I am assessing this as a start: as it is referenced, structured and contains useful information. The English is correct. --ClemRutter (talk) 18:37, 9 June 2012 (UTC) This is the discussion in progress; it seemed more appropriate to copy it to here to continue the discussion, rather than carrying on on each other's talk pages. --VinceBowdren 17:09, 15 January 2007 (UTC)
Vince - Hi, it is always good to discuss issues rather than enter 'edit wars'.
I make the following points:
"The nature reserve is not a 'small copse'. It is a 60-acre site of mixed habitats. I'm still trying to work out how to make the link work well in the article, but here is a photo of one of the nature reserve's information boards which I used as my primary source for what I have written: [1] "
It is not unmanaged. When I passed through in December I noticed a fallen tree lying parallel to the path and the wall alongside, which had obviously not fallen in that place and alignment naturally. I'm afraid I don't have a citation (so I haven't made any claims in the article about the management of the nature reserve), but this was definitely a good example of woodland management in practice.
There are certainly intentions to perform new planting to mitigate the damage which will be caused by the bypass; upstream there is a field which is filled with newly-planted saplings, and the plans for the bypass itself include environmental measures ([2]) but it is misleading of you to imply that a planting and management schedule would be an easy and effective substitute for the loss of established habitats, let alone an 'improvement'.
There is no obvious emblem on the campaign to save swallows wood website; and even if they had adopted a swallow as their emblem, it is unfair of you to take this as evidence of their ecological or historical ignorance
This is the first time since the Laissez faire Government of the mid 1980's I have heard that forestry management can only be 'hands off'!!!

Vince - FYI 'Yellowfrogs' is (Longdendale) Councillor Sean Parker Perry, a frequent purveyor of 'Greenwash' and four square behind the destruction of Swallows Wood via his support for the bypass. He is vigourously re-editing the wikpedia pages on the Longdendale Bypass, his own and Roy Oldham's page in order to boost his fake 'green' credentials and obfuscate the neutrality of these articles. He gets nasty if he gets pissed off (threatens spurious legal action), but fortunately, he's legally illiterate, so don't be put off. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 81.77.216.206 (talk • contribs)

Hope you don't mind my editing this page. I've pointed out that the site is 'managed' by United Utilities, as they are the owners. Whether they actively manage it or not, they are responsible for doing so. I think we'd need evidence to support any assertions about their 'management style', so it's wrong to say it's unmanaged without such evidence. Also, I've added a link to research that points out that TMBC's CO2 mitigation (the rationale for tree planting after the bypass) would not work. Both sides of the argument are there. I've requested a citation for the naming of the wood, since it's largely apocryphal locally, and there's no evidence presented to support this fact. Finally, a link to a birder's site which lists the birds spotted over the years at Swallows Wood. --Danhooper 21:17, 17 January 2007 (UTC)
I just reverted changes made by an unknown user. I can't find anything in Help to say that wiki pages can't be used as references. The reference provided expands the issue of CO2 mitigation. In the ref that the unknown user provided, it's clear that the leader of TMBC intended the tree planting to mitigate CO2. Regarding the 'vandalism', there's no referecnce given to 'criticism' of what looks like a display at a protest. --Danhooper 10:35, 18 January 2007 (UTC)
Vince - the Tameside website link you deleted does in fact mention the 10000 trees as claimed. Its really hard to find amongst all the waffle - just do a search for "ten thousand". Here is a quote in case you still can't find it...
--trees absorb carbon dioxide seventy-five kilogrammes per year each an average tree so we’ll doing our bit to do that and I intend, if we get permission from United Utilities as the tenant partners to increase that wood to ten thousand--
Note the 75kg error! Co2junkyCO2JUNKY
There seems to be a convergence between the unique text of some years ago, and every other page on the web. Can't see this to be a copyvio- but more a meeting of minds. If some one has time to grab some older references- I think they should be added. I have assessed this article upwards.--ClemRutter (talk) 18:28, 9 June 2012 (UTC)
