Mentioning "'hip' vinyl records" and "fashion police" are not npov.
Agreed. But this is simply an appalling piece in general for what is an iconic, and much-loved London market. Quick fix now, but it's on my photo list for next time I get up early on a Sunday. Tarquin Binary 06:54, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
OK, POV stuff removed, blanded it out some, but will try to fill this out properly some time soon. Haven't been down there in ages, so prefer to do some 1st-hand checking first. Tarquin Binary 07:08, 20 October 2005 (UTC)
To classify both Aldgate East and Liverpool Street as the nearest stations is misleading. Aldgate East is 0.7 miles away and Liverpool Street is 0.9 miles away. Hence Aldgate East is the closer station. Franiel242 (talk) 11:23, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
The article relies too much on personal experience and recollected rumors. The next stage is to base it on reliable sources. There must be hundreds of pages written about the Brick Lane Market through the years. Historical info is also needed. -- ℜob C. alias ⒶⓁⒶⓇⓄⒷ 14:55, 15 August 2008 (UTC)
A few students from Cornell University will be adding to this article as part of a class assignment in the next week. More specifically, we're providing a history of the market, a description of vendors, nearby attractions, transportation around the market, and general information about the market's layout. One of us also has pictures taken while at the market. If anyone would like to help us with any editing or formatting issues that might come up, that would be great. --JP Comm (talk) 19:35, 30 September 2012 (UTC)Joey236-- (talk) 18:55, 29 September 2012 (UTC)
I think that you guys did really good in linking he page to the other pages. You guys should expand more on what things hey sell in each thing. Also if you could talk to someone who has visited of lives there it will be very helpful. --JP Comm (talk) 19:35, 30 September 2012 (UTC)

Excellent justification of this topic - being an important cultural enclave in London and the fact that the current article is very short. LeshedInstructor (talk) 00:53, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
It is fantastic that you have first hand photographs that you can upload to the Wikimedia Commons. If you are putting up a side box, try to find out similar side boxes about famous locations and follow their structure. LeshedInstructor (talk) 00:57, 24 September 2012 (UTC)
I think some books on the history of London (probably with a focus on more modern-day) would have good resources. Travel books for London often include a section on Brick Lane. Quainiac (talk) 16:57, 25 September 2012 (UTC)
This list of references looks really good, and I think it will be really good that you're using the pictures that Danielle has of the market. Additionally, you may consider looking at travel blogs etc for more pictures, perhaps if they have seasonal changes, or if it's changed over time Jrb374 (talk) 02:10, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
This looks pretty good. Note that Wikipedia articles should not have a section "introduction". Instead, they have a lead section that summarizes the rest of the article (which means it should not introduce new information). Please make sure your article follows that style. --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 02:55, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
Not a bad start. One aspect that concerns me a little is that it's very heavy on primary sources - a lot of the information about individual tenants and companies is sourced to their own websites, or to the company who operate the market, etc. The markets are quite prominent, and it should be possible to find secondary sources discussing them. (I'm glad to see the LRB article, for example - admittedly it's sourcing a minor point, but it's the sort of external source you want) From a historical angle, was there any modern Brick Lane market as such pre-2004? The outline is quite vague, but articles such as this suggest there was something there in the 1980s. (I don't know the area very well) It's also not clear why these modern markets opened - spillover from Spitalfields? Andrew Gray (talk) 21:54, 3 October 2012 (UTC)
This is a good start. You can nominate your work at WP:DYK for front page exposure. Note that this nom has to be done within five days of the move (so, within five days of today). --Piotr Konieczny aka Prokonsul Piotrus| reply here 18:33, 4 October 2012 (UTC)
