> 1900 hours of sunshine total showing. I doubt this very much - it would make it just about the sunniest place in the UK, and I don't think it's that! — Preceding unsigned comment added by Bigalxyz123 ( talk • contribs) 11:29, 15 February 2018 (UTC)
The article is scheduled for the front page next month, and as a co-author of most of the text I'd be grateful for any comments in advance of the front page appearance. Tim riley talk 21:39, 28 July 2019 (UTC)
In the infobox we have ' Civil parish – Keswick'. This is sourced to an archived version of the Keswick Town Council's homepage, [1] but 'parish' is not mentioned there, nor on the current homepage. [2] Civil parishes in Cumbria says the civil parish is 'Keswick Urban District'. This has two sources, neither of which is convincing: one covers the situation up to 1974, [3] and the other [4] redirects to an ONS search page.
So we need a better source. I have found two: A Vision of Britian [5] and Lake District National Park. [6] Both indicate that Keswick Civil Parish still exists, but do not confirm that it is co-terminal with or encloses the town. I am unclear on the relationships between types of area and local government bodies. Does 'Keswick Civil Parish' mean the same thing as 'the area administered by Keswick Town Council'? I will change the source to the National Park page, but it would be good to clarify the relationship between the civil parish and the town council. Verbcatcher ( talk) 18:17, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
So how does English make it England? When England is a country and English is a language? All articles should use England but this one seems to have an editor who won't let it be included under a seemingly WP:Own of Keswick. @ PamD:, @ Crouch, Swale: and @ Keith D:. Should England be included as English is not a country? DragonofBatley ( talk) 20:39, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
And before common sense is used, note that not every one in the world will know what English market town in Cumbria is. Without England its like saying Boston in Lincolnshire. Could be confused with Boston in Massachusetts and vice a versa DragonofBatley ( talk) 20:46, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
Without the country, where is it. It doesn't say Keswick England. It says Keswick Cumbria. Without the country mentioned it confuses the reader and English is used for the language and not a town other then through historic origins or tourist attractions.

When England is a country and English is a language?is not helping me at all ... yes but no but ... English here surely is simply an adjective for things that are in or of England. You can call me, without inaccuracy, an English person ... you don't need to specify which country I live in or who issued my passport. With the best will in the world, I don't get it.

Yes ok, this is a Featured Article. I think perhaps parish church could be linked? The image caption looks somewhat mundane. Surely the designer Anthony Salvin is more notable than the date? I clicked on the ref link, to try and discover what "castle-head ashlar sandstone" is (still none the wiser), but all of that paragraph, apart from the details about the East Window, seems to be unsourced?
