(September 2005)]] [[Image:Arms-hackney-lb.jpg\|thumb\|200px\|Arms of Hackney London Borough Council]] The '''London Borough of Hackney''' is a [[London borough]] in [[North East London]] and part of [[Inner London]]. Unlike most English districts, its council is led by a [[Mayors in the United Kingdom\|directly-elected mayor]]. ~~[[User:OmegaWikipedia\|OmegaWikipedia]] 22:14, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC)OmegaWikipedia~~ == Borough of contrasts== The borough is known for being one of the poorest and crime-affected London boroughs. Despite this perception it is a place of considerable contrasts. The south western tip of the borough is adjacent to the [[City of London\|City]] and close to the [[Broadgate]] development. In this area some office development has taken place within the borough boundary. Also in the south west is [[Hoxton]] and [[Shoreditch]] which are central to the [[London arts scene]] and home to numerous clubs, bars, shops and restaurants, much of which is centered on Hoxton Square. ~~== VfD --> CSD ==~~ The development of Shoreditch and Hoxton caused land value to increase in the area such that developers looked to other parts of the borough for development. Much of Hackney is inner-city in character and in places like [[Dalston]] large housing estates now sit side-by-side with [[gated community\|gated communities]]. Howdy. Regarding your comment on [[Wikipedia:Votes for deletion/Greatest mathematicians]], do you feel it is OK to put a CSD notice on a VfD article if the article is clearly a speedy candidate? I've done this several times in the last few days, but will stop if there is specific policy against it or if there's a good reason for not doing so that I'm not aware of. Cheers. [[User:Android79\|android]]↔[[User talk:Android79\|talk]] 00:27, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC) Oops, looks like I misunderstood your initial comment in the first place. I meant putting the CSD notice on ''articles'' nominated for VfD, not the discussions. Nevermind. [[User:Android79\|android]]↔[[User talk:Android79\|talk]] 10:44, Apr 27, 2005 (UTC) The main commercial and retail centre of Hackney is known as [[Hackney Central]] to distinguish it from the rest of the borough. [[South Hackney]] abuts [[Victoria Park, East London\|Victoria Park]] (which is in neighbouring [[London Borough of Tower Hamlets\|Tower Hamlets]]) and terraced Victorian and Edwardian housing stock has survived in the area. ~~==User:SPUI==~~ Is user SPUI an admin? If so I would like wikipedia to explain how he can continue to write profanities and make unsubstantiated comments on other users in public. It is setting a poor example to people who can be bothered to read this encyclopaedia. [[User:JamesBurns\|JamesBurns]] 04:24, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) To the north of the borough is [[Clapton]], [[Stamford Hill]] and [[Stoke Newington]] which are more suburban in character. To the east is the large open space of the [[Hackney Marshes]] and the districts of [[Hackney Wick]] and [[Homerton]]. There is some declining light industry around the [[River Lea]] (the eastern boundary) and land is planned to be re-used for the [[2012 Summer Olympics]]. ~~==Dates==~~ After I was reverted a couple of times on another article, I asked on the relevant MoS Talk page about my approach to dates. The last time I checked, the consensus seemed to be that my style was consistent with the MoS, but few (if any?) people agreed that it should be adopted as the recommended style — so it's permissible, but no more. I don't revert it any more (I seem to remember reverting on the article in question just because the links were included in both places, and because the birth date was wrong in the summary), though I use it for articles that I start, or on which I do a lot of work. I prefer it because, first, I think it makes the summary look less cluttered and messy, and secondly, it makes the summary ''summarise'' the greater detail of the article — but I've given up trying to convince others of that. [[User:Mel Etitis\|Mel Etitis]] ([[User talk:Mel Etitis\|<font color="green">Μελ Ετητη&sigmaf;</font>)]] 21:19, 27 Apr 2005 (UTC) == History == The borough was formed in [[1965]] from the former [[metropolitan borough]]s of [[Metropolitan Borough of Hackney\|Hackney]], [[Metropolitan Borough of Shoreditch\|Shoreditch]] and [[Metropolitan Borough of Stoke Newington\|Stoke Newington]]. == ~~[[E.S.~~Demographics ~~Posthumus]]~~of Hackney == The [[United Kingdom Census 2001\|2001 census]] gives Hackney a population of 202,824. ~~I moved the article twice, accidentally. The spelling is "E.S. Posthumus", not "ES Posthumus" nor "E S Posthumus".~~ The population is ethnically diverse. Of the resident population, 89,490 (44%) people describe themselves as White British. 