Talk:River Foss

Monks Bridge
The article says ...


 * It is navigable for just over a mile from Monks Bridge (over the A1036 road)

Aquaducts carrying canals over roads are not unknown, but carrying a river over a road on a bridge is extremely unusual. Is this a mis-speak?. -- Chris j wood 18:43, 5 September 2007 (UTC)


 * No response, so I shall assume a mis-speak. -- Chris j wood 11:00, 7 September 2007 (UTC)

Assessment
This needs assessing by someone other than me, because i have done the major re-write. Unlike the Yorkshire Project which has its own assessment page, the river project doesn't, so i am unsure what the protocol is.Rimmer1993 (talk) 22:35, 13 November 2010 (UTC)

Merge of another article into this one.
It has been suggested to me by User:GuillaumeTell that there is case for merging the Bridges over the Foss section of the Bridges of York article into this one. I agree with this, but a consensus is needed. Comments please.Rimmer1993 (talk) 14:29, 28 November 2010 (UTC)

Criteria for 'Main Tributaries'
Hi, I'd be interested in including links to pages that cover some of the tributary streams and becks in York - How have those on the list here been selected? Chronotopian (talk) 19:08, 11 September 2012 (UTC)
 * I suggest that you get in touch with Rimmer1993 (talk), who added the tributaries and constructed the diagram. --GuillaumeTell 21:04, 11 September 2012 (UTC)

Foss or floss?
celtic origin would say Fluss or floss. could there be a 'l' inside? Wikistallion (talk) 19:29, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
 * No, because the origin is Latin from Fossa, meaning ditch or dyke. The same can be said about the suffixes of Catfoss, Fangfoss, and Wilberfoss. Sorry. The joy of all things (talk) 20:37, 30 April 2020 (UTC)
