Talk:Ilkley

message: I've recently added a reference to the upcoming Ilkley Beer Festival which is being organised by Ilkley Round Table. I have placed the item after the reference to the Literature Festival which seemed a logical place. 
It begs question of whether there ought to be an Events subsection to the Culture and Attractions section. This would probably necessitate some slight reorganisation of certain event information already listed. For example highlighting the Literature Festival which currently is somewhat lost - after all it is the third most important event of it kind in the UK now. 
Other major events that spring to mind include; The Ilkley Carnival, The Ilkley Summer Festival, The Complementary Medicine Festival, The Lions Charity Bonfire, Ilkley Playhouse productions, not to mention The Upstagers. This list is not exhaustive and I would invite other contributors to add to it.
Whilst proposing this change might I also suggest reorganisation of page generally. For instance, shouldn’t Education have it own section, rather than be included in the Culture section? 
Having had a look at Leeds, it does seem better structured. Pdriver 11:44, 31 August 2007 (UTC)

message: What the 'ecky thump is a Hydro?  Also is it really necessary to point out that Ilkley doesn't lie in the middle of Ilkley Moor?  I mean how many places do?  Bagpuss
A Hydrotherapy spa is where people go to get various treatments involving cold water to make them better. The Ben Rhydding Hydro Spa was built in Wheatley (Now known as Ben Rhydding, because the hydro spa paid for the station to be built and chose that name or something). The old gate posts can still be seen.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.47.215.123 (talk) 18:27, 24 June 2008 (UTC)

http://www.stone-circles.org.uk/stone/swastikastone.htm isn't sure. We could do with an archaeologist giving some probabilities on the age. -- Chris Q 14:03, 24 January 2007 (UTC)

message: Nice work on the article in recent weeks in getting it ready for a GA review, much appreciated. A few points that could possibly help it along.
*A good representative static image in the infobox would be useful. Could try this one.
*In the lead the population figure needs clarifying, state that it is the 2001 census figure.
*Distances & heights in the Geography section could do with converting with  template.
*The Geography & Governance sections needs some references.

replies: text: Importantly, there's at least one [citation needed] tag that needs resolving, and some stubby sections such as economy, demography, and transport need expanding. There is a lot more that could be added to those sections (take a look at some of WP:UKGEO's Good and Featured Articles for ideas). Nev1 (talk) 18:16, 11 June 2009 (UTC)

thread_title: Quick review

message: Thanks to those who have added to the article since I nominated it for GA status. However, I'm concerned that quite a bit of what has been added to the Economy section is duplicating what already exists in the Culture and attractions section (such as the stuff about Bettys and shopping). Whilst the Economy section needs to be expanded, it needs new verifiable material and I am keen to remove the "offending" items asap unless there is reason not to. I hope this won't cause offence. --Richardob (talk) 21:04, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Fine. I was just keen to emphasise that these activities are part of the economy. There are several hotels as well as B&B, holiday cottages, etc which generate income for the town.--Harkey (talk) 06:59, 12 June 2009 (UTC)

text: I can add some statistics on employment rates and industry of employment (see Sale, Greater Manchester#Economy) if it helps. Nev1 (talk) 21:14, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Excellent! Please do. I've been wanting something just like that. :-) --Richardob (talk) 21:34, 11 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Sorry it's taken a while, but I've finally got round to adding some stats to the economy section. Do they read ok? Nev1 (talk) 19:39, 15 June 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Nice one, Nev. :-) They're excellent and really do a good job at developing the Economy section. Thanks. --Richardob (talk) 20:03, 15 June 2009 (UTC)

replies: text: Unsure exactly what you are after here, are you just asking for a photo for yourself or for one to be added to this page? If the latter it may be best to go on the Ilkley Moor page.

message: The sports section was becoming very list-like, with people just adding in any sports teams without references. I've tidied it up abit (http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Ilkley&action=historysubmit&diff=354997076&oldid=354838203) but it still needs a bit of work. Jorgesca (talk) 18:57, 9 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There's a debate to be had about whether we're better off having bullet-point lists or prose of the sort you've made a start on. It's not clear to me that either is a better option. But I'm happy that you've made a move to improve the section, and I've noodled around in it just now. I think a concern for me is whether the Nordic Walking School has any place in the list ... I guess that's because it is commercial rather than a club or a public facility, hence for me smelling of spam, but my view may be a little extreme. Meanwhile I've started to make reference to the public facilities. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:45, 9 April 2010 (UTC)

replies: text: Is there something stopping you reading the article yourself to locate the answer to your question? Richard Harvey (talk) 15:26, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: A slightly odd response as neither the 1900 Home Nations Championship nor Ilkley articles have anything about the history of Ilkley Rugby Football Club. DynamoDegsy (talk) 18:42, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: According to http://www.ilkleyrfc.co.uk/PDFs/History%20-%20web%20site.pdf the club was sometimes referred to as Ilkley Olicana in the pre-1900 period. There's no mention of their playing in the 1900 Home Nations Championship. So the jury must be out, sadly. --Tagishsimon (talk) 19:04, 1 November 2011 (UTC)
