Hello! I'm trying to start up a wikiproject:Devon, to create and improve articles about Devon (Cornwall already has one...) follow this link and add your name if you wish: [1]. Cheers! Totnesmartin 22:43, 28 December 2006 (UTC)
The following two sites have been repeatedly added to Exmoor and other articles related to Exmoor e.g. Minehead
Repeated posting of these commercial links have already resulted in one user's account being blocked for spamming - 85.70.123.202 ( talk · contribs). visit-exmoor.eu is a list links to a number of commercial enterprises on Exmoor such as hotels, restaurants and holiday accommodation - and is very clearly linkspam. visit-exmoor.info contains very similar information buried among some more useful tourist information. As there is already a link to the DMOZ category on Exmoor which contains a number of commercial links, there is no need to have any more such external links within the article itself. Please do not add them to the article, they will be removed. Repeated insertion will be reported an may result in blocking. -- Cheesy Mike 17:51, 21 October 2007 (UTC)
This is my assessment of the ( revision) in which the article was reviewed. Preceeding edits had succeeded in providing sources for claims marked with the fact tag. Below is my findings:
Further analysis:
With all due respect, I think that this article has been listed as a GA prematurely. I think it's close, but it's not quite there yet with regard to the good writing criteria. I had considered de-listing it, or taking it to WP:GAR, but it's probably easier just to fix the problems. :)
Please understand that I'm not trying to rain on anyone's parade; I just want this article to be worthy of its GA listing. --

Congratulations to everyone involved in getting this article from GA to FA so quickly. And to think that that only a few weeks ago I was dubious that it even deserved its GA listing. :-) -- Malleus Fatuorum ( talk) 03:26, 21 January 2008 (UTC)
I have added a spoken version of this article; see the link above. Hassocks 5489 (tickets please!) 21:34, 21 July 2008 (UTC)
The following sentence:
is a grammatical train wreck. First of all, while reading it I was taken by surprise as the first comma and went back to check that it said three settlements and not two. This would be acceptable were it the only problem. The real problem is that without doing further research I have no idea whether that Railway connects Lynton and Lynmouth or Lynton/Lynmouth, Porlock, and Dulverton. And furthermore I don't know whether Lynton and Lynmouth comprise 40% of the population alone or if all three-and-a-half do. I don't know how I'd go about salvaging it, but I'd start by replacing the first "and" with a comma. If you can make the Lynton/Lymnouth amalgam singular (e.g. "the Lynton and Lynmouth metropolitan area") then you avoid confusion about the subject of "contain." But it really should change, here and on the main page. LWizard @ 02:39, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
How about: The largest settlements are Porlock, Dulverton, Lynton and Lymouth, which together comprise 40% of the park population. Lynton and Lynmouth are combined into one parish and are connected by the Cliff Railway. Simon Q ( talk) 07:43, 24 July 2008 (UTC)
BC was introduced to the article in December 2007 as part of its GA review to ensure consistent usage of dates, as previously both BC and BCE were used in the article. It user here is also consistent with other Wikipedia:WikiProject Somerset articles such as History of Somerset. Use of BCE is controversial, especially in mainly Christian countries. -- TimTay ( talk) 19:15, 24 August 2008 (UTC)
When I checked the references for measurements given in the article I found that a number of facts were unreferenced, others referred to sources which quoted metric measures and a few which gave Imperial measurements first. I have provided references and made others consistent with the sources quoted. However, this has resulted in some inconsistency. I think it would be better to make the article consistently metric first. Any comments? Michael Glass ( talk) 04:31, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I think I've got it consistent now. Please check it over because I usually miss something. Michael Glass ( talk) 12:36, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
I have now provided conversions for the amount of rainfall and 35.4km. However,
User:91.110.53.158 seems to be converting all units from metric (imperial) using the convert template to imperial(metric), and has also linked centuries. This article achieved its FA status with metric (imperial) after lots of discussion amongst the editors. I have put a note on User talk:91.110.53.158 without any response. Should these edits be reverted?— Rod talk 12:46, 22 March 2010 (UTC)
I agree with the fact that the sentence: "The three largest settlements are Porlock and Dulverton, and the combined villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, connected by the Lynton and Lynmouth Cliff Railway, which together contain almost 40% of the National Park population." is confusing and very vague and should, if not already, be edited. Perhaps to: The three largest settlements are Porlock, Dulverton, and the combined villages of Lynton and Lynmouth, the latter of which are connected by the Lynton ans Lynmouth Cliff Railway. Together, these metropolitan areas make up around 40% of the total population of the National Park.

