Manor Cottage was built from the limestone of the ruins of St Mary's Abbey in a Tudor style. It was completed in 1844 and is currently used as offices for the York Museums Trust. I've removed the above informatin about manor cottage because I don't think the building is notible in itself. If anyone has any information that would make it more notible please feel free to add it back into the article. -- Kaly99 19:55, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
I feel this lives up to the expectations of Wikipedia:What is a good article?, all six of the major points are addressed. Well written, broad, over 30 sources, several images. Well done. - Yorkshirian ( talk) 06:22, 21 November 2007 (UTC)
A question for User:Malleus Fatuarum, but I'll ask it here so other interested parties can see the answer: What's the advantage of using {{formatnum:112500}} rather than just typing 112,500? I can find no mention of this template in WP:MOSNUM or anywhere else, and it seems only to make the text more complicated for editors to read and work with - if anything, it makes mistakes more likely as it's less easy to spot an accidental duplication or omission of digit if the number has to be typed without commas!

{{formatnum}} is a magic word, not a template. – OrangeDog ( talk • edits) 01:44, 10 January 2009 (UTC)
Before someone slams a "Citation needed" tag ... from Googling around I can only find an accessible database of UK native champion trees, none here, and a ref to a full database which is only available to members of the Tree Register - see here. The Forestry Commission seem to have published a couple of books, but nothing recent or in print! Do we have a source for 3 champion trees? PamD 17:28, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
I've added a source for the information although this may not be where I found the information on the trees originally. -- Kaly99 19:00, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
Would I be alone in thinking that there is too much space devoted to the Museum in this article? Given that it now has its own article, I'd have thought that - as for St Mary's Abbey - there could be a slimline section here and a link to mainarticle Yorkshire Museum for more detail. And I think the Tempest Anderson Hall belongs with the Museum rather than the gardens. -- GuillaumeTell 22:14, 3 December 2007 (UTC)
The place is not called "York Museum Gardens for nothing. By removing the capital letters in gardens, the meaning of the phrase "The Gardens" changes. By the way, who removed the wikilink on rockery? That is not a word that is common enough for someone to know what it is (only that it has to do with rocks)- Mgm| (talk) 10:51, 9 December 2007 (UTC)

It may be a bit late to ask this, but should the article be at "Museum Gardens, York", or just "Museum Gardens", rather than the current title? I see it was Moved from "Museum Gardens" in July 2006, apparently half an hour after it was created. Are the gardens ever actually referred to as "York Museum Gardens"? Not much evidence of this on a quick Google, except for name used in Flickr etc. PamD ( talk) 16:16, 9 December 2007 (UTC)
You're correct that technically and officially its named as " Yorkshire Museum and Botanical Gardens". Locally everybody just calls them the " Museum Gardens", considering that "Museum Gardens" just redirects to this page anyway, it might be best to make that this articles title. - Yorkshirian ( talk) 18:31, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
A bit more Googling fails to find anywhere else which uses the name "Museum Gardens", rather to my surprise, so there should be no problem of ambiguity. So I'd be in favour of Moving it back to "Museum Gardens" ... would that mess up the GA nomination, I wonder? PamD ( talk) 19:14, 16 December 2007 (UTC)
I've removed the external link to the history of york website as it doesn't contain information about the gardens and does not add significant information about the buildings in the gardens. If there is information on the site that I've missed let me know. -- Kaly99 ( talk) 09:20, 14 April 2008 (UTC)
