I think one ought to encourage new authors of content on the wiki,
rather than rely on the same few contributors. Part of that
encouragement requires a "light touch" when it comes to editing, rather
than disembowelling on first site ;-)

While this is certainly not the strongest article on the site, there are
plenty weaker!

Might be handy if you make it clear which are your comments... Let me

Roofing materials


===Clay Tile===

Clay is what has been used for many years to create the traditional
roof tile look that we have become so accustomed to throughout the
residential streets of the UK. It's the most popular roofing
solutions that can be seen across almost every roofscape in cities,
towns and villages.

not true

So what is the most popular roofing in the UK?...

I would have thought that slate is a very good contender. It certainly
dominated the roofs where I lived in London and in Glasgow.

Yeah, my perception is that while clay tiles can be locally common and
became the common alternative to thatch in many areas, slate became the
dominant roofing material with the industrial revolution and the growth
of towns and cities. And continued to be so until concrete tiles arrived
on the scene.
