Request

Couple of NPOVs in this - please provide citations for the ftrs being unpopular and for the student discontent over the termly/annual fares.

(Incidentally, First expect us to believe the conductors are called 'Customer Service Hosts' - that's what they called them when they were recruiting for the Leeds ftrs!)

removing POV tag with no active discussion per Template:POV

I've removed an old neutrality tag from this page that appears to have no active discussion per the instructions at Template:POV:

This template is not meant to be a permanent resident on any article. Remove this template whenever:

1. There is consensus on the talkpage or the NPOV Noticeboard that the issue has been resolved
2. It is not clear what the neutrality issue is, and no satisfactory explanation has been given
3. In the absence of any discussion, or if the discussion has become dormant.

Since there's no evidence of ongoing discussion, I'm removing the tag for now. If discussion is continuing and I've failed to see it, however, please feel free to restore the template and continue to address the issues. Thanks to everybody working on this one! -- Khazar2 (talk) 13:17, 14 June 2013 (UTC)

Fleet list

Unless an operator publishes their fleet list, any list is only ever going to be indicative. But assuming the list at [1] is compiled in WP:Goodfaith, then I see know reason not to include as it gives the reader an idea of the size of a fleet at a point in time.

Also takes the place of uncited lists of bus types that periodically appear in articles. Mo7838 (talk) 12:41, 18 November 2013 (UTC)

Self published original research on a personal webpage is not a reliable source for Wikipedia.--Charles (talk) 10:34, 21 November 2013 (UTC)

Response to Third Opinion Request:

Disclaimers: I am responding to a third opinion request made at WP:3O. I have made no previous edits on First York and cannot recall any prior interaction with the editors involved in this discussion which might bias my response. The third opinion process (FAQ) is informal and I have no special powers or authority apart from being a fresh pair of eyes. Third opinions are not tiebreakers and should not be "counted" in determining whether or not consensus has been reached. My personal standards for issuing third opinions can be viewed here.

Opinion: One particularly wise Third Opinion Wikipedian, RegentsPark, once succinctly put the purpose of Third Opinions like this, "It's sort of like if you're having an argument on the street in front of City Hall and turn to a passer-by to ask 'hey, is it true that the Brooklyn Bridge is for sale?'." http://www.swhite.org.uk/ is clearly not a reliable source by Wikipedia standards. It is a self published source and Wikipedia policy says, "Anyone can create a personal web page or publish their own book, and also claim to be an expert in a certain field. For that reason, self-published media, such as books, patents, newsletters, personal websites, open wikis, personal or group blogs (as distinguished from newsblogs, above), Internet forum postings, and tweets, are largely not acceptable as sources. Self-published expert sources may be considered reliable when produced by an established expert on the subject matter, whose work in the relevant field has previously been published by reliable third-party publications." GOODFAITH has nothing to do with evaluation of sources. If uncited lists of bus types appear in other articles, then the proper remedy is to remove them there, not insert them here: Per the verifiability policy (of which the self published sources policy is a part, incidentally), "All material in Wikipedia mainspace, including everything in articles, lists and captions, must be verifiable. All quotations, and any material whose verifiability has been challenged or is likely to be challenged, must include an inline citation that directly supports the material. Any material that needs a source but does not have one may be removed." (Emphasis added.)
