Suggestions for editing
The day is themed around the lives and work of York's notables during this period. Many of these have links to the collections now held by York Museums Trust. Expert curators will be on hand with material related to these topic areas. Other suggestions are welcome (particularly notable women!) and we will try and be as flexible as possible with other requests on the day but cannot guarantee the provision of other materials.
{{Warning|Editing tables is pretty complicated! If you're a new editor and would like help adding/changing content please let PatHadley (talk) the Wikipedian in Residence know.
There is commenting throughout the code to help with editing. You can also check out the table help files. Cheers!}}
