River Rye(Yorkshire)[edit]

Thanks for your correction to the article about the River Rye. I got the information about the River Bran from a very old book in Pickering library. I thought it was a bit suspect at the time as there were a few more embelishments in the text which I edited out.--Harkey Lodger (talk) 20:52, 7 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Lealholm GA attempt[edit]

Hi, I've reviewed the Lealholm article and placed it on hold for seven days. If the improvements are not made within that period, the article will not pass GA. It's a well written piece but sadly does not pass the GA criteria of broadness and verifiability. You may like to ask WikiProject Yorkshire for some help, they have editors experienced with the GA process and may be able to give pointers or even lend a hand. Good luck.

Hello, Do you have any more information, maybe some John Davidson stuff, that could be put in the history section, please?--Harkey (talk) 18:14, 6 June 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Notification of automated file description generation[edit]

Your upload of File:Bethesda night.jpg or contribution to its description is noted, and thanks (even if belatedly) for your contribution. In order to help make better use of the media, an attempt has been made by an automated process to identify and add certain information to the media's description page.

This notification is placed on your talk page because a bot has identified you either as the uploader of the file, or as a contributor to its metadata. It would be appreciated if you could carefully review the information the bot added. To opt out of these notifications, please follow the instructions here. Thanks!

ArbCom elections are now open![edit]

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.
