Talk:West Beck

Merger proposal
I propose to merge these two articles as they are the same stream, just listed under different names. Driffield Beck even has a wikilink on it that says its also known as West Beck and then links directly to this article. I imagine that there will not be too much in the way of objections, but just in case I am making a complete fool of myself, I have listed it here for votes for and against. Regards.

 * Support for the reasons given above. The joy of all things (talk) 20:52, 17 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Support The upper reaches of the River Hull have significant drainage modifications, and I would encourage replacing stubs with appropriate section-focused redirects to a comprehensive article of reasonable length explaining both the timing of changes and the present flow sequence. A map would be a most useful addition to this combined article, but a simplified chart might be assembled from the icons created for railways. See Santa Rosa Creek or Russian River (California) for examples. Thewellman (talk) 17:20, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment Thanks for the response; West Beck article does have route map based on a railway pictogram layout. Or are you saying it is not good enough? Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 17:50, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Nicely done! That's just what I had in mind. (Sorry, I missed it because hidden mode was a bit too effective.) Map would still be useful. Thewellman (talk) 18:52, 27 September 2017 (UTC)
 * I've added a pushpin map, hoping that helps...Jokulhlaup (talk) 16:36, 30 September 2017 (UTC)
 * Comment The course section could do with expanding to explain where the name changes take place. Keith D (talk) 20:42, 30 September 2017 (UTC)


 * Merge/Support There only needs to be one article for this stream...Jokulhlaup (talk) 16:18, 30 September 2017 (UTC)

Catchment Area
I've updated the catchment/basin area to 234.3 sq.km as it was a bit low - all of the trib areas from Catchment Data Explorer have to be added together. This fits closer with the area to the gauging point of 242.2 sq.km, which should be less or equal to the total (maybe they used different methods to measure the area...Jokulhlaup (talk) 15:12, 5 April 2018 (UTC)
