Whitstable Castle?
editShouldn't there be some mention of the Castle under Attractions and Landmarks? (http://www.whitstablecastle.co.uk/index.htm) I think some of the language of the article is a bit too reminiscent of a tourist brochure. And some irrelevance seems to have crept in. JMB196 (talk) —Preceding undated comment added 22:53, 13 March 2009 (UTC).
Known as the 'Pearl of Kent'
editI've removed this assertion because: (a) There is no citation for it. (b) I've lived there for 35 years and neither I nor anyone I know is aware of this epithet. PRL42 (talk) 07:06, 25 May 2010 (UTC)p
Taste Bud Travels, beer from here with that name, www.mlaidico.com . 35 years isn't that long a time-and besides this is an encyclopaedial article and not a study into your life... 86.181.170.77 (talk) 13:34, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
- I think you are misunderstanding the requirements for citations. The fact that neither I nor anyone I have asked in Whitstable has heard of the name is not, in itself, important. If the fact had been correctly cited my knowledge would make no difference. However, as there is no citation that supports the assertion it does not even need a reason to remove. I simply added some local knowledge to show that the removal was not simply pedantic or wiklawyering. The link you supplied does not currently exist. PRL42 (talk) 14:57, 19 March 2013 (UTC)
Whitstable Lido
editI have a clear memory as a child of two open-air swimming pools towards the Western end of Whitstable beach. The old swimming pool, with sloping sides, was disused at the time but the 'new' swimming pool was still in use in 1964. Does anyone have any authoritative information on these facilities that could be included in the history section? 109.170.138.46 (talk) 18:58, 6 October 2011 (UTC)

The history section is not in chronological order
editI don't know if it's normal, but events are not listed in chronological order, which is what I expect when I see a "History" section. The years jump all over the place, and I think it should be restructured so that the list is in some form of chronological order. RPI2026F1 (talk) 13:10, 8 October 2022 (UTC)
Jess Smith
editNot notable enough for the main article, but Jess Smith, better known as the smiling baby in the Teletubbie sun, also lives in Whitstable. https://www.dailystar.co.uk/tv/bbc-teletubbies-sun-baby-now-28580514 Jalwikip (talk) 16:42, 16 January 2024 (UTC)
