Okay, I'll jot queries here (I had to review this as I stayed in the YHA here in 1991 :)): Casliber (talk · contribs) 03:34, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

I'd change "The name Street comes from a 12th century causeway..." to "Its name comes from a 12th century causeway..." and append it onto the first few sentences, which look odd just sitting there in an ugly miniparagraph

Done

Why is Lantokay bolded and Lega not? Also the bit abour Roman occupation sits odly tacked onto the end of that sentence.

Lantokay is a redirect to this article. Lega goes to a dab page where I have added an entry as an earlier name for Street.

In fact, that's where I'd break for a new para, taking the Roman bit and making a para on history.

Done

"...suggests a lan "- can we link somewhere?

Hhmm - can't find anything suitable - it means field in Romanian but I haven't got anything else apart from the cited ref which says it comes from Welsh.

now linked & expansion/explanation included.— Rod ^talk 11:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

blue lias is capitalised in one bit and not the other

Done

The churchyard of the Parish Church has yielded a pre-Roman gold coin... - preRoman? wow! Any further info on this? I think it sounds pretty significant...

Gathercole says "one iron age coin has been found, though the precise significance of this is unclear." but it is known the Dobunni made coins in the area so I have added that.

The Governance section has stubby paras - some reworking would be good. Extra info could be famous parliamentarians, whether both/either bodies are left- or right-wing leaning, controversies/disputes etc.

I've combined paras but can't find anything "famous" at present

Added councillors & MP (almost all Liberal Democrat).— Rod ^talk 17:36, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

very first beacon school in Somerset - a what? Link or explain...also this section could be combined into one para really.

wikilinked

The only cinema in Street was closed down and converted into a nightclub in the 1990s. - umm, Strode Theatre sounds like a cinema to me..?

Only "single use" cinema added

Religious sites section is stubby. I realise alot went into the history section instead. Anything else to add would be good, even just a couple of lines...

Nothing else at present.

I've expanded this a bit.— Rod ^talk 12:00, 2 September 2010 (UTC)

Summary - as always, looking pretty good. Just some minor buffing and she'll be right mate :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 04:14, 2 September 2010 (UTC)
