[edit] still exists

It is popularly considered a county, although it now technically isn't.

As things stand there are no intermediate divisions of Yorkshire on an official level

These things may be true from an administrative point of view, but South Yorkshire still exists as a "ceremonial" county - there is a Lord Lieutenant of South Yorkshire ( http://www.lordlt.org.uk/ ) and also a High Sheriff. There are also some governmental functions that are run at the South Yorks level despite the abolition of the county council - South Yorks Police, SYPTE, Fire & Rescue... --rbrwr

[edit] History of the term

Does anyone hava anything on the use of South Yorkshire before 1972? I know there was a 616 (South Yorkshire) Squadron, based at Doncaster airfield during the Battle of Britain. This predates the 1972 Local Government Act by several decades. 194.203.110.127 15:56, 9 June 2006 (UTC)

There used to be a daytime soap opera called "South Riding". I barely remember it, but I wish I could remember if it was mentioned any real towns or villages in South Yorkshire. I bet it was based in the Dales (and perhaps Leeds) though,

The South Riding was Holderness. It was based on a really old novel. Epa101 17:21, 22 March 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Population figures

Can we have a citation for the lists of population figures? One would hope they are from the 2001 census but it would be prudent to cite a source. MRSC 13:51, 21 October 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:S yorks.JPG

Image:S yorks.JPG is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
