Talk:Burley in Wharfedale

Hyphenation
This is copied from Matt Palmer's talk page.

... I have a minor question though, should Burley in Wharfedale definitely be hyphenated? I'm pretty sure I've seen it in various places hyphenated but my handy West Yorkshire street atlas does not hyphenate it while it's Lancastrian sister does hyphenate Clayton-le-woods for example so I take it the map editors had some reason not to hyphenate it. As councillor for the area I reckon there's a good chance you've got it right but can you provide some evidence please? MGSpiller 22:08, 11 November 2005 (UTC)

Hi - thanks - answer is I dont know - I don't think there is a definative answer. Most atlases do not hypenate (some do seem to), though this may be a matter of policy. the local railway station sign, metro guide, and route planners do. I think to/not to hypenate is more custom than anything. I simply accepted the hypenation when I clicked a link from another article (menston) and got 'this article does not exist yet', and made it consistent, but speaking to a few local residents who know these things I get very mixed messages. I certainly have no problem (or preference) either way. I belive the origin of the hypenation is usually to make it clear that the 'in wharfedale' is part of the place name and not simply a description of geogrphical location. For an encyclopedia it may, therefore, be redundant. I do not hypenate it in normal use. Matt Palmer 19:05, 12 November 2005 (UTC)

Name
There is a difference between the Village of Burley in Wharfedale and the civil parish of Burley. the parish also covers other settlements, including Burley in Woodhead. Burley in Wharfedale does not. As this article relates to the village of Burley in Wharfedale, can I suggest it's name be changed back to the correct name for the village, and if necessary a seperate page created for the Parish of Burley? —Preceding unsigned comment added by Matt Palmer (talk • contribs) 20:35, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * Done. I have had to undo a lot of this users non consensus page moves in the past. Jeni  ( talk )(Jenuk1985) 21:38, 11 July 2009 (UTC)
 * What about all the information relating to the civil parish in the article? eg population. Plus the parish of Burley, West Yorkshire now incorrectly points to just Burley in Warfedale, what about Burley Woodhead? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.148.182.168 (talk) 08:51, 12 July 2009 (UTC)
