Talk:Brown Willy


 * ... that Cornwall's Brown Willy is prone to the Brown Willy effect?


 * ... that Cornwall's Brown Willy is believed by members of the Aetherius Society to be full of holy energy?


 * ... that Cornwall's Brown Willy reaches a height of 1,375 feet?


 * I think the second one, but we have until April to think about it.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 22:35, 4 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Maybe they could be combined, as follows? Prioryman (talk) 22:50, 4 January 2013 (UTC)


 * ... that Cornwall's Brown Willy is 1,375 feet high, prone to the Brown Willy effect and believed by the Aetherius Society to be full of holy energy?


 * ... that Cornwall has a 1,375-foot-high Brown Willy that causes the Brown Willy effect and is supposedly full of holy energy?


 * Or "Cornwall" could be removed and replaced with a "the"? Anyway, seeing as the article is of reasonable length, I think we should merge another article into it and go for GA?-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 00:07, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

Merger proposal
I propose that Brown Willy Cairns be merged into Brown Willy. I think that the content in the Cairns article can easily be explained in the context of this one, and this article is of a reasonable size that the merging of the other article will not cause any problems as far as article size or undue weight is concerned.

 * Sounds like a good idea – I'd support that. Please note though that the merger template you put on the page doesn't work – it's not meant for use in userspace. Let's just merge in the content into this draft and then post the whole thing when we're closer to April 1st. Prioryman (talk) 11:45, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Yes ok that sounds like a good idea ... the main contributor to the article has been blocked so I didn't notify them about it but I will copy across and wait until the history merge into mainspace to redirect the other article.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 12:52, 5 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Actually, we might as well just history merge into mainspace now, get the DYK nominated for April 1 as it can be held for up to a year.-- Gilderien Chat&#124;List of good deeds 22:23, 5 January 2013 (UTC)

✅. No objections here, so I've converted Brown Willy Cairns to a redirect. Content was merged on 5 Jan. —S MALL  JIM   12:22, 31 January 2013 (UTC)

requested move at Talk:Brown Willy effect
Any more opinions at Talk:Brown Willy effect would be welcome. The question is, is it verifiable from reliable sources that a meteorological phenomenon exists by the name of Brown Willy effect? It is also referred to in this article. --Money money tickle parsnip (talk) 05:38, 11 October 2018 (UTC)

View from the summit
Many hills have a 'Summit View' section. Brown Willy's is distinctly boring - Cornwall is basically a flat plateau. Rough Tor stands out but that is all. However you can see both Cornwall's North and South coasts. That is you can see the Bristol Channel and the English Channel. Meanwhile the Cornish peninsular extends way past the horizon to the West. This is noteworthy because the two coasts look surprisingly near from the summit. In no other place can you appreciate just how narrow Cornwall is. I think a note should be made of this fact. Whilst you can easily calculate the visibility from Brown Willy's altitude, I'll see if there is an independent reference. — Preceding unsigned comment added by OrewaTel (talk • contribs) 02:18, 21 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The sea off the north coast of Cornwall is now known as the Celtic Sea rather than the Bristol Channel. Northwards it might be possible to see as far as Lundy Is. Cw2.jpg The narrowness of the peninsula is obvious from this map but I doubt that it belongs in the article for Brown Willy.--Johnsoniensis (talk) 20:56, 21 August 2020 (UTC)


 * The width of Cornwall doesn't belong on the Brown Willy page but the fact that you can see both coasts does. I know it to be true because I've seen it but personal memories don't count. If I can find a reliable reference then I'll add a summit section. OrewaTel (talk) 08:19, 22 August 2020 (UTC)
