Etymology[edit]

Survey of English Placenames (online) thinks the "kelf" element in the name makes more sense if it is understood as "skelf" as in other similar names (e.g.Raskelf). which suggests the current word "shelf" i.e a piece of flat land above water - which certainly is a feature of its site - which belonged to a Scandinavian named Ulf. Presumably a calf could still have grazed there but would not have been a permanent featureDelahays (talk) 19:36, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Oxford Dictionary of British Place Names by A.D.Mills says "shelf or ledge of a man named Ulfr" (and says, in its glossary, that "skelf" is "shelf of level ground"), which is very like the source you found. The calf thing was added in this edit, the edit summary of which is "Kelf does not translate from any of the modern scandinavian languages so I tried Icelandic using google translate". That's etymological nonsense, and utter original research. I'll change it to what Mills says; if you can add a ref to the source you found, as corroboration, that would be valuable addition. Good catch in noticing this. -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 21:31, 4 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

A Touch of Frost[edit]

We really should have a proper reliable source for the claim that A Touch of Frost was filmed here. The IMDb page makes that claim also, but Wikipedia:Reliable sources/Perennial sources#IMDb notes that IMDb is generally not considered to be a reliable source. If someone as access to a copy of the episode, and the production credits in the episode support this, that should be acceptable per WP:PSTS (it's a plain fact requiring no analysis, and it's not contentious). -- Finlay McWalter··–·Talk 00:56, 5 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]
