Okay, I will make straightforward copyedits as I go. Please revert if I accidentally change the meaning. I will jot queries below. Casliber (talk · contribs) 08:45, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

• Any explanation of the original derivation of the name?

• I've expanded one and added another - but these are very rarely clear cut

• Agree, but some speculation is nice :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

• The first three paras of the History section are a little stubby/slim, so any extra info here would be most welcome. For instance (as there is no article on the fire) are there any details about how/why the fire came about? How much of a centre for clothmaking was it? for the West Country/south of England/England etc.

• Added some bits

• Better, still would be nice with more but looking better now. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

• Theoretically, are all the Wellingtons around the world derived (indirectly) from here?

• I think so but I don't think I'd ever find a reliable source which stated this categorically

• Never mind then. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

• In the 20th century closer links with Taunton meant that many of the residents of Wellington commuted there for work, and the M5 motorway enabled car journeys to be made more easily - this reads a little vague. Be nice to expand this a little, some dates and figures etc.

• I've added dates for M5

• Para 2 of Governance section - be nice to add if historically the town is left- or right-leaning (if available)

• Not sure on this one

• Rockwell Green is a formerly-independent village to the west of the town and while there is a green wedge of land in between them...... "what?" I think you left something out after the last bit.

• Reworded

• There are Local Nature Reserves at Wellington Basins.. -anything special about them? i.e. why are they reserves?

• Expanded with descriptions & species etc

• Nice. Casliber (talk · contribs) 21:35, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

• Any idea where the influx in the Demography section came from? London? nearby villages? Also any information on demographic makeup?

• Not sure at present

• Para 1 of Economy section is awry - should put historical info first before 2009 developments. Also, as it is historically important is there other info to add. Any other notable companies or other clothmaking factoids to go here?

• The info is about Fox Brothers Mill (1770s) with the modern bit added - moving the dragons den stuff to the end would separate info re cloth making

• Be nice to flesh out the transport section a little. Any other road info to add?

• added A38, but I've not got anything else at present.— Rod ^talk 16:48, 6 June 2010 (UTC)

Anyway, that's it for starters. Be back later. :) Casliber (talk · contribs) 14:11, 6 June 2010 (UTC)
