replies: text: The mark-up using the large vertical bar makes the list difficult to read, use of a bullet mark would be better or leave as is with the comma delimiter Keith D 19:51, 1 September 2007 (UTC)

thread_title: A

message: I know that "places" is ambiguous, but surely including monuments, buildings, railway stations, schools, and natural features etc. is a bit of a stretch (although I would acknowledge that there are some exceptional cases; I also think that historical fortifications that were once inhabited i.e. Furness Abbey and Ambleside Roman Fort should remain, and the islands should too). I would propose that any area with multiple dwellings and a name should be considered a place. In addition to this, it must be either isolated (a number of these places are farms with a few houses dotted around, but their isolation clearly defines them as independent areas) and/or independent, self-sufficient, or widely recognized as existing in its own right (key example would be Roose, which is technically a suburb of Barrow, but appears on maps etc. independently).

replies: text: I've been wondering about that because I noticed a hill (Yarlside) included, but I don't want to remove it because there might be another Yarlside that is a "place".  Dbfirs 20:08, 9 May 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Hi, I know this is an exceptionally long time in which to respond (I haven't visited this page in years, and am still none the wiser!) - apart from the hill there's a Yarlside Road and school in Barrow. I'll probably delete it. Yohan euan o4 (talk) 01:13, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: That's OK, I'm still wondering.  There are absolutely no houses on the hill Yarlside, and usually no people, not even walkers.  I know because I've climbed it, and there's nothing there but sheep!  Dbfirs 08:01, 7 April 2013 (UTC)
