Talk:York

Shall we update the section on governance of the city? Currently it references the 2019 local election results, but this is out of date. Xtrememachineuk (talk) 10:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

:I've added a maintenance tag stating as much. I don't have the knowledge to update the section myself. Seasider53 (talk) 13:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)

After reviewing this article, I am concerned that it no longer meets the GA criteria. Some of my concerns are below:

• There are sections that need to be updated, such as the "Local government" section talked about above or the "Demographics" section.
• There is a lot of uncited sections
• At over 9,000 words, WP:PAGESIZE recommends that sections of the article be split off or removed.

Is there anyone interested in fixing up this article? Z1720 (talk) 04:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Okay, so we have some work to do - my first proposal would be to lose the table with all the railway destinations and calling points from the transport section. Surely this is too detailed and is covered by the {{rws|York}} railway station article. It can be summarised in this article with a section of short prose....? {{Cquote|Trains from York Railway station run to London, Doncaster, Peterborough, Darlington, Newcastle and Edinburgh with LNER, and across Northern England between Scarborough, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool with TransPennine Express. Northern provide local services to Hull, Leeds and Harrogate, and Cross Country, which connects Edinburgh, Newcastle and York, with Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, and the south-west of England. Additionally, open-access operator Grand Central run trains between Sunderland and London.}}

Hi, I noticed the recent removal of an edit citing the 2023 York Top 100 Businesses report published by York St John University, which named TSYS and Gear4music as examples of modern digital-sector employers in York, with a neutral tone and independent source.

The removal note cited potential conflict of interest due to shared IP activity, but this addition was made in good faith using a highly reputable source that’s directly relevant to the city's economic profile. Would welcome any advice on how to reinstate it in a compliant way, or clarification on whether the source or framing is in question. Thanks. 188.65.101.236 (talk) 16:11, 12 June 2025 (UTC)

:I didn't remove it but it did read like it was added by someone connected to the business(es) involved. If that's the case then I suggest you step away and leave it to someone else who may deem it appropriate to add that or similar content. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:26, 12 June 2025 (UTC)
