Cheddar Gorge depth details edit
Hi, I'll take a look in some of my reference books, but I don't think I have anything with specific measurements of depth etc. I would suggest emailing the Mendip AONB service - they have been very helpful when I've asked questions about the Mendips in the past & have a wide range of books & reports as reference documents.— Rod talk 19:59, 31 May 2009 (UTC)
Done just after you suggested it. No reply from either the AONB service or the Cheddar Gorge And Caves company. It's possible that it is not in their best interests to have such a claim disputed, so they may not want to reply. Either that or they will just take a very long time.

Kinder Scout edit
Hi TarquinWJ. I noticed that you changed the height of Kinder Scout on the Peak District article from 2070ft to 2087ft above sea level. The reference in the article states that "The highest point is Crowden Head, which at 631 metres [2070ft] is also the highest point in the Peak District." The Kinder Scout article you quoted in your edit summary does not seem to have a reference for it's highest point of 2087ft. Do you have a reference for this figure? Many thanks, Schumi555 19:12, 23 August 2009 (UTC)
- The OS Landranger 1:25'000 maps sheet OL1 (9781846761218) mark a 636 metre spot height at the location of the summit, which is 1 km Southwest of Crowden Head. The OS maps give the definitive height measure for the UK, so they are the best reference for all such details (the 1:25'000 Landranger series gives the most up-to-date measurements, and supersedes the 1'50'000 series). They can be seen online here: http://www.streetmap.co.uk/map.srf?X=408515&Y=387522&A=Y&Z=115 - Note that there is also a trig point at Kinder Low, a further 700 metres Southwest, with a height of 633 metres (the same altitude as Bleaklow Hill). Both are higher than Crowden Head. If you need an alternative reference, I would suggest http://www.nuttalls.com/mountains/england.htm since that is the site run by the official maintainers of the Nuttall listings.

Borsch/Borscht edit
Hello. I've put in a formal move request to move the page back to Borscht. Since you have demonstrated yourself an interested party, I wanted to notify you. I am also notifying User:Materialscientist. Cheers. -Krasnoludek (talk) 03:12, 4 July 2010 (UTC)
Llanfairpwllgwyngyll edit
Hi... You recorded ⓘ
As you said you were a native speaker:
I am wondering whether the recording really plays back correctly.
At the start I hear that "ll" sound twice, according to the IPA pronounciation this should not be the case.
Am I correct?
Best regards, -- ThomasO.
I am not a native speaker. I am a resident of South Wales, and know how to pronounce Welsh with a South Wales accent (I can also pronounce it reasonably well with a North Wales accent, but not as well as a native speaker of the northern dialect).
The recording plays correctly here when played with Winamp. However, Wikipedia's Java-based player does have some problems. These are mentioned in the article's discussion.TarquinWJ (talk) 15:54, 10 November 2010 (UTC)
- Thanks for your answer... you're right, when I save the file and play it e.g. with VLC it sounds ok... -- ThomasO. 13:25, 11 November 2010 (UTC)
