Concern over sutability of a part of the article

I am concerned about this part of the article:

"Feltham may gain new infamy by featuring on the HARD-Fi album, Stars of CCTV. The song gives a lovely description of life in Feltham, with appropriate references to above-mentioned institution!!!! Lyrics of "Feltham is singing out" at [1]"

I don't feel that it is encyclopedic at all, so any suggestions on what to do? -- Maste r jamie 18:31, 1 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Needs a copyedit "due to ill-considered planning" is POV, there is loads more. I've cleaned some but it also needs more work. Mrsteviec 22:25, 27 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Urban District of Feltham

In the 1940's,1950's and early 60's Feltham was properly known as the Urban District of Feltham.

The railway station had the largest marshalling yards in Europe attached to it and was consequently a popular target for the Luftwaffe during WW2 —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 163.166.150.22 (talk • contribs) .

See Feltham Urban District (1894-1965). Mrsteviec 20:15, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Views of Feltham and "rap battles" mention

I have removed the mention of "rap battles" as a myth. I have lived in Feltham my entire life, for the past 20 years, and have never seen any sign of this, despite using the train station very often. In truth, the stereotypical views mentioned (that Feltham contains many typical of the "chav" culture) is very much true, and indeed such things fit Feltham perfectly. However, this particular item is, to my knowledge, false. If someone with greater personal knowledge and experience of Feltham than myself can provide any evidence to the contrary then of course it should be replaced.

None of this belongs in an encyclopedia, particularly as it is all POV and without citation. Mrsteviec 20:15, 1 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Neutral PoV is good...

... but the place is basically a s**t-hole!

The current redevelopment may prove to less horrid than that of 40 years ago, but unless the residents want to put the effort in to make it a good place to live it will soon revert. With demographic changes as evidenced by census information I fear that it is likely that community spirit and community cohesion will continue to decline.
