Nice little article. I wikified a few technical geology and geography terms to make it more accessible. Nice work. Oh and it's so nice to see an article with an empty talk page! Pascal.Tesson 06:41, 23 July 2006 (UTC)[reply]

JPS. The images contribute significantly to the GA status and were present when it was a GA candidate. If you can replace them with something better, then that is fine. Otherwise, please leave them be. best wishes. Bob BScar23625 17:03, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ps. Just out of interest. You removed images containing either myself or my son. Yet you left the image containing my daughter. Why was that?. best wishes Bob BScar23625 17:07, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the images would contribute to the article. Unfortunately the subject of the pictures are people. Perhaps you'd like to show me a similar instance of this occurring on Wikipedia? I left the reservoir picture because the figure was less prominent (looking away from the camera, for instance). I felt that this image was the more about the landscape rather than emphasising the subjects standing within it. Knowing your appreciation of photography, perhaps have images without family subjects?

And please assume good faith. Branding genuine edits as vandalism, as you did here, is to be avoided. The JPS^{talk to me} 17:25, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

JPS. The images contribute significantly to the article. Take them in turn :

Cross Fell summit - a significant image.
Summer snow on Cross Fell North face - a significant image.
Scree slope - a significant image also used in the Scree article.
Cow Green Reservoir - a significant image setting Cross Fell in context.
Carboniferous limestone bed - a significant image that comments on geological structure of North Pennines.

The people that appear in them are incidental. If you want to go up there and take replacement images without people in them, then that is fine by me. But please replace the images, do not just remove them. best wishes. Bob BScar23625 18:28, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

ps As an aside, there was a similar discussion on the Helvellyn article, when two of my images were replaced. I have no problem with people improving on images I have inserted - but arbitrary deletion is another matter. Bob BScar23625 18:33, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

pps As a further aside, the next time there is fair weather on a weekend, I plan to go up to Cross Fell summit. If you wish, I will meet you at Kirkland and we can go up together. You can bring your camera and take pictures without people in them. Let me know. Bob BScar23625 18:46, 4 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
