Talk:River Yarrow (Lancashire)

Reasons for Failed GA
This is a good beginning for this article but this is nowhere near being comprehensive. Compare this to the FA Larrys Creek. This article includes an entire sections on the Watershed, History, Name, Geology and Recreation. This article currently includes either little or no information on those subjects. My suggestion for a layout of this article would be thus:
 * Intro that summarizes the entire article.
 * Synonymy - information on the name of the river as well as other names if it has any.
 * Course - describe the course of the Yarrow. Much of the information in the current intro would come here. You might also place the list of tributaries here.
 * Watershed - information on the area that the Yarrow drains. Plus information on pollution and ecology.
 * Wildlife - break this down by Flora and Fauna - both native and alien species.
 * History - describe the people who have inhabited the Yarrow's banks throughout time, any uses of the river by these people, etc.
 * Current recreational uses.

Additionally, you need more sources. The article currently has one source, but it needs many more. Cheers! *Exeunt* Ganymead | Dialogue? 15:26, 21 September 2006 (UTC)

Proposed move
Following the move of River Yarrow, Scottish Borders to Yarrow Water, I propose that it would make sense to move this page to River Yarrow (which is now a straight Redirect here, formerly a DAB).

However, this requires an Admin's edit. --Mais oui! (talk) 07:54, 25 July 2009 (UTC)
 * This seems entirely sensible, and I'd guess it's unlikely to be controversial. I don't understand why an admin's attention is needed, but if it is a short post on WP:AN should do the trick. Jakew (talk) 10:43, 25 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Is this the page that Admin's forgot? --Mais oui! (talk) 09:23, 20 October 2009 (UTC)

Abyssinia??
I doubt vrey much that the River Yarrow runs through an area once called Abyssinia - this needs to be substantiated.
