This article has nothing on the economy of Chard, its largest employer Oscar Mayer, its large immigrant population (especially from Portugal) and the racial tensions and attacks that have resulted from this. It seems to me to be an important part of what makes up Chard and should added. Anyone care to comment? -- Simple Bob ( talk) 16:24, 16 March 2010 (UTC)
I've been looking at the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES and would be interested in what other editors think is need to get this article to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria? Obviously we need to reference (or remove) the uncited claims, but is there anything else which would be required?— Rod talk 15:46, 23 May 2010 (UTC)

Okay, here we go. I'll jot queries below. Casliber ( talk · contribs) 09:34, 2 August 2010 (UTC)

1. Well written?:
2. Factually accurate and verifiable?:
3. Broad in coverage?:
4. Reflects a neutral point of view?:
5. Reasonably stable?
6. Illustrated by images, when possible and appropriate?:
Overall:
The bit about the old school is both plagiarized from the source and obviously wrong -- although it is difficult to tell exactly how.
The on-line source is specifically saying: "rainwater head dated 1583." This does not necessarily mean that the entire building is dated to that year (with my limited knowledge of English architectural history, I would say that it could well be from about that time, but I guess that it could also be a few decades younger). It then goes on to say: "Built as a private residence for William Symes of Poundsford in Somerset. In 1671 he conveyed the property to 12 trustees so that it should be converted into a grammar school with residence for the master."
It is difficult to imagine that the same William Symes both had the house built in 1583 and still was active in 1671. Something is either missing/unclear or wrong in the source, the Images of England website, but it has rather carelessly been copied into the article, compounding the unclarity through the minimal changes made to the wording. Images of England cites N. Pevsner, Buildings of England: South Somerset, p. 118 (the full subtitle of the volume seems to be South and West Somerset). Someone with access to Pevsner should check what he actually says about the school. -- Hegvald ( talk) 09:46, 15 July 2012 (UTC)
The mention of the mayor's conviction for sexual discrimination and victimisation against a town employee and the Mayor's subsequent banning from office has been removed several times [1]. The justification removing it was "Governance" (somewhat misleading) once and "Conviction spent" twice. Thoughts? Meters ( talk) 04:27, 3 January 2017 (UTC)

< Percy and Ernist Petter, who formed Westland Aircraft Works, witnessed some of Stringfellow's demonstrations in Chard and often asked for help in the formation of Westland's first aircraft development factory on the outskirts of Yeovil. >
Yes but no but, Stringfellow had died years before: so who was it from whom the Petters 'asked for help'? 2A00:23C7:D29D:4E01:6838:C2A3:2023:DAD9 ( talk) 16:00, 5 March 2023 (UTC)
