Merge Cissbury with Cissbury Ring[edit]

There is really no good reason to have these two articles separate - they both discuss the same site. Simon Burchell (talk) 11:40, 12 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

No opinions for or against in two and a half years; I've merged the refs to Further reading, and redirected here. The other article had no in-line refs, and nothing worth rescuing. Simon Burchell (talk) 14:23, 12 October 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Split Flint mine section to Cissbury or Cissbury flint mines[edit]

Cissbury was redirected to Cissbury Ring with some material left behind. I have just brought over that material, and in doing so I note that the flint mines material now dominates the Cissbury Ring article, which is about a hill fort. Though the articles share a name and a location, they are about two separate subjects - flint mines and hill fort. I think it is possible to talk about disparate topics within the same article, though it is also possible to talk about them in two distinct articles. It's a judgement call. I have a preference for bringing related articles together where possible and appropriate, as often it is easier to understand, for example, the relevance of a minor station within an article on the whole railway line than when it's simply a stand alone article, though in this case the flint mines and the fort are not related, they simply occupy roughly the same space.

Sounds like a decent topic for a sub-article, with a briefer summary here in Cissbury Ring (which wouldn't be complete without it). Simon Burchell (talk) 10:36, 13 December 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Agree that the sub-article needs to be split out. Ideally, the cascade might look like this: mine -- neolithic mines -- neolithic mines in Britain -- neolithic flint mines in Britain -- Cissbury flint mines 121.223.18.36 (talk) 05:16, 15 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Free Festival[edit]

It would be nice to mention the free festivals held at CR, but this link is not really an RS. It also says the festival was in 1980 but I'm fairly sure I went to one there in 1981 too. Ericoides (talk) 19:10, 19 March 2017 (UTC)[reply]
