Clearly the population is wrong -that is for the ward with that name not the whole area

Waltham Forest, London not Essex

Leyton is in London, specifically in the London Borough of Waltham Forest. While historically it was part of Essex, it is important that the lede is simple, clear and not misleading / confusing. I have moved all the historically aspects to the second paragragh. Can we discuss edits that change this order, before just 'reverting to old wording'?

Oliver Close

There was a decision made to redirect the article Oliver Close (Estates) to Leyton. An editor has now deleted the redirect and written a stub about Oliver Close. Any concerns about this? I notice there's a link in this article to Oliver Close now, so maybe it's a good idea. -- Rob C (Alarob) 18:08, 9 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think this should even be in Wikipedia. It holds no significance as far as I'm concerned. It's just a small housing area in Leyton. The fact that it is built on a bronze age settlement isn't enough because I'm fairly sure _most_ buildings in London area built on or around historical settlements! --87.75.28.66 (talk) 16:56, 9 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Over the past 15 years

How can someone seriously put this in an article? It is a phrase from a news item. Dates, please. Also, what does "partially bisected mean?
