replies: text: As far as I am aware, York was never capital of Northumbria... the capital under Aethelfrith who united Deira and Bernicia was Bamburgh. Edwin who claimed Northumbria after the defeat of Aethelfrith had no fixed capital but moved between places throughout the kingdom. The capital of Northumbria returned to Bamburgh under Oswald. After Oswiu (Oswald's brother) I am a little hazy... but it is unlikely that any of the kings stayed in a fixed location as we would imagine a capital by today's standards.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.31.172.231 (talk) 23:05, 9 August 2013 (UTC)

message: i tried to include "The History of York" in bold, according to the layout guides, but it sounds a little weird now. please fix if you can. --Ysangkok 22:19, 8 November 2006 (UTC)
replies: text: I've moved the link to York along the line so it isn't in the bold bit, and otherwise tried to make the para read better and eliminate duplication - the whole thing was untimely ripp'd out of the main article, originally. --GuillaumeTell 18:38, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

message: Can anyone here offer proof of the fact that the Welsh word for Yew is Efwr? While it is true that Welsh for York is Efrog (see the stated Brythonic) the online dictionary at Cardiff University states that Ywen is Modern Welsh for Yew. Can anyone cite the Middle Welsh? —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 147.142.163.54 (talk) 17:25, 7 April 2007 (UTC)

message: I've removed the 17th century and 18th century headings as they do not fit in with the periods used in the rest of the article.  The 17th century has been moved to early modern and a new modern section created.  --Kaly99 21:55, 23 September 2007 (UTC)

message: I have added a brief statement about the arrival of the Railways in York. I think its positively scandalous that one of the most important parts of York's recent history is given next to no mention at all in the article and I shall, if possible, make a more detailed addition on the subject at a later date.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.31.1.219 (talk) 21:08, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
