I find the article somewhat POV in presenting the town as unpleasant. It's really no worse that many other towns. -- [[User:Daran|Daran]] 13:50, 22 Oct 2003 (UTC) |

Slough (pronounced "slew") is a swamp, marsh, or shallow lake system in eastern and southeastern United States. In western U.S., a slough is a secondary channel of a river delta. In Southern California, a slough is a narrow, shallow salt-water marsh that may or may not be flushed by the tides.
The above seems like a dictionary def to me - what's its purpose exactly? Martin 15:44, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
- Disambiguation I guess? Probably since the UK Slough isn't the only slough in the world, there should be some "see also" type of indication of that. And it could serve as a stub for a possible future article on the ecology of sloughs. Marj 18:05, 21 Sep 2003 (UTC)
Why start with the temporary bureaucratic notion of the "unitary authority"? The town predates and will outlast it, and is what everyone but local councillors think of when they hear 'Slough'. -- Hotlorp 10:36, 8 Oct 2003 (UTC)
