Welcome to the one hundred and sixty first WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WP:YORKS has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 17,119 last month to 17,227 on 5 September 2021). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 205 is ahead of WP:GM who have 90. WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 85 while WP:GM has 69 out of a total number of 4,683 articles.
Currently we have sixty seven Yorkshire featured articles:
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.
Paralympic Games
This month with the Paralympics Games in progress it would be good to take a look at some of the articles related to Yokshire competitors. Many are just a couple of line stubs and could do with improving to give some background to these athletes. Many are in need of photographs and there may be some free ones available to help illustrate articles. This set of articles that will get a high number of hits as people search for details of the competitors and could do with work to get them in to shape.
We now have more Yorkshire medals from these games to celebrate.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The September 2021 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page. I have gone for a couple of current Paralympics this month though could not find any B-class so have gone for a C-class.
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.
