Wartime bombings

This section currently covers WWI in some detail. It would be helpful to add information on WWII bomb damage. - Fayenatic (talk) 12:50, 19 July 2011 (UTC)Reply

I have set the ball rolling with mention of the borough's civilian losses from enemy action recorded by the Commonwealth War Graves Commission.Cloptonson (talk) 22:47, 29 July 2017 (UTC)Reply

Orphaned references in Poplar, London

edit

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Poplar, London's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT 20:26, 5 May 2018 (UTC)Reply
