Stub	This article has been rated as Stub-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
Mid	This article has been rated as Mid-importance on the project's importance scale.

The dimensions are (1) clearly wrong, since the bank is longer in E-W than N-S, and (2) in an unkown unit called "miles". If it is statute miles then it is inappropriate, but nautical miles is ok, it just should be said that it is nautical miles. The appropriate SI unit would be km.

Miles is by no means unknown to a significant percentage of English speakers. 65.167.146.130 (talk) 17:09, 21 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Dogger Bank itch

I removed this from the "see also" but there appears to be enough material for an article. - brenneman 07:58, 10 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Name

Anyone know what Dogger refers to? Why is it called that? Cheers, Lindsay^Hi 03:01, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why don't you look it up in Wikipedia? They even have an article on the Dogger Bank! It says: "from dogge, an old Dutch word for fishing boat". (I also missed it at first.) Cheers. Hans Adler 13:09, 14 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. Guess it's official! I'm going daft ~ how did i miss the opening phrase of the article? Cheers, Lindsay^Hi 05:33, 15 July 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Cricket match

I understand there is something of a tradition for some cricketers to go out and play cricket on it during exceptionally low tides. 92.15.10.209 (talk) 14:59, 26 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

I don't believe that any part of the Dogger Bank is sufficiently exposed even at the lowest tides to allow this, but similar games were or are held on the Goodwin Sands off Kent and on Bramble Bank in the Solent. {The poster formerly known as 87.81.230.195}
