Talk:Kirkbymoorside

Spelling Kirby(k)moorside The second 'k' is optional. It has only crept in recently. Either spelling is acceptable.

Kirbymoorside or Kirkbymoorside either spelling is acceptable to the Yorkshire Evening Press which uses both apparently indiscrimately.


 * 1) Fred Slingsby didn't use the k in the names of two of his gliders
 * 2) the k has only crept in in the last few years
 * 3) it was never spelt with the k in the 19th and early 20th century references that I found
 * 4) some local organisations use one spelling and some use the other
 * 5) no one I know pronounces the k

I'm not surprised that the railway station spelt it with one 'k'. It had been there a long time.

In 1282 it was referred to as 'Kirkeby Moresheved'. That confounded 'k' keeps comming and going. ..... mikeL

Help

The entry has recently been altered (anonymously by 81:107:156:175) to say that the single 'k' spelling is wrong. It is not wrong. The reasons are given above. We need an entry under 'Kirbymoorside' and one under 'Kirkbymoorside' with appropriate redirection.

Will some kind registered user please oblige ? 82.38.97.206 11:57, 25 December 2005 (UTC)mikeL

Kirkbymoorside is always now spelled with two 'k's. Kirbymoorside is archaic and has not been used in any capacity since before 1984. Mjefm 13:59, 27 March 2006 (UTC), a resident.

hello Mjefm Your assertion that the single k spelling 'has not been used in any capacity tsince before 1984 ' is not correct. The Airlife Publishing Ltd. used it in 1996 and I have just found it used recently  on local newspaper sites. My earlier comments still apply. Moreover you give no references to substantiate your statement that it 'is considered archaic '. I'm sorry the reference to Slingsbys has been removed as a resident you might have been proud of them.

As a registered user, will you please make an entry for 'Kirbymoorside' with redirection so that anyone who tries to look up what you consider to be the wrong spelling will end up in the right place.82.38.97.206 09:13, 7 April 2006 (UTC)mikeL

history section - copyright violation
I've removed the History section as it appears to have been cut and pasted from http://www.kirbymoorsidetoday.co.uk/ViewArticle2.aspx?SectionID=2714&ArticleID=1191639 and to be a breach of copyright. You can use the facts from a published source, but not their choice of words to express those facts. See WP:Copyrights PamD 10:29, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

Bus services
Another contributor has removed, several times, part of an edit relating to government policy resulting in the closure of bus services to the town, claiming it as a point of view. The Moorsbuses were begun and operated as a 'green' initiative throughout their history. When a government claims that it will be ' the greenest government ever' and then acts in a way that leads directly to removal of a green initiative then it is not a point of view but is a factual statement that should not be edited out. I will edit the words to read 'contradictory'.

If you can find a good source that says that and provide the reference, you're welcome to criticize the government. I'd say a "good source" in this case would be a local councillor or resident, quoted, say, in a local paper. Anyway, thanks for your work on this page. Bmcln1 (talk) 17:07, 19 September 2013 (UTC)

 * City Population site is generally reliable. There may be a problem with defining the extent of Kirkbymoorside, but that's only a guess. Bmcln1 (talk) 15:08, 8 January 2021 (UTC)
