Attention needed

Large parts of the article amount to unverified opinion pieces, especially the sections headed

• Coquet High School
• The Skate Park
• The division between rich and poor

I have removed all of the non encylopedic stuff - anything that fits Wikipedia critieria can be added back from history. 81.132.91.140

Alnwick station?

In the section about railways it says that the railway 'runs via the nearby Alnmouth for Alnwick Station'. The station in Hipsburn is Alnmouth station, the station in Alnwick closed decades ago. Have I misunderstood this sentence or is it just wrong?--Jcvamp 17:19, 29 May 2007 (UTC)

Alnmouth station was officially renamed "Alnmouth for Alnwick", for some reason, a year or so back. AndrewMcQ 23:34, 30 May 2007 (UTC)

Oh, I didn't realise. That's kind of stupid. Thanks.--Jcvamp 18:30, 31 May 2007 (UTC)

Can I know why..

I cannot use the most part of the Alnwick district's towns pictures? I try to translate this articles into Italian, but i just create meagre pages, being not able to include some pictures of the village I'm speaking about. Anyone can find me a solution? --Fiertel91 (talk) 00:17, 16 July 2008 (UTC)

Friendliest Port

I'm going to alter the statement so it simply' says where it comes from. I believe the statement at the moment is raising questions rather than providing information which is what Wikipedia is about. We need to find a source to confirm exactly what Mauritania radioed to Amble, also I would doubt they would use the word 'kindliest' considering its not a word in the english language according to the Oxford English Dictionary. Furthermore the statement about Berwick being the last port in England is taking the statement out of context. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 195.38.67.211 (talk) 10:59, 25 April 2008 (UTC)

The ref to kindliest port & the telegram is stated in Tony Rylance & Paul Morrison's book: Amble the Friendliest Port: http://www.abebooks.co.uk/Amble-Friendliest-Port-Pictorial-History-Northumberland/8273187869/bd — Preceding unsigned comment added by AnnaAtTheAmbler (talk • contribs) 21:35, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Name

Citation is required for the assertion that Amble was known as Amble by the Sea until 1985. The Ordnance Survey still has the civil parish named Amble by the Sea Election Maps as does the Office for National Statistics Census 2001. It appears from trawling through the web that the parish council styles itself Amble Town Council, though I am unable to find any official documents to corroborate this. However, even if this is the case, it does not necessarily mean that the name has been officially changed. Skinsmoke (talk) 00:53, 28 January 2009 (UTC)

Notable Citizens

Samuel Johnson MBE included in this list - is he notable? Haven't removed as he might well be, but can't find anything on web about him. —Preceding unsigned comment added by J mcquillen (talk • contribs) 22:21, 11 November 2010 (UTC)

External Links

I've removed links to amblenorthumberland.co.uk made by account Amblenorthumberland - Wiki clearly states self promotion as no-no in its policy docs.

Yes I've seen this too. Removed the links again. How can you stop this from happening? 94.9.135.202 (talk) 22:31, 19 December 2012 (UTC) SacTF

I'm not sure - think the whole page needs a clean up - too many people putting links, not enough people contributing content. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 77.107.159.208 (talk) 08:56, 20 December 2012 (UTC)

Other interested parties have also added contributions to this page yet they are still there. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 31.51.233.159 (talk) 23:10, 29 December 2012 (UTC)

http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Amble&diff=prev&oldid=525846716 The above revision is by an interested party and "Wiki clearly states self promotion as no-no in its policy docs". — Preceding unsigned comment added by Amblenorthumberland (talk • contribs) 09:58, 30 December 2012 (UTC)

Sorry if I added too many links. Just learning. Bit concerned amblenorthumberland has added themselves in the Regeneration category, when they are a commercial business. Also they are not the website for Amble, adjectives notwithstanding.

Bit concerned that AnnaattheAmbler is also posting as an interested party (ie as the editor of the Ambler website/newspaper) and "Wiki clearly states self promotion as no-no in its policy docs". The Ambler is technically also a business as it has an income and expenditure stream (ie it takes advertising). I note the amblenorthumberland account has been blocked as a result.

Also if she had read the amblenorthumberland entry properly, they never stated it was the website for Amble but stated they were the website for #AmazingAmble which is their own campaign. Surely as both websites are for the good of the town there should be a spirit of co-operation between them instead of all this bitching and trouble-making. Very disappointing and it doesn't look good at all.
