million years ago. So it was not incorrect to refer to the mountains of 200 million years ago, but I added "200 to 300 million" to try to make it clearer. The mountains would have existed all that time - and still do, to the extent that the Hills are their remnants. I did a bit of research to check on these ages, but if some geologist comes along who is more specifically knowledgeable than I about this area, I hope they can improve it even more! It looks like you all have done a very nice job on the article. Hope this helps - any questions, let me know, and of course feel free to improve my expression of this. Cheers

Do you think we should 1) remove the whole section, 2) take out the bit about snow 3) soem other edit ?— 1202:(at the top of the page). I would think you could drop the seconds, which specify the location down to 100 ft or so! The nearest minute would do (down to 1 mile or so). I haven't used this template myself, but usually you can just omit any unnecessary parameters—in this case, the seconds of lat & long. -- 712:
I think that the climate section is flawed and lets down the otherwise high quality of the article. A lot of this is text lifted from another website and relates in general to the South West of England region rather than specifically to the Mendip Hills. I suggest that any weather data that cannot be

I see that someone has already made the change, but I must agree with Simple Bob and anon. I only lived there for 5 years, but the term used to refer to the hilly area is most definitely "the Mendips", as in "I was driving through the Mendips the other day." There is the Mendip District Council, and

Thanks for the comments, a few answers 1) en-dashes - I went through & changed these for numbers following a previous comment & obviously got carried away. I've removed some. 2) Climate - I've split into 2 paras but not sure what to remove to shorten. 3) Latin names - this is advised by our

Hello - thanks for asking! I added a paragraph that I hope elucidates the issue - basically, the rocks (Carboniferous Limestone) were laid down during Early Carboniferous time, and the uplift that created the mountains (that the Hills are, I assume, the remnant of) ocurred a bit later, around 300

I just added a link to Mendip Gliding Club in the external links section. Also added links to other activity organisations mentioned in the article. MGC image of Cheddar Reservoir is almost certainly copyright so can't be used here. If you know the author maybe you can encourage it to be posted on

The proposal was rejected by Mendip District Council, which enjoyed the support of a range of (representing a coalition of??) local groups and organisations, on the grounds that the environmental impact on the edge of the Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty (or just AONB???) far(??) outweighed the

Not true. The International Geologic Time Scale uses Mississippian and Pennsylvanian as internationally accepted epoch subdivisions of the Carboniferous Period. In the United States, Mississippian and Pennsylvanian are commonly used as full-level geologic Periods, but this usage is officially

I've accepted your wording & agree this explains the council & local groups positions better, however I think it is better in history as the govt & politics section is really about who controls what. Don'tapologise for the suggestions I think they are improving the article.—

I've removed seconds from the location coordinates but the issues on age of rocks is a bit beyond my knowledge - the 200mya figure is from Barrington, Nicholas; Stanton, William (1977). Mendip: The Complete Caves and a View of the Hills. Cheddar: Cheddar Valley Press.

Do mast towers and micro-hydroelectric plants belong in the History section? This article needs a general edit, but as an American I'm not going to do it. I did capitalize the first letter of a sentence, but I'm too old to battle other editors over re-writes.

After I changed the image originally, I realised that the Crook Peak photo would probably be better, in particular because it reveals the limestone which form the Mendips. I thought I should wait for some input though; I'll go ahead and swap images (again).
206: 713:
directly attributable to the Mendip Hills should be removed. As for the claim that snow falls on 8-15 days per year, I cannot remember there being more than 8 days of snowfall in the whole of the past 5 years that I have lived in the Mendips. --
1135:, there's something wrong—or insufficiently explained—about the reference to "200 million years ago" (which is roughly Triassic/Jurassic). You'd better check this. It's not necessarily wrong, but the Carboniferous was roughly 360-300 Mya. 1449:
Peaks is a rather grandiose word when applied to the Mendips. Mostly it is a plateau with very few peaks, all of which could be ascended by a granny in a wheelchair. First ascents, if they could even be determined, would be in pre-history.

Personally I just use cite web, cite book etc & duplicate if there are several references to the same book with different page nos - but have been trying to get my head around the complexities of harvnb as it is being used on
1847: 1979:. The entry for Mendip Hills is on page 407 and agrees with what is attributed to Mills. As such, I suggest removing mention of mills from the article but retaining the information and simply using Watts insted of Mills. 944:
Much improved! 2) Leave it as it is, unless a met expert can suggest any improvements. 3) Latin names: fair comment—I was being a bit parochial there. 4) Reads much better now, don't you agree? 5) Hardy again:

Have any of the peaks of the Mendip Hills been summited? If so, it might be useful, from a historical standpoint, to give the dates of the first ascents and the names of the intrepid apinists involved.

I was about to add a link to the Mendip Gliding Club, but then noticed that it had previously been delinked. I can see why; but this has had the unfortunate consequence of removing

Just a few comments on what is in general an excellent article. I could have made these points on the FAC page, I suppose, but it feels more appropriate to do so here.

Ok, how do you want these references formatted? Are you going to have a separate bibliography section, do you use harvnb, or do you prefer it done by hand?

I like Ghmyrtle's pic suggestion, but I can see some editors complaining that it focuses on the church. I looked around geograph and found several more:

is a FA & well worth reading. I wonder whether you could link to it by changing the current wording to something like the following:
2451: 1944: 1922: 1687: 1494: 320: 2074:"Between 1770 and 1813, 7,300 ha (18,039 acres) of land ...". Looks really awkward having those numbers run into one another like that. 2476: 1435: 1142:
into Mississipian & Pennsylvanian: I suggest you make it clear in which period the Mendips were formed (I'd tell you if I knew!).

Rather than clutter up the FA review page with a lot of detailed comments I intend to list them here as I go through the article. --
