Talk:Pickering, North Yorkshire

Untitled
The Pickering Guide link leads to a very good site but it's not Wiki page. I'd like to do a makeover of this page, please. Any comments ?Harkey Lodger 18:46, 5 January 2007 (UTC) ooops! I meant Pickering, North Yorkshire. Sorry. Harkey Lodger 18:53, 5 January 2007 (UTC)

Work in Progress
The Pickering, North Yorkshire, page needs more work yet. I am continuing to research "climate" and "nearby places" and have yet to add images but put the text on to encourage others!! Harkey Lodger 15:30, 12 January 2007 (UTC)

Moved accommodation section as it seemed to be requesting commercial use of the site that was inappropriate to a factual article.--Harkey Lodger 13:51, 2 February 2007 (UTC)

Advertising and links
The addition of the Wayside Caravan Park link and the Accommodation section are personal advertising. Should these be removed to Wikitravel as a more appropriate site?--Harkey Lodger 18:03, 27 February 2007 (UTC)

Removed advertising and links for personal gain as these were an inappropriate use of the article.--Harkey Lodger 09:36, 15 April 2007 (UTC)

City ?
I've just noticed the "City" tag. Pickering is by no means a city. May I remove this?--Harkey Lodger (talk) 21:39, 11 February 2008 (UTC)


 * I assume you mean the project WikiProject Cities as the article mentions it is a town. The WikiProject Cities covers all sorts of settlement not just cities if you read the initial statement on the project page or the template above so I think it should stay.

 * I see what you mean!! O.K. technically, as far ar Wikipedia is concerned, but somewhat misleading in the colloquial sense of the word. Nothing to get bothered about[[Image:Smiley.svg|20px]]--Harkey Lodger (talk) 21:59, 11 February 2008 (UTC)

Layout
Any change of adopting the WP:UKTOWNS layout at somepoint down the line? :) --Jza84 | Talk  21:31, 18 June 2008 (UTC)
 * Altered the order of the sections to come more in line with WP:UKTOWNS. The text is a bit dated now as well so I'll give it a bit of TLC ASAP--Harkey (talk) 15:59, 19 June 2008 (UTC)

Toponymy?
I was surprised to find none -- but then my on-line search came up empty too, until I found this:

"an Old English group name Piceringas meaning ‘the people of a man named Pīcer’.

"Source: Dictionary of American Family Names 2nd edition, 2022"

Should this be added with a reference to the on-line source, or to the dictionary that the source itself cites? Bibliosporias (talk) 12:08, 21 December 2022 (UTC)
