message: "and was recorded in the Domesday Book as the town of Givele or Ivle"
According to my mug from the now defunct Yeovil museum: in 1086 the name has been seen as Givela and Givele.  Ivele is recorded as 1315.  There are 69 different spellings for the name we now call Yeovil recorded on it.  I can't post a pic for obvious reasons.  I don't have a better source - ie one that can be linked to.  Perhaps the Somerset Archive might help here

message: I've been editing this article to try to bring it closer to the guidelines at WP:UKCITIES and would be interested in what other editors think is need to get it to meet the Wikipedia:Good article criteria? Obviously we need to expand the lead to summarise the article & reference (or remove) the uncited claims, but is there anything else which would be required?— Rod talk 18:20, 14 February 2010 (UTC)

message: The figure for the total population has previously been the subject of some toing and froing. The current citation for 27,949, valid at the time, is no longer working. Other estimates have traditionally been less 'reliable', but typically hover around 40,000. It's probably time to finally sort it out. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:06, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Ref 1 is working (if a bit slow). It is a web cite version of a list published by the County Council before they revamped their web site. It uses ONS data from the 2001 census & shows 27949. Although other estimates may be produced I believe this is the "official" figure until the next census in 2011.— Rod talk 14:15, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: The last few times I checked it hasn't worked, but now you mention it it does now. However see - 42,140 Census 2001. There's definitely some inconsistency going on. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:24, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: See also  and other google results. -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:35, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I think we have confusion between the "urban population" which I suspect includes not only the civil parish of Yeovil but also includes Yeovil Without & possibly the suburbs of Summerlands, Hollands, Houndstone, Preston Plucknett, Penn Mill, New Town, Hendford, Old Town, Forest Hill, Abbey Manor, Great Lyde + possibly outlying villages such as East Coker, West Coker, Hardington, Evershot, Halstock, Stoford, Barwick, Sutton Bingham, Mudford and Yetminster or even Brympton & Tintinhull but I agree its not clear from the sources.— Rod talk 14:38, 24 April 2010 (UTC)

text: Here are the 2001 census population figures from the Ward profiles
 Yeovil Central:  7,230
 Yeovil East:     7,300
 Yeovil South:    7,802
 Yeovil West:     7,280 (total so far: 29,612)
 Yeovil Without:  7,260
 Brympton:        5,268
 (Total:         42,140)
Some clarification on this matter would be helpful :) -- zzuuzz (talk) 14:51, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've had a go using those sources - can you see if it is clearer?— Rod talk 17:52, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: It's definitely clearer now for me at least. So the 27,949 figure is cited as the parish. It seems everyone else uses the 42,140 figure for the town, but that's not so clearly referenced. Since the article is about both, perhaps both should go in the infobox. Or should it use the figure for the town? It would be better if there was a clear reference saying exactly what the 42,140 figure represents. -- zzuuzz (talk) 19:10, 24 April 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: I've added a ref in the lead for the urban area population, but I don't believe there is any way to add both to the infobox.— Rod talk 07:27, 25 April 2010 (UTC)

message: Lots of people have recently been added to the notable residents section of this article. Citations are needed which verify their link with Yeovil and I would suggest that many of the people linked to Yeovil Town FC, but may not have been born in the town or have made significant contributions to it, should be kept in the football club article rather than being included in this article.— Rod talk 18:55, 15 June 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I fully agree. Using the principles of WP:BOLD I'm going to delete (boldly) any such football entry together with anyone not already referenced. --Simple Bob a.k.a. The Spaminator (Talk) 22:08, 15 June 2011 (UTC)

message: The article has "the opening sequence of the film was shot on location at Yeovil Town Station (since demolished)".  Unlikely.  Pictures and track plans exist, and don't match.  Added "cite needed". --John Nagle (talk) 18:18, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: According to Movie Locations web site Hertford East, Hertfordshire station was used. As set out on the School for Scoundrels (1960 film)#Locations. Therefore I think this should be removed from this article.— Rod talk 20:09, 3 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: Agreed. The very plaform at Hertford East Station seen in the movie can be seen via Google Maps. The picture matches the movie..  Yeovil Town Station was a large through station; the one in the movie is a two-track terminal station.  --John Nagle (talk) 05:28, 4 November 2011 (UTC)
replies: text: I've now removed it.— Rod talk 07:57, 4 November 2011 (UTC)

message: Whether you like it or not: Westland Aircraft => (GKN) Westland Helicopters Ltd => Leonardo (https://uk.leonardocompany.com/en/about-us/uk-locations/yeovil)  It's way more complicated than that but the current identity is an Italian firm.
This article does not seem to mention Leonardos.  They are this lot:  "Leonardo UK Ltd, (“Leonardo in the UK”, the “Company”) is a private company limited by shares, registered in England and Wales under company number: 02426132, with a registered office of: One Eagle Place, London, SW1Y 6AF. VAT number: GB 849 7746 58.
The Company is a member of the Leonardo Group, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Leonardo S.p.A, a publicly listed company on the Stock Exchange of Milan, registered in accordance with the laws of Italy. Registered office: Piazza Monte Grappa n. 4, 00195 Rome, Italy. Register no. and tax reference: 00401990585. VAT no. 00881841001."
Why on earth does this article not mention this?  It happened years ago.
