This the difference between the UK and GB very hard for even people in England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland to grasp - to say the Coast was the first natural site in GB is correct, but confusing when you look at the list of Heritage Sites in the UK lists. Unless the subject is specifically related to GB rather than the UK then I feel it should remain showing as the 2nd in the UK. -- C Hawke 06:55, 31 July 2007 (UTC)
What is this supposed to mean "This coast is an offshore bar." That means nothing to me. If no-one steps in to defend that wording I will delete it in a few days. Invertzoo ( talk) 00:56, 17 July 2013 (UTC)
Yesterday evening, UK time, (1 March 2014) I found that various articles about particular locations along the Jurassic Coast themselves contained a substantial amount, often an over-balancing amount, of non-specific, wholesale general information about the Jurassic Coast itself. But some have been reverted, which I find strange.
Given that this Jurassic Coast article itself already exists, the wholesale replication of non-specific generalities out onto such (supposedly) specific articles seems to have little point, especially as the articles themselves, quite rightly, all (or almost all) mention that their locations are on the J.C. and all also refer to List of places on the Jurassic Coast. So the reader is already led towards general information, in the correct places, should they wish to find out.
These locations are also on the English Channel; should we also add wholesale paragraphs of the repeated general information about the Channel to these articles? Presumably not.
These locations are also in Devon and Dorset; should we also add wholesale paragraphs of repeated general information about their respective counties to these articles? Presumably not.
These locations can also be reached by sea; should we also add wholesale paragraphs of repeated general information about marine transportation to these articles? Presumably not.
These locations are part of the shoreline; should we also add wholesale paragraphs of repeated general information about this to these articles? Presumably not.
These locations are all subject to tides; should we also add wholesale paragraphs of repeated general information about the workings of tides to these articles? Presumably not.
So... given that these locations are all part of the Jurassic Coast, should we also add paragraphs of repeated general information about this to these articles?

The Jurassic Period was named after the Jura Mountains on the European mainland, not after this section of coastline. The article gives no explanation of by whom and when the term "Jurassic Coast" came to be applied. — Quicksilver T @ 20:29, 3 June 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:

Very well written and researched. I couldn't find many issues to bring up, so once they're all out of the way then this should pass.

Right now the info-box shows a map of Egypt and the red dot for the location is off the map. I can't figure what's wrong from the page history, so if anyone reads this.... Agnul ( talk) 22:14, 21 July 2017 (UTC)
Where connected sets of articles share a common feature, such as geographic locality, there is a usually a footer template to provide a convenient overview of, and quick access to, other related articles. But the Jurassic Coast locations lack such a template. Would it be advantageous to have a "Jurassic Coast" template? The initial contents and structure might be similar to the article " List of places on the Jurassic Coast". It might even, in due course, replace that. Thoughts?

The current title of Man of War Bay seems to be perhaps one of the poorest choices for that article. So there is a discussion in progress Talk:Man of War Bay to rename it. Feline Hymnic ( talk) 10:07, 22 June 2019 (UTC)
