Talk:Great Ayton

message: It would be really good if someone with local knowledge could check through the images in the two Wikimedia Commons categories linked from the boxes on the right. A large number of images have been transferred from Geograph British Isles, but I think that a number have been incorrectly placed in to the Little Ayton category. If you would go and look at the images then make changes to the category as appropriate it would be very helpful. 
For those who don't know, Geograph - http://geograph.org.uk - is a project which has set out to photograph every part of Britain and Ireland. Every photo that is uploaded is tagged with its latitude and longitude so that its position on the map can be easily identified. Furthermore, every image is published under a Creative Commons licence, which means that other people are free to use those images for any purpose as long as they attribute the image to (i.e. acknowledge) the original photographer. It is because of that licence that many (possibly most) Geography images in some places have been uploaded to Wikimedia Commons for use in Wikipedia articles. --Simple Bob (talk) 14:19, 26 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It would be good to get things straight before the next set of images are uploaded, but the same problem exists for all locations in the UK so they all need checking out if any one wants a challenge. Keith D (talk) 00:13, 27 March 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: There are problems of translating the co-ordinate data to a suitable location and getting the right dab that we use on wiki. This is especially true near to boundaries. There is much discussion over this on Commons. The BOT was recently blocked from uploading, following which the BOT operator has walked away from the process. Discussion on loading the images without categories is on-going. Keith D (talk) 19:55, 27 January 2011 (UTC)

text: The same as you do with any article—on Commons edit the :Category:something line on the image to be the appropriate category. Keith D (talk) 19:55, 27 January 2011 (UTC)
thread_title:  Someone local needed to check images 

message: Sorry about the bad pun but in all seriousness I was wondering about the balance of photos in the article. We've got one very fine one of the village (townlet??) from some distance, and three of things related to the gallant Captain, of which one isn't really in Canny Atton anyway but up a hill about a sandwich's walk away. Has anyone got nice pics of the village itself? Church, Green, bridges? Something a bit less Cooky would really be welcome, I think. But YMMV. Best wishes DBaK (talk) 14:34, 20 June 2015 (UTC)

thread_title:  Photos: overCooked? 

message: I don't want to appear that I'm just constantly reverting your work, so have started a discussion here instead.
I don't think it's necessary to have a section entitled "notable people" for Great Ayton, when the section only contains one person, and that person has an entire section devoted to them above under "Landmarks".  I understand that he does qualify as a notable person, but that as he's already mentioned in detail, to do so again is just duplicating info that's already been covered in detail.  It just looks bad, and isn't necessary.  Chaheel Riens (talk) 18:56, 21 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: True, there is more than enough information about James Cook on the Great Ayton page, after all this article is meant to be primarily about Great Ayton and not James Cook.  For instance there is a large italicised paragraph on the monument's inscription in the Captain Cook's Monument sub-section.  This is duplicate information as it already occurs on the Easby Moor page where it is more relevant.  It is this paragraph that ought to go from the Great Ayton page.

replies: text: I suppose I concur with that.  It's just as easy to get to the monument by walking from the Newton under Roseberry carpark as it is from going through Ayton, so there's probably over-emphasis on the landmarks.  They probably warrant a brief mention - certainly his sculpture, and the cottage, but the others can probably go?  Chaheel Riens (talk) 08:35, 22 June 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I'd keep in all the mentions, as they are relevant, but I'd not make them separate subheads or give all that info. People interested in JC tourism should be able to find it elsewhere or at least at his article here, but it's over the top. How about if the four JC subheads under Landmarks were cut down to just one, "Captain Cook", with all of those things mentioned, and then there would be at the moment just the other subhead for churches. Something like that?? DBaK (talk) 09:36, 22 June 2015 (UTC)

message: Due to Little Ayton and its article size, the article could be inserted here. Is they a rule not to and can somebody please do it if possible to do so. I am not adept with article merges and might mess it up. Chocolateediter (talk) 02:24, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: We tend to keep places separate, especially as both are civil parishes in their own right so should have separate articles. Keith D (talk) 13:23, 26 October 2020 (UTC)
