I think this list needs a proper definition- the title says it's a list of places, the heading says it's a list of settlements, now it seems to be a list of articles about geographical entities in Derbyshire. There's a list of placenames here [1] the size of which seems to me to make a convincing argument against including every known Derbyshire placename in this list, so some of the red links could usefully be deleted.

I agree that quite a few red links could be deleted, and I've made a start with letters A and B. I've lived in Derbyshire for many years, and I haven't come acroos many of the red links. However, it is useful to collect links to what you call geographical entities.Renata (talk) 12:57, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
By geographical entities I mean railways, railway stations, rivers, canals and other damp patches of Derbyshire. There's probably a better term for this. I suggest that if this list is going to include notable railway stations, rivers, canals and suchlike it be renamed something other than List of Places.

Most lists of places confine themselves to cities, towns and villages, or use an umbrella word like "settlements". I think that railway stations, rivers, etc should be in separate lists of railway stations, rivers, etc. And I am not convinced that adding images, attractive as they are, really helps. By their nature images tend to be of things rather than of places - it's hard to get an image which convincingly shows a place (as defined above). Peter I.

It would be nice to photograph places from a height of about 80 to 100 feet (as kite photographers do)- I think that would capture some of the spirit of place. Ning-ning (talk) 21:20, 14 July 2008 (UTC)[reply]
