Kingston upon Hull
Hi, I think we have addressed all of the issues from review now apart from the dead reference. Also may be the sentence before it which has a "due to be" in it which I cannot seem to find out when this is to take place. May be worth a try for GA now, any thoughts? Keith D (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * The review was done late today and I will not have time to do anything about it before I go away tomorrow. I have left a note on the reviewers talk page to see if they can hold off failing it. The only point to address is the tramway section which may be just a remove and add the link to the article somewhere else. Keith D (talk) 22:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Good news that this was passed while I was away, thanks for keeping an eye on it. Sorry for protecting my talk page I hit the wrong box should have only been move protection not edit protection. Keith D (talk) 00:14, 31 May 2009 (UTC)

Newsletter
Any chance of writing something for the newsletter as I probably will not get the chance as I am away from Friday next week. I have started the page with the basic bits. Keith D (talk) 13:03, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes, of course I can. I have nothing in mind at the moment but inspiration will come!--Harkey (talk) 14:41, 15 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Just a reminder as I am away from tomorrow and have left a hole for your input Keith D (talk) 22:49, 21 May 2009 (UTC)

Hull Daily Mail
Hi, just to let you know that I have located an archive of the Hull Daily Mail articles, thanks to the Grimsby Telegraph site which is by the same organisation. May be this will remove some of the dead links that we have around the various East Riding of Yorkshire & Kingston upon Hull articles. If you are interested then see here. Keith D (talk) 18:25, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * Yes that's great. ...but still no Cottingham roller coaster. [[Image:Wink.gif|px10]]--Harkey (talk) 18:37, 31 May 2009 (UTC)


 * On the roller coaster, I saw an almost identical claim being removed as per this diff earlier today. The user adding it was an IP with only a single edit, I was thinking it may be the same person - still 3 days of watchlist to go! Keith D (talk) 21:09, 1 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like it was added all over the place just got to another here. Keith D (talk) 23:05, 2 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Seems like the anon editor is a silly blogger. Cottingham doesn't even have a 'Festival Garden', see here:- Village street map, never mind a roller coaster ;), though they did hold a large music festival spread around the village in May 2008. As for the Lincoln university claim I reckon the closest you will get to that is paragraph three on this website page:- Lincoln University. :0) Richard Harvey (talk) 07:58, 3 June 2009 (UTC)

Leeds City Region
RE your message on my talk page. See this diff:- by Yunchy Richard Harvey (talk) 07:23, 1 June 2009 (UTC)

Hi Just spotted the last round of editing. Between us we seem to be getting there, despite the unhelpful anon editors, but I would still like to see the title moved to a more descriptive one. Mostly to indicate it is an economic partnership, as opposed to a merger of the various cities and borough's in the region as a single Unitary Authority. Perhaps this time we could try it with 'Partnership' added to the end. ;) Richard Harvey (talk) 16:56, 4 June 2009 (UTC)

Yorkshire and Humber
While looking at the Yorkshire and Humber article I spotted the red link for Kingston upon Hull Urban Area with a slightly larger population that Kingston upon Hull. Any idea what this is and what extra bit it includes? My guess it will be Cottingham. May be we should have a stub to show what it is or some better referencing in the Yorkshire and Humber article to cover the statistics as I could not locate it in the reference following the table.

King's Manor School
Thank you so much for the note. Sorry about the slow reply - I've been away. I am very flattered by your kind comments but really I just wibble around on the fringes of those subjects a bit. I used to live up there (and loved it) but am far from knowledgeable. However, I will certainly have a look at the article and see if I can offer it any help. Best wishes DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 14:33, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Well I've had a little go. I hope it's not too drastic and that you think it's heading in roughly the right direction. Best wishes, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 09:30, 3 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thank you very much for the message. I'm glad you liked the work I was involved in on the revision. I'll try to keep a benign eye on it from a safe distance. As you said before, the previous work was clearly in good faith and I hope they'll continue to contribute. Enjoy your break, cheers, DisillusionedBitterAndKnackered (talk) 23:38, 6 June 2009 (UTC)

