King George III died in 1820. See his entry. Prestonjohn (talk) 22:56, 18 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I couldn't figure out what you were talking about at first. You were referring to the last paragraph. I removed the "...although this cannot be true as the King died before the White Horse was carved." and tagged the left over bit. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 03:42, 19 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Updated image - the wife took this a few days ago, better quality I think Retrodouggy (talk) 22:49, 31 August 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Challenge Anneka[edit]

Is this important enough to mention on this article? Is it due weight? --John (talk) 07:07, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I would say definately Yes. Much of the early work in the recent reconstruction for the 2012 Olympics was undoing the botch-up done during the Challenge Anneka episode, so it has more relevance than just being the subject of an obscure TV programme. Nigej (talk) 07:16, 5 November 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I agree with Nigej. Both Challenge Anneka and Anneka Rice have their own articles, so the botched work wasn't carried out by otherwise non-notable individuals, and the problem remained an issue two decades later. In addition, Rodney Legg, the historian quoted in the article's new source as saying "What they did was a bit of a do-it-yourself garden landscaping when really they should have used a proper civil engineer. It's a whole acre of exposed geology and they did a quick fix for the cameras, but they should never have brought in that stone", is notable in his own right; he published 125 books (mostly about Dorset history and landscape), was Chair of the Open Spaces Society, founded the magazine which was to become today's Dorset Life, and his recent death resulted in obituaries by the BBC, The Guardian and The Telegraph.
