Never done it before, feels kinda weird.
I was reading about Stoke and changed this:
The main shopping centre is Hanley; location of the Potteries Shopping Centre (housing many well known national retail outlets), many well-known high street shops and some unique specialist retailers. The Potteries Shopping Centre has recently opened high quality coffee shops including Starbucks and Costa Coffee. And with the Peak District just ten miles (16 km) away, Hanley naturally boasts five outdoors clothing & equipment shops.

The Potteries Shopping Centre has recently opened chain coffee shops including Starbucks and Costa Coffee.

Pedantastic! Still stinks of a Chamber of Commerce lackey though.
What about starting the last sentence with And? And 😉 the comma before Hanley is unnecessary.
I'm sure there is more...
It was the 'high quality' comment that I objected to, wanted to change it to 'shite' but restrained myself.
I wouldn't worry. Most people post shite on Wikipedia.;)
(Even more quote shite from it to back up spurious arguments, but that's a different story...)
I'd ditch the repetition of "well known" too. In fact the whole "(housing many... outlets)" clause is unnecessary.
When i'm bored I alter the height of Everest by a couple of meters. Good to keep the school kid cheats on their toes...
How is looking stuff up on Wikipedia cheating Ewan?
Aren't we supposed to encourage kids to look stuff up?
(Just spent some time sorting out some vandalism on Wikipedia, so I'm not really liking it being promoted here. Seems equivalent to scribbling on library books to me)

Nice to see the Geography teachers keeping abreast of their colleagues in the English department's spelling frustrations...
