March 2007[edit]

18,000 isn't actually that big for a council estate. Secretlondon 22:14, 27 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

There's only a couple bigger than Seacroft. Don't know where it falls exactly, but would bet that it's in the top 10. Epa101 17:30, 26 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Map[edit]

Often when the page loads up, the map doesn't appear, does anyone know why this is, to my knowledge it only happens on this page. Mtaylor848 (talk) 21:51, 18 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Removed second location grid

It load OK for me, could be a browser problem with the cache. Keith D (talk) 00:49, 19 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

GA Review[edit]

This review is transcluded from Talk:Seacroft/GA1. The edit link for this section can be used to add comments to the review.

This article does not meet the good article criteria and has too many issues. It has therefore failed its nomination. Issues include but are not limited to:

  • This article needs more inline citations. A lot of information is unreferenced, so we cannot verify it.
    • "Satellite Town Within The City Boundary" has no references
    • Same with "Seacroft Civic Centre"
    • And "Architecture"
    • Along with "David Young Community Academy"
    • The "Gallery" section is unnecessary, and more appropriate for the Wikimedia Commons.

Questions and comments placed on this page will receive responses. Once these issues have been resolved, feel free to renominate the article. Thanks! Gary King (talk) 23:37, 28 December 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Gallery[edit]

I think a gallery is a useful place for pages in progress to put pictures which may be incorporated into a more finished page. However there is no use for some of the extremely poor images on this and other Leeds pages. Images should be of sufficient quality in their own right and should actually illustrate something. Dark pictures of a rainy street taken from a moving vehicle are not useful.Chemical Engineer (talk) 23:48, 17 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Can I suggest that a Seacroft category be created on Commons to group all of the images together and then a commons link added to this page. Then any images not suitable can be removed and still be accessible. The Leeds category on Commons is rather large and could do with some subdividing. Keith D (talk) 01:01, 18 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Actually I think rain sets a suitable scene for Seacroft, perhaps some fork lightening accross the pictures aswell.Mtaylor848 (talk) 21:31, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have started a Seacroft category in Commons as well as a Roundhay one, as both have far more pictures then can be put on the main page alone.Mtaylor848 (talk) 21:04, 28 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Main Picture[edit]

Would anyone have any objection if I were to revert the main picture to the previous one, being a horizontal photograph it lessens the size of the info box, improving the layout of the page. Mtaylor848 (talk) 19:11, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

The previous picture is of poor quality. The present one has been shaped to show The Green.Chemical Engineer (talk) 12:25, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I have uploaded to Wikimedia Commons File:SeacroftTheGreen.jpg which is horizontal in aspect. Chemical Engineer (talk) 12:34, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I would have to disagree regading the picture quality, it seems to me somewhat unnecesary to show so much of the green, after all its only grass, personally I prefer the original, however I think it should be put to further litigation before a final decision is made. Perhaps this would intrest User:Whohe! who uploaded the original image. I think a general discussion ought to be had before we settle on an image. I would say that the main photograph should be of the green however. Mtaylor848 (talk) 00:50, 1 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]

As mentioned above, a picture of the Green showing less of the Green is available on Wikimedia Commons. I am happy to go with a general consensus, though I was trying to illustrate the large area of grass (which is its characteristic feature) rather than the buildings.Chemical Engineer (talk) 19:29, 1 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Renomination of Seacroft for GA status[edit]

There remains some areas of the page to tidy up, inparticularly the layout, with large gaps inbetween text. Some of the sections could also be fleshed out as well. Once this is done, Seacroft should be resubmitted. Mtaylor848 (talk) 21:42, 23 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I have removed some unnecessary blank lines. However the layout, (particularly white spaces) varies with your browser and the size of screen. Chemical Engineer (talk) 15:10, 24 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
I think that the references need addressing first before a second GA nomination as that was the main reason for failure at the previous nomination. The layout of the images can wait until the text has been made ready though I do think that the images are causing particular layout problems as it stands.

Reputation[edit]

It seems to me that this section contains too many comments probably based on experience rather than properly cited, and does not reflect variations across the area. It needs to be properly NPOV for Good Article.Chemical Engineer (talk) 14:19, 19 September 2010 (UTC)[reply]
