Any one got a verifiable WP:V source for "Lisa Drabble whom inspired Monty Python to create 'The Drabble' - an extremely short work of fiction with exactly 100 words" Billlion 21:25, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
This comment on my change of caption from "Panoramic view of Buxton from the top of Peak District." to "Panoramic view of Buxton." was posted on my talk-page, but I think the discussion would be better here -- VinceBowdren 14:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC) :
I'm afraid you're misunderstanding what the Peak district is. It is not a district centred on a particular peak, but the name of a large area with a number of high hills (few of which have distinct peaks as such); so it doesn't really make sense to say that a particular point is the 'top of peak district'. The highest point in the peak district is on Kinder Scout, but that is some distance away and Buxton is certainly not visible from there. I don't know Buxton too well myself, but comparing the photo against a map I would guess that it was taken from a hill just south of Buxton - perhaps Grinlow? That has a tower on it certainly. -- VinceBowdren 14:29, 14 March 2007 (UTC)

The article has been written in good faith, but to demonstrate what still may be required, at least one section has been tagged inline for lack of required verifiable information. This is in no way intended as a criticism, and should be regarded as flagging of areas that need attention. Wikipedians with local knowledge of reliable sources, or with access to local libraries may be able to help improve this article.-- Kudpung ( talk) 15:17, 30 June 2009 (UTC)
One source that might be useful is [1]. Part One in particular gives a pretty good history of Buxton. Paulbrock ( talk) 08:24, 1 July 2009 (UTC)
I am struggling to find any good references relating to Buxton's industrial/trading estates, other than providing references to individual companies within the estates (clumsy, time consuming and with potential huge fan-out) or refer to a general listing source such as Thompsons Local Directory or the phone book (very clumsy). As they are significant in the local economy, I feel it is important that they are noted. Any suggestions? WhaleyTim ( talk) 07:50, 23 September 2010 (UTC)
I've looked for definitive references for this. The only one that looks authoritative is the English Heritage listing [2]. This refers to springs in the plural:
"Buxton is the site of the shrine of St Ann, a popular place of pilgrimage in the medieval period. The shrine and associated mineral springs...."
I think we should assume that there are several points at which water emerges from the ground. Furthermore, any spout designed for public consumption will have piping installed going back up the water channel for some distance, to reduce the risk of bacterial contamination from the surface. The question seems to be which end of that pipe do we count as the "source"? Without a definitive reference saying where this pipe comes from, I think all we can say is that spring water emerges at St Anns well, and unless anybody objects, I shall amend the text to say this.
