Talk:List of lord mayors of York

Relevance?
How is the rather vague claim that "It is often claimed that the king wished to make York capital of England, but this is largely discounted by modern historians" relevant to the subject of the Lord Mayors of that city? And which king are they talking about? HrafnTalkStalk(P) 18:59, 24 April 2011 (UTC)

Additionally, how is the City of York Council's appointment of a Sheriff relevant? HrafnTalkStalk(P) 06:43, 29 April 2011 (UTC)

Jargon
Could somebody please explain what the following phrases mean: If not, I'm proposing eliminating this material as doing nothing more than confusing the reader. HrafnTalkStalk(P) 18:38, 7 January 2012 (UTC)
 * "confirmed to non-metropolitan district"
 * "reconfirmed by letters patent to unitary authority"
