • I would also not recommend a merge. There is precedent to keep verifiable articles on geographical locations no matter how small and the idea they're on the same subject is an erronous one. One is about a town/city, the other is a county. - Mgm|(talk) 09:24, 14 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Agree with discussion against a merge - the two jurisdictions are different.

Edit for tone[edit]

Much of the article sounds as if it was taken from marketing material, and needs to be edited to be encyclopedic in tone. Parkwells (talk) 16:25, 23 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]
