Yanal/Yanel Bog
Thanks for your edits to Yanal Bog. I note your edit summary that you corrected the name; however the [SSSI citation sheet from English Nature] calls it Yanal. Do you have any other sources which use Yanel? if so then the page should be moved so that the tile matches the text.&mdash; Rod talk 18:48, 26 July 2014 (UTC)

Hi Rodw, apologies for my amateur abilities on Wikipedia, this is all new to me (obviously). In the matter of the spelling, my partner's father William Warren, is the owner of the land and Yanel Farm itself. Having lived there his entire life (over 60 years) the correct spelling has been a minor problem, but problem nonetheless for the family. Easily mistaken over the phone e.t.c. for Yanal due to similar pronunciation, the correct name of the farm is Yanel and the road name to access the Southern entry point is [Yanel Lane] also. By extension I believe the Bog to have carried on the incorrect spelling. Mk12Formula (talk) 18:41, 28 July 2014 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the response and don't worry about learning about wikipedia, it can be confusing at first. Sorry to hear about the issues your partner's father has been having. I can see from your google maps link that the road is Yanel Lane and it would seem logical that the "bog" nearby would have the same name; however even after more searching I can't find any sources which use this spelling for the SSSI. I would suggest contacting English Nature (now Narural England), as they now hold the data sheets for SSSIs and asking them to make a correction. Their enquiry service at http://www.naturalengland.org.uk/advice/enquiryservice/ would probably be the best place to start.&mdash; Rod talk 19:09, 28 July 2014 (UTC)
