Apostrophe

Does "Earls Court" have an apostrophe in it? --Christopher Denman 18:32, 22 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

No. I've checked maps and websites for businesses and attractions based there. It's "Earls Court" and not "Earl's Court". The page was recently moved to "Earl's Court" but I have reverted this change. Wolf of Fenric (talk) 20:17, 11 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Unreferenced and Original Research warnings

I was disappointed to see that this article had no references. I therefore posted the unreferenced template on the page automatically. However, I found the "History" section particularly troublesome. It currently seems as though someone walked through a section of Earl's Court, counted the number and types of vehicles that he or she saw, and wrote about the demographics of Earl's Court based on that assessment. Wikipedia articles should not be written that way. I may also add another warning to indicate that the language needs to be formalized. Dr. Submillimeter 20:25, 20 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

It is obvious you don't come from London or, indeed, Earls Court. Most of what is written on the article page is common knowledge. I know that is not regarded as an acceptable source, but it would be ludicrous to delete it. Otherwise you would have to go through other towns and cities doing the same thing because most of what appears on the New York page, for instance, is unattributed and probably unattributable. In the meantime I will try and locate some sources for you. It is good that we have standards on Wikipedia but I feel this sort of nit-picking is silly.

The history section has been improved now. User:Pingus the terrible 12:30, 7 May 2008

Not sure if this helps at all, but I've just helped my aunt who lives in Earl's Court Square set up a web-site about her neighbourhood - not sure how citeable the content is (new to wikipedia) but if anyone wants to use any parts of the content, the website concerned is www.ecsra.co.uk Jim6pearson (talk) 20:59, 5 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
