Image lead gallery

Local government
editShall we update the section on governance of the city? Currently it references the 2019 local election results, but this is out of date. Xtrememachineuk (talk) 10:21, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
- I've added a maintenance tag stating as much. I don't have the knowledge to update the section myself. Seasider53 (talk) 13:49, 10 July 2024 (UTC)
GAR concerns
editAfter reviewing this article, I am concerned that it no longer meets the GA criteria. Some of my concerns are below:
- There are sections that need to be updated, such as the "Local government" section talked about above or the "Demographics" section.
- There is a lot of uncited sections
- At over 9,000 words, WP:PAGESIZE recommends that sections of the article be split off or removed.
Is there anyone interested in fixing up this article? Z1720 (talk) 04:47, 12 July 2024 (UTC)

Unreferenced sections, orange "updated needed" banners, sections that need updating of recent elections and events, and at over 9000 words it is recommended that the article be split off and information be summarised. Z1720 (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)
Towards a GA status for this article
editOkay, so we have some work to do - my first proposal would be to lose the table with all the railway destinations and calling points from the transport section. Surely this is too detailed and is covered by the York railway station article. It can be summarised in this article with a section of short prose....?
| “ | Trains from York Railway station run to London, Doncaster, Peterborough, Darlington, Newcastle and Edinburgh with LNER, and across Northern England between Scarborough, Leeds, Manchester and Liverpool with TransPennine Express. Northern provide local services to Hull, Leeds and Harrogate, and Cross Country, which connects Edinburgh, Newcastle and York, with Leeds, Sheffield, Birmingham, and the south-west of England. Additionally, open-access operator Grand Central run trains between Sunderland and London. | ” |
