Removal[edit]

Removed the following which I think has no place in this entry, which should be an objective summary, and not an advertisement for the village's few commercial ventures.

Additionally, "Raise the Roof" is *not* a "notable event". It's a temporary activity designed to raise funds for a specific objective, not an established village tradition.

"The village features public houses (The Mexborough Arms and The Fox Inn) Post Office Quix (Village shop) the Beehive @ thorner, a restaurant, formerly The Beehive pub Parish Church Victory Hall Bowling green Cricket and Football pitches

Notable events include the Raise the Roof campaign held in order to raise funds to replace the roof of the Victory Hall. The campaign comprises many events annually of which the two most noticeable are the Beer Festival and the Festival of Comedy - recent acts have included internationally renowned comedians such as Alan Carr and Rich Hall."—Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.137.80.168 (talk • contribs)

I don't see what isn't objective about mentioning the features of the village. Larger articles about towns and cities would mention specific buildings which is exactly what this is doing - I am not entirely sure why you have interpreted it as an advertisement. If you care to look at any similar article for the other villages in the area then you will find that most of them mention by name the public houses and features. 88.109.239.21 (talk) 18:48, 9 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]
