Savacentre

Savacentre (For that, dear Wikipedians, is what it is and forever will be known as) - the largest Sainsburys in the UK? Are you sure? Anecdotally the Wimbledon (Colliers Wood) one is bigger... 79.69.130.13 (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyvio

This page has just been reverted (which I have reversed) for a copyvio without explanation. Perhaps the offending parts could be pointed out so that a proper rewrite/removal can happen without destroying quite a bit of good article. --Regan123 00:33, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The history section was copied from http://www.sydenham.org.uk/ and http://www.sydenham.org.uk/history.html, and the owner of the website complained (OTRS ticket #2007012710001442). Wikipedia's policy for dealing with copyvios is to revert to the last pre-copyvio version, or to delete the page if there is no version that is not a copyvio. --Carnildo 01:47, 28 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I am the author of the original work. I am sorry Wikipedia has chosen to remove the version that appeared here. As part of my commitment to the community it is free for use by non-commercial organisations such as Wikipedia (see terms of use on our website). However Wikipedia granted it a GNU licence and will not publish without one. This breaks the original copyright/attribution conditions. I feed my family by selling my work to commercial organisations so I hope you will understand. Especially as the reason I found this was because of commercial exploitation of this work by others. Hopefully one day that Wikipedia may revise its policy so I can contribute directly myself. Best wishes - Stuart - PS Regan I would be delighted to discuss this further in our Forum.

Bob Monkhouse

This entry claims Bob Monkhouse was "born and bred in Mayow Road". This contradicts the Wikipedia entry for Bob Monkhouse which says he was born in Beckenham. There has been a discussion which favours the Beckenham claim on the basis that it is given in the Dictionary of National Biography. The discussion is here: http://sydenham.org.uk/forum/viewtopic.php?t=2039

Also you may wish to add an entry for http://sydenham.tv (note I am the author).

Bill Wyman

Penge claims Bill Wyman (and backs the claim with a reference). Bebofpenge (talk) 10:27, 5 May 2009 (UTC)[reply]

I believe the Sydenham reference is taken from his auto-biography. - Wyman, Bill (1990). Stone Alone. Viking. p. 41. ISBN 0-670-82894-7. User:jm6852 —Preceding undated comment added 12:21, 7 May 2009 (UTC).[reply]

Sydenham is the main area of Sydenham which the Sydenham Road or Sydenham High Street by locals and is the main shopping area.

This does not make sense.
