Talk:Derwentwater

Images
I'm curious as to the continuing trend in this article to replace one another's images, all of which are worthy of a place within the article. I have recently added my image of Derwentwater at Dusk to the article for the thitd after it was deleted for the second time in a month. I would much appreciate it if it could be left alone as I have had a number of messages of praise towards the image from other Wikipedia members and I believe the image portrays the lake's beauty well--Ian Hunter 08:58, 29 August 2006 (UTC).
 * To whoever, created the gallery, thanks. It's an excellent idea that should prevent any further changes to images-I-hunter 18:56, 29 August 2006 (UTC).

Derwent Water → Derwentwater — The correct local name is 'Derwentwater' rather than 'Derwent Water', the name of the page should reflect this. —Matt Orrison (talk) 22:43, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Sounds fair enough to me. Google Fight seems to agree. ;-) &#208;iliff    &#171;&#187;  (Talk)  22:49, 22 December 2009 (UTC)
 * Oppose, pending a cite to support this move. Google Fight appears to be broken - "derwent water" produces over 70,000 results, not 6,700 as GF would suggest.  81.111.114.131 (talk) 21:06, 27 December 2009 (UTC)

 * I live in England and have been to the Lake District many times, and the usual spelling is Derwentwater. Anthony Appleyard (talk) 17:10, 28 December 2009 (UTC)

Derwentwater - Really?.
I've just discovered the above move discussions, and I'm astonished. Let me point out the following:


 * The BBC calls it Derwent Water. See, in the story actually quoted in the External References section of this article.
 * The 1925 Ordnance Survey map that is displayed at the top left of the article calls it Derwent Water.
 * The current Ordnance Survey maps all call it Derwent Water. See
 * Google Maps calls it Derwent Water. See

Surely that is pretty definative. -- Starbois (talk) 17:32, 4 January 2010 (UTC)
 * Re: the map. One could argue that if it said "Derwentwater", the word wouldn't quite fit within the lake.  howcheng  {chat} 17:17, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

Derwentwater
I live in the Lake District. It is Derwent Water. It appears as Derwent Water (two words) on the Ordnance Survey map (NY 263 209 GB Grid). See also: Coniston Water, Devoke Water, Crummock Water. Exceptions are Loweswater and Elterwater. Request that the page is moved to the correct name! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Tompage02 (talk • contribs) 22:58, 12 March 2010 (UTC)
 * Other exceptions are Ullswater, Haweswater and Hayeswater. Lavateraguy (talk) 09:10, 6 December 2010 (UTC)

The lake in arts
Turner has a watercolour with the lake, it's in the British Museum. Not being a native English, I don't venture to write this in the article. I guess someone with a better English could do it. Here's the link: https://www.britishmuseum.org/collection/object/P_1958-0712-442 Cheers 2001:9E8:8932:1B00:5053:5C34:2276:1159 (talk) 20:03, 5 February 2023 (UTC)
