Map: I'm suggesting an overall area map, a bit like the one here, for example. The standard route diagram wouldn't do, as the route hasn't been fixed yet. I haven't the skill, I'm afraid. --Old Moonraker (talk) 18:06, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
 * Done. --Old Moonraker (talk) 17:39, 6 February 2008 (UTC)

Welland ?
Is there a mistake on the map (of the proposed routes for the new navigations) because I cannot find anywhere called Welland on the map, or even in my Ordanance Survey Gazatteer.--JustinSmith (talk) 13:05, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Good to know that someone is overlooking this stuff. It's linked in the article. Best. --Old Moonraker (talk) 13:13, 13 May 2009 (UTC)

Ahh I see, it`s the river ! Maybe it`s just me but where the text is it looks like a town or village, though I accept, on looking closely at it, it is in light blue rather then white. The thing is I printed the map out on my company printer, which is black and white only ! —Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinSmith (talk • contribs) 16:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Over a very slow timescale I'm re-drawing this map using as a base a NASA image, with real height data, rather than the "artistic" shading used at present. Any suggestions regarding clarity of layout and format welcome. --Old Moonraker (talk) 08:30, 18 May 2009 (UTC)

The confusion was probably down to myself and the fact my printer was B&W, but it`d be less likely if the rivers were prefixed by "River", or just "R". --JustinSmith (talk) 12:14, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Good idea. Watch this space, but not just yet! --Old Moonraker (talk) 12:18, 18 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Added to the old map, as the new one will be a very long time. Thanks, once again, for the suggestion. --Old Moonraker (talk) 10:02, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

I think that`s fine. Incidentally, do you know where the Old Bedford River turns into the River Delph before joining the New Bedford river ? The names of the two waterways all seem a bit interchangeable there. As far as I could tell (from my OS map and Google Earth) it`s actually the Old Bedford river which runs into the New Bedford river. A counter drain appears on the West of the Old Bedford river and it is that into which the Forty Foot drain enters via Welches Lock. It`s all so confusing. What`s the explanation ? —Preceding unsigned comment added by JustinSmith (talk • contribs) 12:40, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Never noticed that before. By the time the two channels get to Welney, they seem to have swapped names. I'll be watching for the result of your appeal at Talk:Old Bedford River with great attention! --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:01, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Page 10 of this boating guide suggests that the counter drain becomes the Old Bedford River at the point to which tides flow. Doesn't help with the Delph, though . --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:16, 22 May 2009 (UTC)
 * Looked for the point on the map, but only the New Bedford River is tidal that far up. Looks like I misread it: they are just using both names "Old Bedford/Counter Drain" because they don't know either. Sorry. --Old Moonraker (talk) 16:49, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

Cutbacks
Anyone know what effect the new age of austerity will have on this project? --Robert EA Harvey (talk) 12:39, 21 November 2010 (UTC)

Italics
Why are some features' names in italics? Does it follow some MOS rule or some other internal logic, or what? I am sorry if I am being dim but I'm unable to see what it is. Thanks and best wishes (or indeed best Washes I suppose, hoho) DBaK (talk) 17:39, 20 February 2012 (UTC)
 * No idea, but I took the opportunity of reverting to plain text, while I was there. Thanks for your patience!--217.155.32.221 (talk) 13:09, 11 October 2017 (UTC)