Aunt Sally
Just wondered if you would have a look at my musings on the discussion at WP:ENGLAND on getting experience distributed around so others can get articles improved up to GA/FA. I was thinking of putting it up as an aunt Sally just to get others thinking but wanted another opinion before making a fool of myself. May be it is rubbish but would be interested in knowing that now. Keith D (talk) 23:53, 5 June 2009 (UTC)

Infobox UK property
Hi, I removed the category from the template, as it was adding that template category to the individual pages. The categories appear in a "noinclude" section on the doc page, and the template is already in Category:United Kingdom buildings and structures templates. PamD (talk) 07:01, 7 June 2009 (UTC)

Couple of problems
Hi, as you are up in the area there is a couple of problems that you may be able to find details for. Firstly the North Yorkshire council elections. The county council web site goes into great detail but there is no summary information and the BBC web site does not appear to give details of the votes case etc. to complete the summary box. Do you know anywhere that the summary information can be sourced from? Secondly there is a problem over the location of RAF Fylingdales. There is conflicting information on Fylingdales indicating it is in the parish and another note, that I have just relocated, indicating it is not. I have left a note on the talk page but just thought that you may have sonething that will sort out the problem. Keith D (talk) 12:48, 9 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks, will keep looking. Keith D (talk) 17:44, 10 June 2009 (UTC)

Section order
Hi Harkey

I see you moved see also for York to the bottom. It is Wikipedia policy to have see also before references and external links always at the bottom.--Charles (talk) 16:28, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

York review
Not sure what you are looking for but here is a review of it without validating the references -


 * See also section is for internal wikilinks only se all entries need moving to external links section.
 * The lead is rather top heavy on history and thin on other detail as it is supposed to summarise the whole article.
 * Population figures are not explained/referenced apart from in another wiki article
 * Population figures appear in lead and not in rest of text. All facts in lead should appear somewhere in article.
 * Nickname "Old Duke" not referenced
 * Governance - Parliamentary constituencies does not indicate which MP in infobox ties in with which constituency & what is the political completion of the areas. Think this is lacking in Kingston upon Hull article, Manchester covers it in a sub-article.
 * In lead the bit about The province of York does not indicate we are talking C of E.
 * AD mostly appears before the date but in date range appears after date should be consistent throughout.
 * Images in Toponymy, Modern history & Gastronomy need moving as per MOS:IMAGES no left aligned images following three or lower level headings.
 * The paragraph "Jorvik was gradually ..."" does not make sense. We get to Yarke in the 17th century then somehow go back in time to 13th century when we are at York.
 * An older, and no longer accepted, theory ..." by who and unreferenced
 * "The first Minster church was built in York for the baptism of Edwin in 627." is unreferenced.
 * Post conquest, first paragraph says "either side of the river" which river Ouse or Foss?
 * Post conquest, second paragraph is unreferenced
 * In Tudor and Stuart York the word barbican probably need explaining or a link given.
 * In modern history the dates of establishment of the National Railway Museum and opening of the University of York are unreferenced.
 * The Areas of York main article appears to be misplaced should in be under Geography?
 * In Geography the images are causing the edit links to bunch need to fix-up see WP:BUNCH.
 * Population table may need splitting as needs left right scrolling, may be my window size.
 * Religion are you sure of the detail here, picking 1 are random Quakers having 3 meeting houses. Looks like at least 4 from the reference. Though it is dependant on if we are talking York or City of York here.
 * The Buddhist claim is very woolly and are we talking York or City of York for around York.
 * Economy - first 2 sentences unreferenced.
 * Reference 59 is marked as a dead link
 * CPP needs a link, may be one for Virgin Galactic as well.
 * Transport is confusing to me depending on if we are talking York or City of York
 * In Transport Leeds Bradford Airport appears both hyphenated & unhyphenated which is it?
 * Transport last paragraph is confusing knowing which is an operator and which is a destination.
 * Education - the number of schools does not add up 55 mentioned but 40 + 11 get me to 51. Is the merged one counted as 1 or 2 in the figures?
 * Public services - should the link to Selby be to the town or district article?
 * Fire & rescue is the grammar right there - should it be "headquarters is at Northallerton"?
 * Most of Theatre and the Music sections are unreferenced.
 * Gastronomy last sentence needs combining in with paragraph somehow.
 * Sport - "York Wasps one of oldest rugby league clubs" cries out for a reference. Other bits of the section need references.
 * Noted York people - do we need both entries as one redirects to the other?
 * Navbox for Hanseatic League present but no mention of why in the text.
 * Some of the references need italics for titles on books.

