Assessment[edit]

I feel article is is now the new C grade as; Has photos, Ibox and refs, and gives a concise description, am uprating it To C status - BulldozerD11 (talk) 18:46, 6 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]

More detail ?[edit]

River Dove Cap - is it possible to give a little more detail on this? eg Is it for the river below Ashbourne? Linuxlad 08:23, 2 Feb 2005 (UTC)

I'm gunna be getting some images of the river soon to improve the article. - Erebus555 13:18, 14 August 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I always think that the wooded stretch north of the stepping stones is a finer view than that to the south - any hope?? Bob aka Linuxlad 20:06, 3 September 2006 (UTC)[reply]

East Midlands[edit]

Is anything gained by saying the river is 'in the East Midlands' For one thing it isn't (half the river is in Staffs) - for another the concept is hardly relevant that far over and up in the Peac (sic) District. Bob aka Linuxlad 20:31, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I just find it odd that it's half in Derbs and half in Staffs, and the title is River Dove, Derbyshire. Could change it back to Midlands. AxG ۝۝۝҈ ^►^talk_►_guests 20:35, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I see someone has changed the title.... there are dozens of refs to this on the English, French and commons wikipedia as being "River Dove, Derbyshire". The pictures of the river had stopped working (Ive fixed them). Exactly how many miles does this river flow outside Derbyshire? ... Sorry, I think the change has achieved very little apart from creating the need for repairs. Changes are meant to improve the wiki. Pleased to see it was discussed here first.

Length[edit]

The article says 40 miles; the infobox 45. Which is correct? Andy Mabbett (User:Pigsonthewing); Andy's talk; Andy's edits 09:41, 22 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

New sections[edit]

I have added a couple of new sections, so that there is something about the Dove other than Dovedale. Jokulhlaup (talk) 17:49, 5 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]

River Dove[edit]

The 'springs of Dove' is a line from the William Wordsworth poem, 'she dwelt among the untrodden ways' I thought that would be worthy of a mention. 80.6.84.94 (talk) 09:30, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Length (again)[edit]

A figure is given in the infobox for the length of the Dove (72km / 45 miles) but no source is given for that figure. Due to this uncertainty I have, as with some other watercourses where dubious lengths have been asserted, painstakingly measured its length on online 1:25,000 scale OS mapping using a digital tool and determined it at 93.1km / 57.9 miles - I'd be confident of the accuracy of the figure to within less than 1%. The current figure then appears to be significantly inaccurate. All of this is of course original research on my part so cannot be included in the article but it does at least give an idea of what a true figure should look like if and when an editor finds a suitable reference out there! cheers Geopersona (talk) 11:43, 3 December 2021 (UTC)[reply]
