message: There are a wide range of images of the canal on geograph search which are licensed under creative commons and therefore a selection could be used to illustrate the article. If you click the "Interested in sharing this image" link on any Geograph picture page, it takes you to another page which gives you code that can be pasted directly into Wikimedia Commons. The code includes all the author information, the coordinates and the geograph template. As an example, look at the re-use page for this photo. Scroll down to Wikipedia and you can copy/paste the code directly into the basic upload form on Wikimedia Commons.— Rod talk 19:46, 5 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Images of Bridgwater and Taunton Canal 

message: Does anyone have a source for the reasons there is no connection to the Parrett? The salt water/fresh water wildlife problem does not seem to make much sense. Hardcastle suggests it is to do with silting. Bob1960evens (talk) 08:45, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Taunton's Waterways from Taunton & district civic society says "the lock at Bridgwater Docks has been put out of use to prevent silt from the river clogging up the canal".— Rod talk 16:20, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Source for no Parrett connection

message: Do we have any sources which say what the Demolition chambers under the bridge were for? They are mentioned in the pic caption but not in the text.— Rod talk 16:12, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
replies: text: Answered my own question & added to article.— Rod talk 16:30, 11 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Demolition chambers  

message: First mentioned in the History section, and frequently mentioned thereafter: the mysterious "Conservators" of the River Tone. But who or what are they? Despite their apparent importance to this article we know nothing of their origins, history, scope and influence, so a bit more explantion is needed here.

thread_title:  "Conservators"? 

message: I was going to add a subsection about the Somerset Space Walk, near Maunsel Locks, but I realised that it would make more sense as a standalone article to which I could link from here (and thus maintain the focus of this article). Currently it is under development in my sandbox.
If you have any pictures, these would be welcome as I only have access to the two currently at Geograph: one of the Sun (which is obscured by a bush!) and Jupiter -- I could do to have one of (eg) Earth instead... (The Geograph images are due to be uploaded to Commons soon, but I cannot do so from work any more!)
Also, any text describing the sculptures, beyond what is available in the downloadable pdf leaflet, is hard to come by. If you know what they are made of (for example) then that information would also be useful.

replies: text: You could ask the owner of the pics at Wheeler family or Taunton Daily Photos (according to that site the scale is one in 53,000,000 ). — Rod talk 19:33, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title:  Somerset Space Walk 

message: Something does not look quite right with the ref to the sluice being in the western fringe and near the Bridgwater Canalside Centre. If it is near the Centre, (and it looks to be an obvious place to have a sluice) I think it is the southern fringe. Anyone know which is right? Bob1960evens (talk) 06:51, 25 October 2008 (UTC)
thread_title: Discharge to River Parrett

message: Anyone seen this news release from British Waterways?
:British Waterways declares axis of weevil in biological warfare - 4 Aug 2010
They were planning to release these weevils in Maunsel Lock.