I've uploaded a location map of Exmoor to Commons (shown to right). I have not created an associated {{ location map}} template, but this can easily be done if desired.
If this is created this would enable creation a map of Exmoor similar to the one under construction at Talk:Dartmoor#Location map, and could be used in related articles (see this example). Hope people find it useful.-- Nilf anion ( talk) 21:56, 29 October 2010 (UTC)
I've added the map but don't understand the comment about the template.— Rod talk 08:11, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
Just to clarify the point regarding rivers: The map I first uploaded was a quick one showing only the major ones. The full data is excessive, for example it includes the unnamed (on the 1:25,000 map) stream that joins the Barle at SS7438 (source nr Seta Barrow). Getting balance right will take a bit of time I think.-- Nilf anion ( talk) 19:51, 30 October 2010 (UTC)
A List of wardens of Exmoor has been added to this article. Although it is generally supported by suitable references and the individuals probably meet notability requirements bulleted lists of this sort are not generally included in Featured articles. I wonder if it should be split off into a separate list or reworded into prose?— Rod talk 20:30, 24 December 2011 (UTC)
I'm highly dubious about this claim (which has been repeated in various guises in other articles, such as at Culbone and South West Coast Path):
"Exmoor has 55 kilometres (34 mi) of coastline, including the highest sea cliffs in England, which reach a height of 314 metres (1,030 ft) at Culbone Hill."
Taken literally this suggests that there are 1000-ft cliffs at Culbone (which, needless to say, isn't the case; they'd be higher than the Cliffs of Moher and twice as high as Beachy Head). The sentence seems to be a garbled paraphrase of Exmoor did you know, which says:
Exmoor has the highest coastline on the British mainland. It reaches a height of 314 metres (1350ft) at Culbone Hill. However, here the crest of the coastal ridge of hills is more than a mile from the sea. If a cliff is defined as having a slope greater than 60 degrees, the highest cliff on mainland Britain is on Great Hangman near Combe Martin. The coastal hill is 318 metres (1043 ft) high with a cliff face of 250 metres (800ft).
The cliffs at Great Hangman may well be the highest in England, within the given definition. But Culbone Hill is some miles away, isn't really part of the same range of hills, and isn't a cliff - it doesn't have a slope of greater than 60° and it's a mile from the coast. (As an aside, the National Park has misquoted the height anyway: it's 413m, not 314m—see OS map.) I'm also not convinced by the National Park's "highest coastline on the British mainland" claim: how far inland does the "coastline" extend? There are lots of hills and mountains in Wales and Scotland that are higher and can legitimately be described as coastal (for example, several mountains around Fort William rise straight from the sea to 700m and more, and the hills above Penmaenmawr and Barmouth in Wales are higher). I'm no expert on Exmoor, so I've not dived in and changed it. I propose a rewrite along the following lines, but I'd welcome other opinions: "Exmoor has 55 kilometres (34 mi) of coastline, including the highest sea cliffs in England at Great Hangman (800 feet/240 m). The coastal hills reach a maximum height of 413 metres (1,355 ft) at Culbone Hill."
Dave.Dunford ( talk) 14:54, 11 October 2012 (UTC)
I note an image of the "Flag of Exmoor" has been added to this article ( File:Exmoor Flag.svg). Does anyone know how "official" this is eg has it been adopted by the National Park Authority or similar, as the reference given seems to be largely designed to promote associated merchandise?— Rod talk 14:59, 3 May 2015 (UTC)
I've recently come upon this article, and while it is clear that some good work has gone in to producing it, I cannot escape the feeling that it does not belong within the elite category of FAs, and therefore I would suggest that it go to FAR. This article was promoted to FA status way back in January 2008, and in the intervening years the standards expected at Wikipedia have risen dramatically. There were articles that passed FAC back then which today would struggle to even pass GAN, and if I'm being honest, I believe that the Exmoor article is one such example. Looking it through, it is clear that there are vast areas of the article which are simply un-referenced, a number of sources are improperly cited, and several might not be classified as Reliable Sources at all. All in all, I think that we can do a lot better, and wanted to see if there was support for such a course of action? Best, Midnightblueowl ( talk) 18:07, 8 October 2015 (UTC)
Would you like to win up to £250 in Amazon vouchers for participating in The West Country Challenge?
The The West Country Challenge will take place from 8 to 28 August 2016. The idea is to create and improve articles about Bristol, Somerset, Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, Dorset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire, like this one.
The format will be based on Wales's successful Awaken the Dragon which saw over 1000 article improvements and creations and 65 GAs/FAs. As with the Dragon contest, the focus is more on improving core articles and breathing new life into those older stale articles and stubs which might otherwise not get edited in years. All contributions, including new articles, are welcome though.
Work on any of the items at:
or other articles relating to the area.
There will be sub contests focusing on particular areas:

For us who live across the pond, your might add moorland to the first sentence, like: "...located on the Exmoor moorland, near the village of Withypool...". This will make it clear to us non-Englanders that Exmoor is not a hill, a county, a castle or whatever but an area of wetlands and/or uplands without trees.
I'd make the change myself but I don't like modifying current featured articles, especially the first sentence. -- RoyGoldsmith ( talk) 18:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)

For us who live across the pond, your might add moorland to the first sentence, like: "...located on the Exmoor moorland, near the village of Withypool...". This will make it clear to us non-Englanders that Exmoor is not a hill, a county, a castle or whatever but an area of wetlands and/or uplands without trees.
I'd make the change myself but I don't like modifying current featured articles, especially the first sentence. -- RoyGoldsmith ( talk) 18:32, 8 April 2018 (UTC)
