message: I remember being sent literature regarding possible alterations to North Yorkshire in the early 90s. Among various options included Hambleton, Craven, Richmondshire and Harrogate districts to secede and become 'The Dales Council' and with the rump North Yorkshire to revert to 'North Riding'. Another option was for Lanbaugh district (then Cleveland) and the old East Riding of Yorkshire to merge with North Yorkshire to form an even bigger county. Nothing came of it but worth a mention I'd have thought.15:20, 9 February 2007 (UTC)

BTW, I can't find anything about Langbaugh leaving the former Cleveland collection of councils.

message: The "Economy" section presents a chart (sic; actually it's a table) of something called "regional gross value added at current basic prices". A reference directs the reader to an ONS PDF document containing (with no explanation) this information. As a ref it's perfect, referring as it does to an official ONS report. As useful information it's as much use as a chocolate fireguard, giving as it does no clue at all what "regional gross value added" may be.
WP has no article on this thing, and a quick Google search throws up many instances of documents detailing it without explaining it. Given that this section merely contains an inaccurately-described (it's a table, not a chart) of inxeplicable (or at least unexplained) numbers, does it have any place in the article? I propose to delete the "Economy" section on 17th April 2011 unless it is improved before then. Tonywalton Talk 23:58, 9 April 2011 (UTC)

message: Im afraid I have to disagree with this statement as the largest settlement within the ceremonial county of North Yorkshire is Middlesbrough.  As of 2011, the York urban area had a population of 137,505 whereas the population of Middlesbrough was 138,700 and that's not even taking into account the larger urban area of Middlesbrough which extends beyond the authority.  The local government district of the City of York is larger however with around 200,000 people, but covers a much larger area than York itself so i feel the statement is misleading saying its the largest settlement.  Maybe its the largest town in 'true' Yorkshire as many people up here (hailing from the Middlesbrough area myself) are mixed when it comes to the Yorkshire identity (Acklamite)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.22.136.58 (talk) 19:41, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: ONS figures give York as 197,800 and Middlesbrough as 138,400. Keith D (talk) 22:06, 11 March 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Those figures are for the unitary authority not the actual urban area. The City of York covers a much larger area than just York itself.  It even shows this within the York article.  This paragraph is taken from the demography section on the article;
"The York urban area had a population of 137,505 comprising 66,142 males and 71,363 females in 2001. Also at the time of the 2001 UK census, the City of York had a total population of 181,094 of whom 93,957 were female and 87,137 were male"

text: Ok so now new data has been released pertaining to the new classification of Built-up areas in place of the previous urban areas.  The 2011 data provided by the ONS shows considerable change in the way urban areas are defined in England & Wales  and therefore the way in which the urban area or built-up area subdivision of both Middlesbrough and York are viewed. According to the National statistics, as of 2011, the Built-up Area Subdivision of Middlesbrough had a population of 174,700 whereas the Built-up Area Subdivision of York had 152,841 (excluding Earswick which is counted as a seperate subdivison).  This puts Middlesbrough as the largest settlement in terms of built-up area as this new method pays no respect to council boundaries.  This said, York is still the largest City in North Yorkshire and is a considerably larger district.  So in an urban sense, Middlesbrough is the larger settlement, but as a municipal corporation/district sense York is larger.  Acklamite (talk) 20:54, 1 October 2013 (UTC)

I know it is often regarded as a town by some and yes it does even have a town councilIngleby Barwick Town Council which was granted in 2007, but has it ever received any charter of incorporation?  Perhaps the term 'township' would be better, although personally I still see it as Europe's largest housing estate. Acklamite (talk) 12:14, 25 September 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: Since the recent changes in the legislation I think there is no longer any need for there to be a charter to be called a town. It can be done by the parish council in a resolution, so if the council calls it a town council then we have to go with it. Keith D (talk) 00:28, 26 September 2014 (UTC)

replies: text: I assume you mean the 1,153,400 figure. This is the new figure supplied by the ONS, in the last month, as the mid-2017 estimate for the counties population, the figures are generated from the codes given, not sure which or may be it is a combination of, ISO 3166-2, ONS code and NUTS. If you are querying the value then you should check out the ref which should be given in the text, but looks as you have tried to put in 2016 figures rather than set-up the text for auto-update to ONS information as per the infobox. See  It could be that the ONS have supplied the wrong information or that the figures have been transcribed incorrectly. Note that the figure is for the ceremonial county that includes part of Stockton-upon-Tees. If there is still a problem then please show where the problem is. Keith D (talk) 18:47, 16 July 2018 (UTC)
