Talk:Royal Yorkshire Regiment

message: Where is the news about the Duke of York being the Colonel-in-Chief listed? Will the Colonels-in-Chief of the three individual regiments still be involved? Hammersfan 4/3/06, 09.30 GMT
:According to Regiments.org each battalion has a Deputy Colonel but not a Deputy Colonel-in-Chief.  Interestingly the Army page names The Duke of Wellington as a single Deputy Colonel-in-Chief.  194.203.110.127 10:15, 20 June 2006 (UTC)

message: A short paragraph about HRH Prince Andrew's appointment is on the page, see the second to last paragraph, he is also shown in the info box. I can confirm that HRH The Queen had appointed His Grace The Duke of Wellington to be the Deputy Colonel-in-Chief of the Yorkshire Regiment.  His Grace was The only antecedant Regimental Colonel-in-Chief who expressed an interest to continue an association with the new Regiment.  It should be noted that other Col-in-Chiefs:- King Harald V (Green Howards), and the Katharine, Duchess of Kent (Prince of Wales's Own Regiment of Yorkshire), have ceased to have any official connection with the antecedant battalions after the merger on the 6th of June. Due to health related problems.  Richard Harvey 18:08, 14 July 2006 (UTC)
thread_title: Update

message: Is the 4th Battalion notable enough to warrant an article on it's own?  As a unit it's only 3 years old and although individual members of the battalion have sevred in Iraq and elsewhere it's not been a unit deployment. NtheP (talk) 12:02, 15 July 2009 (UTC)

message: I putting a reasoning in here because my edits seem to be disagreed with. 
The lead section.  
In an article on a regiment formed in 2004 an extended list of the areas of historic Yorkshire doesn't sit right.  If the intention is to show the areas in which the regiment recruits then a list of modern areas is more suited.  Also there was as section on officer recruitment that to me just didn't make sense and isn't cited - "The same conditions exist for officers and many actively seek to join the regiment, due to its prominence in the sport of Rugby."  I also delinked dates see Wikipedia:Manual of Style (dates and numbers)/Date autoformatting for reason.
4th Battalion
Two paragraphs deleted because they are generic to TA volunteers and are not specific to this unit.
History
Entire section deleted because it did nothing except list all the antecedent units of the regiment which are covered in the lineage box later in the article.  The exception is the 4th Battalion which has a convoluted and almost circular history and this does need expanding (possiblly with a separate lineage box?).
Lineage box
I haven't touched this but it does appear to be making the mistake of trying to give all the names that antecedent units were known as in their history.  To my knowledge The Green Howards were never known at any one time as Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment (19th First North Yorkshire Regiment of Foot))  Variously it has been 19th Regiment of Foot, 19th (1st North Riding of Yorkshire) Regiment of Foot, 19th (1st North Riding of Yorkshire - Princess of Wales's Own) Regiment of Foot, Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment),  Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own (Yorkshire Regiment) and The Green Howards (Alexandra, Princess of Wales's Own Yorkshire Regiment).  Similar lists could be made for most of the other units listed.  There needs to be a clear decision made about which name is used not trying to cram them all into one line.  NtheP (talk) 08:50, 27 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Perhaps we need to reflect this in the article.  Something along the lines of "4 YORKS was formed from the two PWO companies from E&W Riding merged into one company (A company? )in the new battalion, the two DWR companies from E&W Riding, again merged into one company (B?) in the new battalion and two GH companies (C&D?) from the TTR.  HQ company came from E&W Riding."  I'm sure my guesses at the company designations are wrong but I hope you get the idea. NtheP (talk) 06:27, 28 July 2009 (UTC)
replies: text:  Richard, if you get a chance can you check out the table on my sandbox.  It's the lineage on 4 YORKS as I understand it.  If it's correct I'll tart it up and add it to the main article. NtheP (talk) 18:51, 2 August 2009 (UTC)

text: Hi! I've passed that on for someone to check, though it seems okay to me and as per the YV website history page:- Here. The new lineage box looks okay on the article so I have deleted the History section list of antecedent unit wikilinks. I've also added a section on Freedom awards, which are notable in their own right. Having done some photo's of todays award in Rotherham, the first 'New award' to the regiment. I feel that the other awards should also be mentioned. This is a section that can also be expanded with images of some of the scrolls, so I will sort some out from my collection. I note though that the DWR's Freedom of Erquinghem-Lys, France is not listed, so I will check up on that, as its the only Freedom awarded by a French town to a British regiment.

thread_title:  July revisions 

message: Hi, sorry to be an idiot here but I think that you need explanation for the history not just a lineage box which I personally find to not be very useful, especially for those of us a non military background. Keith D (talk) 21:38, 3 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Keith, it's not an easy history but I've tried to add a narrative history.  Please let me know what you think. NtheP (talk) 21:10, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: That looks better, though complicated it can be understood. The main problem with the diagram lineage is what will they sound like when read by screen readers. Will they still be intelligible and convey the meaning that sighted people can appreciate from the diagrammatic representation? Keith D (talk) 21:41, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: I suppose that will depend on the alt text facility if you can apply same to a diagram like you can an image. NtheP (talk) 21:48, 4 August 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Recent change

message: 3Yorks have had more than 90 people deployed to Afghanistan (more than 4Yorks) for much of 2009 and upto April 2010, the only mention of their contribution is the sad death of pte Young, can info on 3yorks deployment be added and the deaths of Cpl Riley and Lcpl Shaw also be included  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.169.97.222 (talk) 00:10, 20 February 2010 (UTC)
replies: text: Done. Also note the Malgir article. However please note that 3Yks, as a seperate Battalion, is not currently involved in the Afghanistan theatre of action, having been the Demonstration battalion at the Land Warfare Centre based in Warminster, followed by training and evaluatioin at Suffield in Canada, though its known they have 'bolstered' individual 2 Yks companies with manpower. As for deployments "upto April 2010" that is WP:Crystal Ball territory, as anything could happen in the next six weeks. Richard Harvey (talk) 10:16, 20 February 2010 (UTC)

message: #The table Lineage of 4th Battalion suggests the Tyne-Tees Regiment and the East and West Riding Regiment became the 4th battalion which is clearly wrong.
