Leeds in lead sentence

The word "Leeds" in the lead sentence refers to the city of Leeds, and not to the much wider metropolitan district of City of Leeds. Please don't change it. PamD (talk) 23:39, 8 December 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Leeds City Centre is the economic and commercial centre of a much wider area though, not just the city of Leeds. It is the centre of the whole city region, let alone the metropolitan district. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.209.243.3 (talk) 22:00, 6 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:Providencetower.jpg

Image:Providencetower.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 ensure 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 lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

Pictures

Who keeps adding these pictures with labels? If they are going to add pictures with labels, can they please use a legible sans-serif font ie Helvetica or Arial, not the current typeface on the messy white background. I'm sure those deisgn standards don't fit with wikipedia standards either. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 90.212.85.2 (talk) 00:11, 22 November 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Grammar

It won't seem to undo the grammar edits but can I just explain this. The grammar is wrong in the article. Leeds City Centre is an area of Leeds- it is a proper noun. It should never be written in lowercase. City centre is in lowercase when it refers generically to any city centre. If you are referring to a specific city centre it should be capitalised as it becomes a proper noun.

The current grammar is actually an incorrect way of saying 'the city centre of Leeds'; a general term. When you are referring to the specific area of the city it should be capitalised. You wouldn't write 'Leeds Bradford international airport' for example, unless you are trying to say 'Leeds Bradford which is an international airport'. It's the same principle.

I think you are correct. I created this article but never thought to consider the proper grammar. Im not sure how you would go about editing the title of an article.Luke C (talk)
