Pilkington F.C. play at the same level of football and are, in fact, a better team than St Helens Town at the minute so I believe Pilkington F.C. should get a mention in this article. Additionally, Cheeky Bazzas F.C. are a popular team in St Helens getting near 100 fans on two different occasions, more than the average attendance of both Pilkington and St Helens Town.

Pilkingtons addition is still included while I find supporting sources which I know are out there, but unclear to what weight. St Helens Town have a clear competitive history, with the FA Vase

Cheeky Bazzas was removed as there is no clear notability. It requires multiple secondary sources, not fan pages or their own homepage or Facebook group etc. Koncorde (talk) 14:01, 13 April 2020 (UTC)[reply]

One uncited sentence reads "Less well-known is the Windle connection to witches. In 1602, two women were sent to Lancaster for trial, while a decade later Isobel Roby was submitted to Sir Thomas Gerard, accused of upsetting the ship upon which Princess Anne of Denmark was arriving. She was finally executed at Lancaster, along with the Pendle and Salmesburg witches, on 20 August 1612." The article then links to the article on Queen Anne. Given that the eventual Queen Anne was not born until the 1665, either the dates here listed are incorrect, the article links to the wrong individual, or the entire story is inaccurate in some major way (or Isobel Roby was a far more powerful witch than she's being given credit for). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:4040:123E:B800:6410:30E:C17C:7681 (talk) 19:46, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for pointing that out. The correct Anne of Denmark isn't the Queen Anne. I will drag out the sourcing later. Koncorde (talk) 19:51, 20 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion, the big gap at the end of the 'Cultural references' section of the article should be removed as in my opinion it looks strange having such a big gap at the end of the section. Xboxsponge15 (talk) 21:29, 20 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Looks as if this has been dealt with. Tacyarg (talk) 09:19, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Apologies, I was looking at the wrong section. I think this is caused by the depth of the picture of Beecham. Tacyarg (talk) 09:21, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It's the Punch cartoon. Flipping the sections around fixes the issue - although a bit of whitespace isn't really an issue. Koncorde (talk) 10:52, 21 September 2020 (UTC)[reply]
