Noticing the drop off from new visitors from foreign parts- apart from those in China who send all sorts of incomprehensible and quite pointless emails to Jam Siren, we went investigating!
We discovered that the link from Wikipedia has been removed (we did not put it there in the first place!) due to it being perceived as advertising!
We have kept new visitors from abroad abreast of Armley news, such as Diane in Florida, who found us when she searched for Armley in Wikipedia. I think Luke (who ever he is) needs to be aware that The Armley Tourist Board is a not for profit, and certainly for community spirit expression of civic pride.
We appeal to Luke to stop being snippy, he should be proud to include the quirky- history in the making if you like. (As all of our Leeds and global commentaries could be considered so really!) If you would like to reinstate this link, who ever you were in the first place then please do!
Yours with injured dignity the communication office of the Armley Tourist Board

What an idiot he is good grief I searched for Armley as a geographic location and it infact listed you as a tourist board if I remember rightly... point is that between wikipedia and google Im really happy it led me to finding you so Luke if your reading this ...... get a life before you get hung off a cliff with a wedgie... these people didnt ASK to be listed by you.... they were about as shocked as I was when I found them through you ...... ugh the nerve of some people huh ... k who's got the kettle on .
thanks Diane, Luke may be a sweet boy, a litle zealous maybe, but perhaps we should show him the error of his ways!
yes I agree ...... maybe a lil jam down his pants and sit him on an ant hill perhaps :)
Funny how they were worried about your page being mentioned but if you read the wiki page all the way through on "Armley" they say "The most notable of the former churches is the old Methodist chapel which is now owned by MIKES CARPETS , and is a familiar landmark to the people of West Leeds"..... I dont think they realize what they actually are talking about.....Im sure Mike is very happy to be globally recognised. Im sorry you guys went through this.
Thanks to Seanee boy for defending us against the wikid wiki peeds!
And to Diane for indignant response!
I have been blocked for repeated vandalism! I think I must have tried about 4 times in the last year to big up the Armley Gyratory. God damn!
Wikipedia has no sense of irony or humour
