Improving the article

I notice that South East England Development Agency for example has a few of the projects that it has undertaken. This would improve the page greatly in my view --Herby ^{talk thyme} 12:01, 15 October 2006 (UTC)[reply]

This article seems more like a PR excercise from 'Yorkshire Forward' than an article about it. Most of the contents ought to be moved to Yorkshire (or more properly Yorkshire and the Humber). There's absolutely nothing on why this organisation was created, whose idea it was, or even who runs it! It's obviously a notable body but the whole article needs a major overhaul. 86.29.148.57 (talk) 02:02, 18 September 2009 (UTC)[reply]

In my opinion this article reads far too much like a publicity brochure, rather than an encyclopedia entry. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 82.152.155.58 (talk) 11:07, 22 December 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Clusters

The article states "Yorkshire Forward has identified seven key clusters that have the potential to deliver significant economic growth in the future." but then only gives a list of six. Is there 1 missing from the list or is the statement incorrect? I guess that the information is given in "Porter, M (1998) Clusters and the New Economy, Harvard Business Review 76, 6" noted in the references section, has any one got access to this who could check it out?

The list is identical to one found in this PDF from the European Regional Development Fund. Perhaps that's the reference to use. Northumbrian (talk) 22:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Copyedit and other cleanup

I've started taking a look at the article; I meant to just copyedit when I saw it listed on the Yorkshire project page, but I see from the tags there's a bit more that's needed. I'll address those too if possible. Northumbrian (talk) 22:58, 18 May 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Needs lots of inline references
"Yorkshire Alive with Opportunity!" what is it, needs some explaination
As already noted on talk page some project details would be helpful
