Talk:Richmond, North Yorkshire

Where is Fresh Radio actually based?
Is it Richmond? I think it's Skipton (postal address on the freshradio website...) Sorry to be picky! —Preceding unsigned comment added by Paul-T (talk • contribs) 21:42, 13 March 2006 (UTC)

Scotton
Whilst I was reverting some vandalism, I also removed the edit listing Scotton as a nearby settlement, this was intentional, I assume the contributor was referring to Scotton near Catterick Garrison, but there's no Wikipedia entry for there so it could lead to confusion with Scotton, Harrogate which is not nearby at all. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Hotcrocodile (talk • contribs) 21:37, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * You may be looking for Scotton, Richmondshire. Keith D (talk) 22:26, 5 March 2009 (UTC)


 * Smashing, thanks for that, I will add it to the list. Hotcrocodile (talk) 22:55, 5 March 2009 (UTC)

Banish Hoffman
Also born in Richmond, North Yorkshire was Dr. Banish Hoffman, physicist who worked with Einstein to develop the equations of motion in relativity. He was a teacher of mine at Queens College, NYC. See his page in Wikipedia.65.9.90.163 (talk) 18:01, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * That's possibly a good addition, but Wikipedia is not a source in itself, and a cursory google doesn't reveal any reliable source that he comes from Richmond, North Yorkshire. The only evidence seems to be from the Wikipedia article on him. Do you know that there are two Richmonds in the UK? Cheers Farrtj (talk) 19:29, 6 May 2011 (UTC)
 * In fact, this source: reveals that he came from the Richmond in Surrey, the son of a London tailor, he grew up near here: [] Farrtj (talk) 19:34, 6 May 2011 (UTC)

History section
I don't whether it's been vandalized (by the article history, it does seems to have been like this for quite a while) but it's absolute gibberish. A lot of it is just nonsense (the "independent" Richmond, Laws in Wales Acts, Mercia/Edwin etc) but mostly the English is just unintelligible. I'm going to change it in 2 stages: firstly, cut out the obvious rubbish and turn the language into English. Secondly (when I have a bit more time) re-write and expand it with sourced content. (There's no sourcing at the moment - well there couldn't be as a lot of it is pure fiction.) DeCausa (talk) 22:02, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Stage 1 completed = don't know when I can do stage 2. DeCausa (talk) 22:25, 2 January 2013 (UTC)
 * Ah, found the problem. It mainly began with this edit in 2009 by an IP in Arizona that had a bad record for disruption. Most of the nonsense originates from this. Amazing that it stayed in the article this long. DeCausa (talk) 22:43, 2 January 2013 (UTC)

Local government
The Local government section needs clarifying. The text mentions "Richmond Central" while the reference has "Richmond North". The southerly section covered by Hipswell ward appears not to contribute members to the town council as that only indicates from 3 wards not 4. If it does not elect councillors is it really part of Richmond? Keith D (talk) 21:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)


 * Thanks for the reclassification Keith, I'm happy to provide sources for the wards when I have proper desktop access in an hour or so. I think what I was trying to get at is that parts of the town of Richmond are not covered by a Richmond named ward, the railway station and Holly Hill are certainly considered as part of Richmond, but if it were easier that this info was removed then that's okay! Any extra tips to try and reach B Class would be appreciated as that was what I was aiming for. :) Cacolantern 11:55, 24 May 2020 (UTC)
