Talk:Wideopen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
I know some miserable NPOV-minded Wikipedian will want to emasculate this article. Please don't - we need more like this. I wrote that before I saw all the false links - needs an heavy re-write. -- RHaworth 09:37, 2005 Jun 22 (UTC)

The last change, which added "or Wide Open", i.e. suggesting the estate can be spelt with a space, is incorrect. The estate is correctly called Wideopen, although it suffers from some schizophrenia, as even some local signposts, presumably commissioned by North Tyneside council, point the way to Wide Open. However, this is incorrect. As to the content, perhaps it could be left as it is for a while. I personally don't find it offensive, and it even appears to be accurate, as long as the simple facts of the article are considered. I doubt it will even be viewed, let alone cause offence, and of course it can easily be changed by an offendee. -- 194.9.188.22 11:50, 2005 Jun 22 (BST)
- Hello. I'm afraid my knowledge of the area is limited, and perhaps you could help add some factual information? The JPS 11:01, 22 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Sure. It's 5 miles North of Newcastle city centre. It's a former mining village, it has a pub that few would deny is a toilet, and a church that is undeniably box-like. There is a parade of small shops, which is amusingly signposted by a fairly new sign that reads "Local Shops" (for local people). It borders on the villages of Seaton Burn, Brunswick Village and Hazlerigg. It is bordered on the west side by the A1 bypass, and on the east by the pit heap from the former mine. -- 194.9.188.22 12:13, 2005 Jun 22 (BST)
