I removed a link to Ingleton (the town) as it bears no relevance to gaping gill apart from being a nearby town. Links should be relevant to the article extraordinary 12:20, 30 March 2006 (UTC)[reply]

One of the WikiBots has flagged the claim that GGMC is the "second largest in Britain" as needing a citation. It's actually a fairly sticky claim - by "largest", do you mean tallest, largest plan area (at which level?), greatest volume? And does anyone have the corresponding figures for Mud Hall, Titan, some of the big holes in South Wales? Dinorwic? Very thorny claim to be going around making.

In the info box, it says that the length of Gaping Gill is 11.6 km, and that the depth is 105 m. If the length is the length of the total system, shouldn't the depth be the depth of the system, rather than the depth of the shaft? The depth of the system is currently 198 m depth reached by diving in Deep Well.

It is obviously a significant point, as Gaping Gill is the deepest system in Yorkshire.

The length is probably underestimated by at least 1.5 kilometres, as it doesn't take into consideration the several hundred metres dived by John Cordingley in Ingleborough Cave, the new Deep Well dives, the Hensler's Pot and Corky's passages, the Near Country, the Lost River Series, and the additional distance dived in Deep Well.

Having removed this link once on the grounds that it seemed to contribute nothing to the article, it was reinstated without comment. I took advice from Keith D, who agreed that it would be better removed. Rather than playing ping-pong with the edit, I would like to suggest that the editor justifies its inclusion, and then we can have a sensible discussion. --Langcliffe (talk) 13:27, 15 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]
