As of 11 November 2024, we have assessed 100% of all articles with a project banner.

(Some new and additional article talk pages may still require a banner however)

Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.

Specific aims for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status
To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.

Priority Articles

The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford • Doncaster • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • Northern England • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to at least GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The November 2024 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page.

Month	Dates	Article(s)
Month	Dates	B class choice	Start class choice
174	1 Jun 2024 ~ 30 Jun 2024	Disappearance of Claudia Lawrence	Heart Research UK

179	1 Nov 2024 ~ 30 Nov 2024	River Went	Minster Yard

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.

Please bear in mind...

The project is subscribed to a clean-up listing which lists articles tagged with various clean-up tags that need attention. The listing is refreshed by a bot on a regular basis.

Monitoring is essential
Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism and spamming can be removed as quickly as possible.

Moves
Please be careful when performing articles moves and ensure that you also move all the talk sub-pages and update any image fair use rational. Otherwise the archives, to-do lists, assessment comments and GA reviews get lost and the image may be deleted as it has an incorrect FUR. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

Thanks

A very big Thank you to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal.

To the football and rugby editors who have done sterling work in keeping abreast of the top clubs.

To all the WikiProject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist.

Great!

Reminder to participate in Wikipedia research

[edit]

Hello,

I recently invited you to take a survey about administration on Wikipedia. If you haven’t yet had a chance, there is still time to participate– we’d truly appreciate your feedback. The survey is anonymous and should take about 10-15 minutes to complete. You may read more about the study on its Meta page and view its privacy statement.

Take the survey here.

Kind Regards,

WMF Research Team