30,978 (15%) are in other White [[ethnic group]]s, 50,009 (25%) are Black or Black British, 17,414 (9%) are Asian or Asian British, 8,501 (4%) describe themselves as 'Mixed', and 6,432 (3%) as Chinese or Other. ~~== Masturbation ==~~ 132,931 (66%) of the resident population were born in the UK. A further 10,095 (5%) were born in other parts of [[Europe]], and the remaining 59,798 (29%) born elsewhere in the world. Thank you for the message on my talk page. I appreciate you contacting me. However, you are incorrect, the majority of the people on the talk page are in favor of removing the image from this article. By repeatedly reinserting it, you are going against the majority view. [[User:Force10\|Force10]] 21:22, 28 Apr 2005 (UTC) The 2001 census also shows Christianity is the biggest religion in Hackney, with 94,431 (47%) Christian; 27,908 (14%) Muslim; 10,732 (5%) Jewish; and 6,831 (3%) belong to other religions. A further 38,607 (19%) stated no religion, and 24,315 (12%) did not state a religion. ~~== George Clooney (movie character) ==~~ ~~Hi RickK;~~ Please check out the contributions of [[User:Bobber2\|Bobber2]], the originator of this article. I stumbled on him a few days ago via an article he had written listed on cleanup. This seems to be another "SamuraiClinton"ish situation. Not that I think he's a sockpuupet, but his contributions have been a combination of #good but very minor ([[The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy (movie)]], and making sure any building seen in that "Team America" movie has a "Team America" listing in any "Movies this building has appeared in" section). ~~#well-intentioned but horribly written or inappropriate (virtually anything he's done connected with [[Ed, Edd n Eddy]], especially episode articles, some of which have been copyvio)~~ ~~# and sporadic vandalism [[Detroit, Michigan]], [[Police]].~~ 32% of householders are owner–occupiers. Plus he appears completely unresponsive to suggestions to improve his edits or a reasonable understanding of policies or Wikiquette. Several messages have been left on his talk page, some of which have simply been deleted. He also claims to be an administrator on his user page. I'm pretty sure this is in response to an incident where he threw a "protected" tag on the Ed, Edd n Eddy article, and I removed it, pointing out in the edit summary that he was not an administrator and could not protect an article. And he's deleted comments from the Ed, Edd n Eddy talk page. I've been thinkin' about asking for advice from a more experienced editor, and since you discovered one of his "WTF???" articles I guess I'll ask you. :-) It might be a little early to bring in the " big guns" like RFC or blocking, but maybe we should just attempt to head this off at the pass now. He's been editing like a crazed bunny rabbit for the last few days now. Although I suspect the high edit count is due to not understanding or using the "preview" button. Not looking to pawn this off on you, just looking for some input from someone more experienced. Thanks very much. [[User:Soundguy99\|Soundguy99]] 02:13, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) == Transport== :I've also tried to talk to Bobber2. Seeing as he wasn't responding to comments on talk pages, I sent him an email. Unfortunately, he hasn't responded to that, either, and has continued mostly putting in poor edits on Wikipedia.—[[User:Boarder8925\|Quickbreak]] 23:02, 29 Apr 2005 (UTC) Hackney is the only inner London borough north of the [[River Thames\|Thames]] that has no [[London Underground]] stations other than those on its borders with other boroughs. [[Manor House tube station\|Manor House]] is in the extreme north-west of the borough and on the boundary with [[London Borough of Haringey\|Haringey]] and [[Old Street tube station\|Old Street]] is in the extreme south-west and on the border with [[London Borough of Islington\|Islington]]. Thanks for your reply. My gut feeling is "clueless and young (like 12 or 13)" rather than "troll". It's just that some irresponsible/clueless Wikipedians won't respond to "peer pressure" (so to speak); they need attention from "authority" before altering their behavior. [[User:Soundguy99\|Soundguy99]] 13:11, 30 Apr 2005 (UTC) [[Transport for London]] plan to extend the [[East London Line]] northwards through the borough reusing some of the abandoned line between [[Dalston Junction station\|Dalston Junction]] and [[Broad Street station\|Broad Street]] with stations at Shoreditch High Street, Hoxton, Haggerston and Dalston Junction. When complete, the line will be handed over to [[Network Rail]] who will run services from Hackney to South London. ~~== User:220.253.117.193 ==~~ The [[Silverlink]] [[North London Line]] and the [[one (railway)\|'one' West Anglia]] pass through the borough with the following stations within its boundary: ~~Thanks for blocking this user.
