The Bronze Age should precede the Iron Age, though I know nothing of the local archaeology in the Levels. --10:36, 19 Jan 2005 (UTC)— Preceding unsigned comment added by Wetman ( talk • contribs) 10:36, 19 January 2005 (UTC)
Shouldn't it be pollarding rather than coppicing that is 'cutting back to the main stem'? Backdooruk 16:12, 6 December 2006 (UTC)

In a House of Commons debate on the Somerset levels it talks about "Two inland seas projects have been considered, involving low-level water-holding catchment areas, one covering 4,000 sq m, at the cost of £23,000, and the other covering some 75,000 sq m." (Column 298WH) - does anyone think this is miles or meters?— Rod talk 16:14, 10 June 2007 (UTC)
(this is not yet a GA review) It would be realy good to have a map here to show the different rivers, places etc mentioned in the article. GB 08:04, 26 June 2007 (UTC)
I have placed the GA nomination of this article on hold. The quality of the article is good, but the lead paragragh seems poor, whilst many many facts in the article seem to go unreferenced (even though in parts of the article the referencing seems ok), there is no referencing on the size of the area. etc. Francisco Tevez 10:48, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
No problems now. I will mark the nominee as a pass. Francisco Tevez 15:11, 6 July 2007 (UTC)
The following rivers and drains: Oldbridge River, River Banwell, Lox Yeo, River Sheppey, Decoy Rhine, Whitelake, Pillrow Cut, North Drain, South Drain, Black Ditch, Eighteen Foot Rhine, Horsey Pill, Lopen Brook, Chinnock Water, Sedgemoor Old Rhine, Sowey River, Hamp Brook, Cobb's Cross Stream, North Moor Main Drain, Cannington Brook, River Yeo (Ivel), Bearley Brook, River Cam, Somerset are all redlinks on List of rivers of England. Perhaps they could be incorporated into this article as they may not be notable enough on their own.— Rod talk 07:49, 23 September 2007 (UTC)
This article has now been a fairly stable Good Article for over two years and I am looking for ideas about what would be needed to get it to meet the Wikipedia:Featured article criteria? This is one part of the Featured topic about Physical geography of Somerset. The rules about FT's have changed and we need to get one of the GAs included in the topic up to FA status or the whole FT will be demoted to a Good topic. Any ideas appreciated.— Rod talk 21:02, 17 December 2009 (UTC)
Rodw asked me to take a look at this article with an eye on a future FAC, so I'll post my thoughts here on each section as I go through it. Malleus Fatuorum 15:39, 13 January 2011 (UTC)
In the light of this bit of news I would suggest that the drainage section needs updating. -- Simple Bob a.k.a. The Spaminator ( Talk) 13:32, 19 January 2011 (UTC)
The lead image isn't very good. Unfortunately the levels only form the foreground of the picture and the other half is dominated by a ridge that is anything but level I had a quick look on WIkimedia commons and couldn't see anything immediate, but there has to be a better image somewhere that we can use, ideally something that shows the levels going of for miles. -- Simple Bob a.k.a. The Spaminator ( Talk) 08:47, 3 March 2011 (UTC)
The article currently says "A Palaeolithic flint tool found in West Sedgemoor is the earliest indication of human presence in the area, dating from approximately 700,000 years ago." The site in question is the Westbury cave at Westbury-sub-Mendip; I don't have access to much in the way of sources, but Fairweather Eden, by Michael Pitts & Mark Roberts, Arrow Books, London, 1998, ISBN 0-09-964491-6, a book about the Boxgrove site, has a few pages on the cave. They give some details about the finds and then say that the best date for Westbury is 524,000 to 478,000 years before the present -- a round number of 500,000 is probably fine for this article. Page numbers for the reference are 121-123 and 131-132. The reason for the redating is complicated but comes down to a correlation between various dating schemes, primarily the marine isotope stages, in which Westbury is placed in OIS 13. I would also suggest referring to it as Westbury rather than West Sedgemoor -- the archaeological sources I've seen all refer to it as Westbury. Mike Christie ( talk – library) 14:46, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
The map to right is a start at a location map of the settlements. I'm not sure what villages you'd want to include - just repeat the location map~ for each of them. The base map is for Somerset as a whole, I can make one more tightly focused on the levels if preferred.
Btw, I'm not sure of the point of some of those long lists of settlement, I'd just mention the ones with some significance - saying Westonzoyland is in the Levels isn't really that important IMO.-- Nilf anion ( talk) 11:24, 13 March 2011 (UTC)
Please update the article regarding summer floods, the article describes annual winter flooding but weather pattern this year led to a summer flood. John a s ( talk) 10:47, 31 October 2012 (UTC)

The article says that the Burnham Area Rescue Boat is funded by Somerset County Council. I thought it was purchased by charitable donation & run by the RNLI. Was this particular mission/function funded by the county council? if so does anyone have a reference saying this?— Rod talk 14:42, 25 January 2014 (UTC)
Both forms are used in the article - which is preferable / used by reliable sources? Bencherlite Talk 13:08, 11 March 2014 (UTC)
What percentage of land is used for growing teazel? Unless it's a significant percentage I'm inclined to think it shouldn't be mentioned in the lead - it gives the impression it's more important than more usual arable crops. Also, with respect to teazel-growing, the article states that Fivehead is near Chard, which isn't really a credible statement. Chard isn't even in the Levels as far as I'm concerned. PaleCloudedWhite ( talk) 09:26, 13 March 2014 (UTC)
There's a good BBC News article which could provide a number of updates to this article.

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:
