Underprecise[edit]

London Director code of LABurnum (360) was assigned. Can we do a bit better then 02 as the dialling code? 0208 360 and others will do for now. Rich Farmbrough 10:05, 5 May 2005 (UTC) Can anyone confirm what I've put. Rich Farmbrough 10:07, 5 May 2005 (UTC)[reply]

What are you on about? The one dialling code for the whole of London is 020. -- Smjg 13:40, 25 January 2006 (UTC)[reply]
OK exchange code then. Rich Farmbrough, 17:37 28 February 2007 (GMT).

Lat 51.63388893580029 specified to (about) a millionth of a millimetre? Rich Farmbrough, 17:37 28 February 2007 (GMT).

Famous people[edit]

Alfredo Campoli may have been a Winchmore Hillian. When he as an article, we'll check. Rich Farmbrough, 09:21 1 March 2007 (GMT).

Alfredo Campoli used to live in Eversley Park Road in the 1960s. Hair Commodore 17:13, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Another one who might be considered is LJK Setright, who was at Southgate County School in Winchmore Hill. Hair Commodore 16:58, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Boundaries[edit]

Winchmore Hill is bounded " [...] and in the north to Vicars Moor Lane and Houndsfield Road". Some mistake, surely? I have never come across a "Houndsfield Road" in N21 - only a "Houndsden Road". Furthermore, WH extends quite a bit further north than either of these - and I should know, having lived there for many years! Hair Commodore 17:09, 31 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I now understand the problem a little better. There is a confusion between Winchmore Hill as an electoral ward of Enfield Borough Council, and the N21 postal area. The former area in, I think, unnecessarily restrictive - it covers only about half the area of the latter! It seems to me that a little more care is needed with definitions. In the meantime I have fixed the error with the _electoral ward_ area definitions: as I said, "Houndsden", not "Houndsfield". Comments? Hair Commodore 17:17, 1 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]
