[edit] Oldest relics

I have removed "with the oldest relics being aged at around 300,000 years old" from the article as I don't believe it can be true. I thought civilisation began around 6,000 years ago, so this claim seems unlikely. If I am wrong then can someone put it back in, please, but with a source. --JimmyTheWig 09:55, 19 December 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Railway misinformation

Briefly, contrary to present content of the article: (first sta OK and moved to become Surbiton), next line came from Twickenham and either terminated at Hampton Wick or made it to a low level terminus roughly at present station site (with Hampton Wick built lest the burghers of Kingston's opposition to having a station in the town prevailed). After a few years line was extended via high level station through Norbiton to join the South West Main Line. HL and LL stations rebuilt as one c 1935 by Southern Railway. Article needs correction with sources.--SilasW (talk) 16:27, 21 July 2010 (UTC)

[edit] Almost two articles on the subject

They may protest that "Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames" and "Kingston upon Thames" are by nobility and notability different and deserve separate articles but those two articles are not in synch. This reads (or read) like a municipal blurb for the place.--SilasW (talk) 09:07, 13 September 2010 (UTC)
