Hi, I noticed the recent removal of an edit citing the 2023 York Top 100 Businesses report published by York St John University, which named TSYS and Gear4music as examples of modern digital-sector employers in York, with a neutral tone and independent source. The removal note cited potential conflict of interest due to shared IP activity, but this addition was made in good faith using a highly reputable source that’s directly relevant to the city's economic profile. Would welcome any advice on how to reinstate it in a compliant way, or clarification on whether the source or framing is in question. Thanks. 188.65.101.236 (talk) 16:11, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

I didn't remove it but it did read like it was added by someone connected to the business(es) involved. If that's the case then I suggest you step away and leave it to someone else who may deem it appropriate to add that or similar content. 10mmsocket (talk) 16:26, 12 June 2025 (UTC)Reply

The article uses the undefined term "county town" near the start of the article: "It is the traditional county town of Yorkshire." Shouldn't "county town" be a hyperlink or defined before its use? ~2026-36122-25 (talk) 14:10, 22 June 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Done County town now linked in the lead section (... even though it is a city, not a town). Already linked elsewhere in the article. Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:08, 22 June 2026 (UTC)Reply