Hopefully it is not too bad but attempting to do it as though I know nothing about the subject. May be I will take cover now. Keith D (talk) 00:06, 13 June 2009 (UTC)


 * I have marked some more references as dead, also fixed-up some using archive versions. Keith D (talk) 18:53, 15 June 2009 (UTC)


 * Looks like you have addressed my thoughts from read through. May be we should have an outside view with a formal peer review of the article before a stab at GA. Someone who does not know the place may spot things that I may overlook. A possible problem may be the gallery, if it stays could do with filling in the last row with another image. Take a look at WP:IG to see if it fits in with it. Keith D (talk) 18:08, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Elections
Hi, I was doing the North Yorkshire Council elections but have had to do the gains/losses from the 2005 election as have no detail of who held the seats prior to the election. This means that the changes reported by the BBC do not stack-up. Do you know anywhere I can find the party that held each of the seats prior to the election. I assume that there was a number of by-elections between 2005 and 2009 that would account for the problems. Keith D (talk) 00:29, 17 June 2009 (UTC)

Kingston upon Hull
Do you fancy a revisit of this? I have just realised that reference 5 which is used a number of times just gives the index page and not the actual page that the information is given on. Really it needs to be modified and split to show the actual page that the detail is on. Keith D (talk) 13:19, 19 June 2009 (UTC)

Away
Hi, just to let you know I will be away from tomorrow for a fortnight so can you keep an eye on things. I think the newsletter is ready for delivery but may need an update if something happens before the end of the month. Main article needing work is Ilkley which was put on hold for GA review yesterday. The main problem identified so far is referencing, though the reviewer is sill in review mode and has not completed fully yet. I have added some references but not enough as yet. If you fancy making some stubs then I have got List of Sites of Special Scientific Interest in Humberside nearly up to Featured List status, just needs the designation ticks adding and some tidy of the sizes, but with all the red links it will not get any where. The PDF files at the end of the article could be used as the basis for a stub for each location, though they may already exist under a different name. I know some of the sites are in Lincolnshire but would be good to get another FL, the 3 other lists could be done at some point though I think the South Yorkshire one is nearly ready for FL as well.

York
Hi, if you are looking for something to do on York then reference 82 does not appear to support text in either of its usages. Needs investigating. Keith D (talk) 11:32, 20 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Thanks for helping with referencing - can you dig out one for the Media section "URY voted BBC Radio 1 Student Radio Station of the Year 2005" not covered by the reference which just covers the first part of the sentence. Keith D (talk) 22:21, 20 July 2009 (UTC)

What next
Hi, I was thinking of going for East Riding of Yorkshire as a follow on from York and then probably North Yorkshire how does that sound? I started by looking at the wapentake bits and sorted out some confusion and the red-links by creating the stubs and getting all of the links pointing at the right place on all their usages. Keith D (talk) 17:02, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Sounds OK to me. Non-controversial. Nice and peaceful. (Hope these are not famous last words on the subject !!) I think the Victoria County History Online volumes are quite complete for both of them. And,both the county authorities have goodish websites.--Harkey (talk) 17:19, 24 July 2009 (UTC)


 * Certainly quiet, I am steering clear of the controversial West Yorkshire articles as there are several editors over there. May be can get some ideas from Dorset and Somerset which are FA articles for counties. We can probably use some of the material for the Yorkshire articles. I have also started the newsletter if you want to drop something in there. Keith D (talk) 22:40, 24 July 2009 (UTC)

Reference required
As you are good at locating references - can you come up with one for the 1994 EU time-share directive. I can find several mentioning changes to it but cannot pinpoint any reference for the original. Keith D (talk) 12:35, 1 August 2009 (UTC)

Can you check out the change to the economy section, probably will have to revert out as not matching reference but the extra reference may have some detail but it is timing out so I cannot check the detail.
