[edit] River Rye(Yorkshire)

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)

[edit] Better late than never...

[edit] Lealholm GA attempt

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)
