Image:Arms-maldontc.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.
Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.
If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

I removed this line "Market Hill is the steepest B Road in Essex." as neither O/S get a map or Google maps shows Market Hill as being a B road, I suspect this is now not true — Preceding unsigned comment added by 79.67.131.242 ( talk) 23:23, 10 May 2008 (UTC)
The article states that "According to the Domesday Book there were 180 townsmen in 1086." and although a few other sites state the same thing, so far as i can tell the domesday book doesn't back that up.
From what I've read, the most accurate information the domesday book can provide is that as of 1086 there were 54 households ( http://domesdaymap.co.uk/place/TL8507/maldon/ )although this doesn't really shed much light on exactly how many townsmen there were. Given that, I suspect the assertion that the domesday book states there were 180 townsmen may be inaccurate.

I've updated the wiki page to mention the households (+ citation) and also changed the text to read that the 180 figure is an estimate.

Hi I've not found out how to edit the Maldon, Essex page but want to point out that Maldon is also twinned with Villeparisis, which is located approximately 38km from the centre of Paris. It has been twinned for now 20 years. This will affect your page List of Twin Towns etc /info/en/?search=List_of_twin_towns_and_sister_cities_in_the_United_Kingdom
Source: You will see this on the Villeparisis website http://villeparisis.fr/tag/jumelage/ for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by EllenMay ( talk • contribs) 08:35, 28 October 2016 (UTC)

– The town in Essex would appear to be the primary topic. It (and the sub topics Maldon (UK Parliament constituency) and Maldon District) got nearly 5x the views of the 2 in Australia [ [1]]. The town has a population of 21,875 (the figure in the infobox is only for the parish) and the district has a population of 64,000, compared with 1,513 for Maldon, Victoria (of which is named after the Essex one) and 15 for Maldon, New South Wales (which also appears to be).

– I realize I filed another RM 2 and a half years ago that didn't get much input and got a valid point about the one in Victoria being "historic" meaning this one doesn't quite reach the bar however I actually think that given the battle (and the poem) that the Essex town is actually primary by the 2nd criteria. As can be seen the DAB page only list 3[ [3]] other topics that aren't directly associated with the town and as noted 2 of these (the 2 places in Australia) are named after this one. The song has a diacritic (though per WP:SMALLDETAILS that probably doesn't distinguish) and probably lacks long-term significance. Google only returns the Essex one (though that's probably partly due to my location) Images also only returns the Essex one (which is probably less biased since although the main Google mainly returns the bank and West Yorkshire town for Halifax, Images returns many results for the one in Canada) and Books only returns the Essex one which again I think is less biased than the main Google (again Halifax in Books doesn't return any results for the bank and returns several results not for the West Yorkshire town). As noted the Essex one has a population of around 22,032 (town) and 64,926 (district) while the 2 in Australia only have 1,278 (according to City Population and Australian Bureau of Statistics for the NSW one). Also note that although I don't support preemptive disambiguation of Australian places its often argued that its common usage to include the state while although people identify Maldon being in Essex its not treated as common usage but solely disambiguation. The other topics associated with the town (such as the district and constituency) fall under WP:DABCONCEPT as they are sub topics of it. Crouch, Swale ( talk) 20:25, 21 February 2021 (UTC)
