message: In the infobox we have 'Civil parish – Keswick'.
This is sourced to an archived version of the Keswick Town Council's homepage, but 'parish' is not mentioned there, nor on the current homepage. 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, and the other  redirects to an ONS search page.
So we need a better source. I have found two: A Vision of Britian and Lake District National Park. 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)
replies: text: , thank you very much for this. Your tweaks are much appreciated, and I'll do my damnedest to clarify the relationship between the civil parish and the town council – though if you can add anything more, please do. Tim riley talk 18:45, 30 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: I can't find anything more on this, alas, and I can only think to leave it as it is unless anyone else finds better info. Tim riley talk 16:04, 8 August 2019 (UTC)

message: 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. ,  and . Should England be included as English is not a country? DragonofBatley (talk) 20:39, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "English" isn't just a noun for a language, it's also an adjective meaning "in, of or from England".  Personally, I have a slight preference for "town in ... England" over "English ... town", but it's not worth arguing over, and "English ... town in ... England" sounds terrible. -- Dr Greg  talk  21:06, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: I concur with Dr Greg. "An English town in England" is silly. I think the version  that was agreed at FAC is sensible. Tim riley talk 21:15, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: "England" I thought was standard, indeed "English" is more ambiguous, such as with the language (or people) though "in the English county of Cumbria" seems to also be acceptable. Crouch, Swale (talk)  21:20, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: Oh, and just clocked the snide mention of WP:OWN, above − not very civil and miles away from WP:AGF. Tim riley talk 21:21, 9 May 2022 (UTC)
replies: text: No, I saw that too and thought it inappropriate. :( DBaK (talk) 07:23, 10 May 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Removing England (ongoing reversion) 

message: 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?
