[edit] Scottish waterways

The section on Scottish waterways is in my opinion totally inadequate but before I edit it, I have a few style queries. I believe that where a river drains into a firth of the same name (eg the River Forth draining into the Firth of Forth), there should only be one entry in the list of waterways. Would it be a good idea to get around this by putting different waterway types under different headings, or should duplicate entries remain? Also, would it be a good idea to have a seperate page detailing the rivers by length? -- DWeir

Firth of Forth and Forth are not duplicate entries as they describe two different things. I don't think they should be removed. See also Firth - this is a page dealing with a specific type of waterway. The canals and navigations are already listed separately. "Rivers by length" could be a separate page under List of waterways. Renata 21:21 Jan 3, 2003 (UTC)

[edit] Page moved

Have moved incomplete canal listing to a new page of its own similar to the UK rivers page. 194.168.3.18 10:54, 23 Aug 2004 (UTC)

[edit] Project proposal

I prose a Waterways of the United Kingdom project (along the lines of the UK Railways Project). Please add your support at Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Proposals#Waterways of the United Kingdom. Andy Mabbett 14:14, 13 April 2007 (UTC)
