I think this is a nice photo by User:Mick Knapton.
Keswick and Derwent Water seen from Latrigg summitt.
It's only on the Latrigg article at the moment. Put it on here? Alternatively I took this one and put it on wikitravel.org (similar but in the summer time) -- Nojer2 15:03, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
Is the population 4,281, or about 5,000? Both figures are cited in the article. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by Clear air turbulence ( talk • contribs) 22:31, 11 April 2007 (UTC).
Can someone state how Keswick is pronounced. I am from England but have lived in Canada a long time. I wa surprised to read this in the article on Keswick, Ontario
I would have expected Keswick UK to be said in exactly the same way.

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:Keswick, Cumbria Panorama 1 - June 2009.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on September 21, 2010. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2010-09-21. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page so Wikipedia doesn't look bad. :) Thanks! howcheng { chat} 16:06, 20 September 2010 (UTC)
This link was added to the article after discussion on the WP Reliable Sources Noticeboard. See: WP:RSN exercise. No information from the CCHT link has been put into the body of the article in the form of citations because it has not yet been verified for 100% accuracy by the Victoria County History project for Cumbria. (This will take some years to do). Laplacemat ( talk) 10:00, 18 April 2013 (UTC)
There are a few of these that might, IMHO, be better caste:

Removing a good ref [1] as primary because an article is up for FAC.
Where the hell does that come from? We do not, and have never had, any policy against the use of primary sources. We have policies against not relying on primary sources, but that is a different matter.
I take no part in GA or FA - simply because every GA I've been involved in has led to situations like this, where articles suffer because of the review itself. Either when unfamiliar editors are attracted to a technical article and then hatchet it because they have no comprehension of the subject or, like this, where invented policies are cited to make unconstructive changes.
I wish this article well and I'm sure that it will make FA - however that's still no reason to make what is still an unconstructive edit just to address a non-existent requirement. Andy Dingley ( talk) 20:50, 4 October 2014 (UTC)
