Margaret Clitherow
Hi, thanks for the additional sources for the birthplace of Margaret Clitherow. It is a much better article for having a number of sources when there is some discrepancy. Regards GRB1972 16:26, 17 September 2007 (UTC)
Hi. Good work on this, but a glance through it reveals that it still needs some copy-editing. One example is "Since 2002 they have been managed, along with the York Castle Museum and York Art Gallery, by the York Museums Trust since 2002". I haven't got time now, but I'll be happy to have a go at it tomorrow afternoon.
Two other points:
- The first sentence says "York Museum Gardens are botanic gardens in the centre of York, England that form part of the Yorkshire Museum.". But then, further down, the Yorkshire Museum is treated as just a building (which the gardens can't be part of, can they?). Hope you can see what I'm getting at.
- Nice map, but could you amend it so that "precinct" is spelt correctly.

- I also would like to say thanks for all the work on this article.
- I came across the sentence "Drinking alcohol, cycling and ball games are not allowed along with in the Gardens." which appears to be missing a word to make sense.
- A point for the review may be the dates in the references which are not wikilinked as they should be. I would recommend, but not necessary for the review, that you switch the references to use the {{Cite}} family of templates e.g. {{Cite web}}. Keith D 22:34, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Found an infobox that you could use {{Infobox park}} if you think it fits. Keith D 23:30, 11 October 2007 (UTC)
- Thanks for the comments, I've given the article another copyedit but any help with it is really welcome as it's easy to overlook obvious things when you're familiar with something. In the latest version of the plan I have already had the correction to precinct on so I must have forgotten to upload it but I've done that now.
- GuillaumeTell that's a very good point about the contradiction in how the Yorkshire Museum is dealt with in the article. I've had a hard think and worked out what the problem is, there is an entity that's refered to as the Yorkshire Museum that owns a number of collections of artifacts but there is also a building in Museum Gardens that is called the Yorkshire Museum. I think I'm going to move the information about the building to the section on 19th and 20th century buildings and put in clear information about the entity the Yorkshire Museum in the description section and make sure the difference is a lot clearer. I'm also thinking of creating a new article for the Yorkshrie Museum as an entity.--Kaly99 12:26, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- I'd definitely vote for a separate article - there's already one for the Abbey. Then the Gardens article can be about the gardens and the other buildings, and links to the Museum no longer have to be piped using York Museum Gardens#Yorkshire Museum. --GuillaumeTell 20:41, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
- Ive create an article for the Yorkshire Museum and I'll rearrange the Museum Gardens article.--Kaly99 21:43, 13 October 2007 (UTC)

- Keith D Thanks for finding the infobox I think I'm probably going to use it. I'll go through the reference and wikilink the dates today, I've tried cite templates before and had some problems with them so I plan to look into them more to get a better grip on using them.

Impressive article, and I like the map too. I've copyedited a few nitpicking bits and pieces. In the map, "pricinct" still seems to be there in the text at left, though it's spelled right at the top, and I think it says "anlgian" tower. There are a couple of sentences where I'm not sure whether it should be "part... is" or "parts... are", or similar single/plural choices: Roman "The side of the walls and towers facing into Museum Gardens are carefully faced ...", Medieval "Part of the arched north and west walls that formed the nave and crossing, designed in a gothic style by architect Simon of Pabenham in the 13th Century, remain standing.", and I think there was another I now can't find... ! I've created a York Art Gallery stub to get rid of your red link. PamD 15:34, 13 October 2007 (UTC)
I wonder if the Museum deserves to come first in the 19th/20th century section, rather than after the lodge (both on importance and date order)? PamD 19:59, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
- I've moved the lodge to the bottom and I'll add something about the curators house (as it's listed) to expand the paragraph on the lodge.
- Looks good! PamD 21:20, 14 October 2007 (UTC)
Nom for Did you know
- ...that the Yorkshire Museum paid £2.5 million pounds for an item found in Yorkshire using a metal detector? by user:Kaly99 nom by Victuallers 20:24, 16 October 2007 (UTC)

On 19 October, 2007, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Yorkshire Museum, which you created or substantially expanded. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page. |
Thanks for the interesting article. Cheers! --PFHLai 10:38, 19 October 2007 (UTC)

"Murkey Depths" magazine?
I can find no evidence online of the existence of any such publication. Why was it added to the article on SF magazines? --Orange Mike 06:51, 18 November 2007 (UTC)

thanks for the tips and your editorial contributions, too. And a question
Kaly,,
thanks for your editorial contributions and for the quick tips; Iam very much appreciative for it. How can I submit each of the segments I wrote to the peers review. I was able to submit one; Read the review but have not figured out how to do it again.
I am sorry for any inconvenience I may have caused; I am fairily new to contributing to Wikipedia. Look forward to hearing back from you. I am sorry that I did not reply sooner; It took me a while to find out where to reply to toher users. Hopefully this is the right place; at any rate, I am sure I will get a grasp of the many nifty features Wikipedia offers for volunteer writters or contributors.
Sincerely,
Romullous D —Preceding unsigned comment added by Romullous (talk • contribs) 01:17, 20 December 2007 (UTC)
Photos
Thanks for your Bradford photos - St George's Hall, Bradford, Bradford Alhambra and Image:Bradford Interchange.jpg. They are really useful and hopefully will stop people uploading copyvios :) Eventually we will have all of Yorkshire photographed.. *sigh* Secretlondon (talk) 23:22, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
