I don't disagree at all with redirecting Davenies, but am curious as to why? SqueakBox 19:15, May 27, 2005 (UTC)
I think there is some confusion about the town's exact distance from London. Recently the article was edited by user:SYCS Alliance from about 30 miles to about 25 miles, then another user, user:Skanking removed the 'about' as if it was an exact number, as the road signs say so. I have now edited it to now read around 25 miles, as the figure is hardly exact. For example:
Charing Cross - Beaconsfield Old Town Roundabout (straight line) is 22.95 miles or 36.93 KM
Charing Cross - Beaconsfield Railway Station (straight line) is 23.43 miles or 37.71 KM
Charing Cross - Beaconsfield Old Town Roundabout (by road) is 24.86 miles or 40.00 KM -

I meant miles by road which isnt necessarily the same thing at all. Shouldnt it say almost? Ras Billy I 23:14, 28 June 2006 (UTC)

Can I have a strong reference please that suggests Turpin actually lived in Beaconsfield? As the old saying goes, if Dick Turpin stayed in all the places he was renowned to have stayed in, he would lived to 150 and only slept in hotels... -- Roleplayer ( talk) 21:00, 11 February 2008 (UTC)
While there are hundreds of references that state that Richard Hammond moved into Beaconsfield, here's one stating that he moved out again after only three days: [1]. -- role player 22:46, 5 September 2008 (UTC)
Until I can get all the entries in the notable residents list referenced I have added some notes asking users to stop adding people to the list who do not and never have lived in Beaconsfield. Most notably:

I see no reason to remove the pronunciation guide.
The description of the town as "affluent" is unsourced puffery, and POV. Meters ( talk) 16:44, 10 July 2017 (UTC)
In the section about the name of the town, there's a partial sentence. "Although there's an incorrect assertion that it's named after a beacon. Local men did help..." Either remove "Although" or join the two sentences. Monado ( talk) 12:35, 14 December 2023 (UTC)
