[edit] Title

Shouldn't the title be "Winter of 1946-1947 in the United Kingdom"? Ekem (talk) 20:02, 23 November 2008 (UTC)

Sorry, must have missed this. The article was originally at "British Winter of 1946-67" but the consensus was to change this to just "winter of..." to match some existing precedents. Many thanks - Dumelow (talk) 23:50, 30 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Copenhagen

Copenhagen is in Denmark, not the Netherlands.--Grahame (talk) 00:40, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

Doh! Good catch. An IP seems to have corrected that section anyway. Thanks - Dumelow (talk) 08:26, 24 November 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Image in lead

While it is a nice image of the winter's impact (and this article needs images,) it's not of fair use internationally. This alone would sink its GA nomination. Either obtain permission to use this image in this article from Weather, or prove more thoroughly that the image is of fair use. Thegreatdr (talk) 23:26, 11 January 2009 (UTC)

I have had a good look for images of the impact of this winter and have been unable to find any free use ones. Permission for this one is not likely to be gained but I will have a look around for others who I might be able to contact to get permission. Hopefully I can find one to replace the fair use one, but I had a good look when I expanded the article and could not find any then. Otherwise the article will have to return to being imageless, cheers - Dumelow (talk) 16:48, 12 January 2009 (UTC)

Historian Alexa Richie says there were 12,000 deaths in Berlin in the winter of 1946-47. I'd like to believe the 150 figure but it doesn't seem likely. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 65.96.193.85 (talk) 00:59, 12 March 2011 (UTC)
