New Page: notable?
editInteresting new page. Lots of good content, but I'm not sure that 'Back of the Wight' is a term I've ever heard used to describe that area, although it seems to fit. I'm not suggesting it isn't used that way - I am sure this is just a use I'm not familiar with (I'm from East Wight) but if ever I've heard it people have meant the back(bone) of the Wight, i.e. the central chalk ridge. In short, I'm questioning whether the separate identity of 'Back of the Wight' is notable enough for a page. Naturenet | Talk 11:01, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Thank you for having a look and telling me what you think. I'm planing to add extra information and justification when I can. I think this is an increasingly relivant point as the cliffs threaten the Military Road (It has already been moved as I'm sure you know ) It is a term used frequently in the actual areaa though probably not as much east of Newport! The book referenced used the term frequently so I think it is ok however if you can improve the article then please do.Many Thanks. 17:21 9th July 2011 User:Xhavnak —Preceding undated comment added 16:21, 9 July 2011 (UTC).
I think the term refers to the fact that the area is sort of behind and down the back of the downs but I could be wrong. Thanks for commenting. Xhavnak (talk) 16:27, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
Could anyone assess this please? Xhavnak (talk) 22:34, 9 July 2011 (UTC)
West Wight?
editI think this page would be better called 'West Wight'. If not, at least West Wight should link-thru to this page. Valetude (talk) 19:21, 10 January 2022 (UTC)
