Table

Latest comment: 9 years ago4 comments2 people in discussion

The recent addition of the table was a much needed improvement to this article, can I suggest that it could improved further if the images were also incorporated as well. See trial below. It would be a big task to alter the table, so wanted to check here first...Jokulhlaup (talk) 13:59, 8 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Images and range now added to the table. The ones from the Isle of Man have been removed as they have their own table...Jokulhlaup (talk) 15:06, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

I think you've done a good job. I was basically lazy not adding photos; ranges are a bit more difficult as they are changing as navigational equipment improves and I was a bit concerned about table width (but combining area and coordinates helps). But it helps to be able to compare across countries. Chris55 (talk) 21:47, 27 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Thanks for the kind comments, hopefully adding the photos will inspire some more articles. Adding the ranges nearly didn't happen due to the width issue, and in the time needed to collate the figures. There is also the problem of multiple ranges for different colours, I just used whichever was the greatest, which was usually white...Jokulhlaup (talk) 15:56, 29 July 2015 (UTC)Reply

Built or designed?

Would column 6 more accurately be described as "Designed by"? Or is "Built by" more appropriate? — Martin (MSGJ · talk) 15:04, 5 March 2021 (UTC)Reply
