Article Neutrality and Content

Hello, I had concerns regarding the neutrality of this article especially in the section entitled "culture and community." The majority of sources included in this section are in reference to heavily commercialized and biased, leading to a section with a heavy-handed tone toward finding "value" in this area. I question the necessity of a section with regards to "culture" without evidence regarding said culture beyond public or private organizations tasked with developing the area.

In addition, at least one of the sources is out of date or incorrectly referenced. [19] leads to a stub page on the website. I appreciate the work done here to create a diverse page with various sources. Randalj16 (talk) 04:33, 2 February 2017 (UTC)Randalj16[reply]

I don't see the issue myself. The references all lead to actual events that take place in the Grassington area and detail those events. Without the citations given, it would be a whole host of 'Citation needed' tags. I will look at ref [19], otherwise, I am not seeing what you are seeing. If you think the neutrality is compromised, tag it. Regards. The joy of all things (talk) 10:11, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

I agree. These events are an important part of the Grassington year, and I don't do see the sources as overtly commercial. It's not a very good article, but that's a different issue. --Langcliffe (talk) 10:54, 2 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hmm, interesting. Langcliffe Would you like to expand on that? If there are issues then perhaps we can fix them. I'm not saying I am happy about the article, but I'd be interested to hear what you think is not right about it. Incidentally, is your user name anything to do with the place north of Settle?
