Geography of the United Kingdom looks like the sort of thing we should be aiming for... Paulbrock 23:11, 5 June 2007 (UTC)
-- Mais oui! ( talk) 14:05, 7 October 2009 (UTC)
Although I don't think it belongs in the English geography article at the moment. Kentynet ( talk) 15:50, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
This article has been corrupted. A fragment of a section on rivers has been fused with 'Climate'. Rivers section removed 23.8.10 in order to make the article readable, but information on rivers is now missing. Eiamjw ( talk) 09:53, 23 August 2010 (UTC)
The statistics box I "borrowed" from Geography of Scotland and edited for England, so thanks whoever created it in the first place. I intend to add more to this article and to bring it up-to a good standard. Kentynet ( talk) 17:09, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
The climate section has been added to, statistics provided, zones map provided and the layout of the article changed. Kentynet ( talk) 17:31, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
geology section added. It links to the geology scetion of GB. It needs adding in-depth information to, alas I know next to nothing on the subject and I don't intend to learn in a few hours, so if someone else could extend this section a bit that'd be great. Also added physical geography and topography, mountains and hills sections (again, inspiration taken from the Geography of Scotland article. Still intend to do a lot of work to this article if I can. Kentynet ( talk) 18:19, 5 September 2010 (UTC)
I've finished my work on the article, I'll still do a few minor edits here and there, but I think the major part of it is done, just minor tweaks perhaps need doing. Its still not quite as good as the Geography of Scotland article, I'd like it to have more detail, but it does have a lot of statistics. Kentynet ( talk) 10:12, 6 September 2010 (UTC)
Some statistics about land use would be nice. Off the top of my head I think urban accounts for 9% and arable is probably somewhere around 40%, pasture probably another 40% and Moorland and "other" should be around 10% I think. Can anyone find any statistics? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Kentynet ( talk • contribs) 22:32, 5 October 2011 (UTC)
Does 56% of the landmass of Great Britain constitute 'two thirds'? And where does this description leave Wales? Ceartas ( talk) 22:50, 21 November 2011 (UTC)
There seems to be some discrepancy in the way miles and km are used. While distances are in km (miles), areas are in sq miles then sq km. Does it matter? Probably not, but it jars all the same. In land use, sq miles is not given at all, while in the info box metric consistently comes first. I know the English "of a certain age" (including me) are ambivalent about miles (all our road signs) and km (many sporting events), and the road to metrication has been long and arduous, but... Just thinking aloud, really. Tony Holkham ( talk) 21:12, 14 November 2014 (UTC)

I don't know anything about the geography of England, but I DO know that this is fake (due to vandalism):
I don't know if it should be corrected and reinserted. I'll leave it for a more knowledgeable editor to decide.-- FeralOink ( talk) 10:33, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
An editor has identified a potential problem with the redirects West England and Western England and has thus listed them for discussion. This discussion will occur at Wikipedia:Redirects for discussion/Log/2022 June 2#West England until a consensus is reached, and readers of this page are welcome to contribute to the discussion. Jay (talk) 20:53, 2 June 2022 (UTC)
I have made a small edit to change region in the infobox to match with the Geography of Scotland article.
it doesn’t make sense to have articles of two countries within the same region using two different region locations names, both are correct geographically but it just ensures clarity.
I would appreciate if anyone could tell if there is a naming practice for this. ChefBear01 ( talk) 16:17, 30 March 2023 (UTC)
