Hi

I made changes to this page without adding references. I have been studying the Chiswick Rate books from 1874 to 1905 and I am not sure if the information comes from there or somewhere else. The historic parishes are mentioned in this article. Some of the estates are listed here https://brentfordandchiswicklhs.org.uk/ Some are listed in Glimpses of Chiswick Development, William P Roe and some are listed in Chiswick Past, Gillian Clegg, ISBN0-948667-33-8.

Hi, and welcome. I'm not sure what your point is? You obviously can't add materials from unstated sources, and nor should anyone else. If there are wrongly-cited materials in the article, then of course the sources should be added, or the material removed. Feel free to cite any of the sources you have named. It would be a big help if you could copy the citation style already in use in the article. If we're using a book repeatedly (like Clegg) then it should be listed at the end in Sources, and linked to that using the "{{sfn|Clegg|1995|p=123–125}}" template (example page range shown).

Good article criteria[edit]

Chiswick was list was listed in 2015 Geography and places good articles under the good article criteria (see top of page). Looking at it now, some of the images fail GA criteria, mentioned in How to write about settlements:

Text should not be sandwiched between two adjacent images. (GA criteria)
Images need succinct captions. (GA criteria)

There are also images that are in the articles they link to: Memorial to Richard Tayler, Portrait of the poet Ugo Foscolo, Peter Brooke, The spire of St Michael and All Angels. Removing these will help getting the images on the right avoiding MOS:SANDWICH.

likewise those needing succinct captions and a good caption explains why a picture belongs in an article MOS:CAP

Oldest part of Chiswick: - most of this text belongs in the article.
Memorial to Richard... - Most of the text should be in the picture's main article.

There is more, but hopefully you see my point.

Finally I don't see any need for Entomologists in Gunnersbury Triangle, it does not add anything to the article on Chiswick. If the article is cleaned up it shouldn't need WP:GAR. Sciencefish (talk) 11:30, 29 December 2020 (UTC)[reply]
