Thanks For those of you who made changes and looked after the school and university articles after last month's feature. There has again been a number of suggestions on the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal and this has been kept up to date. The football and rugby editors have continued keeping abreast of most, if not all, of the top clubs. Great! WikiProkject Yorkshire editors have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist . Thanks. A big Thank you Priority Articles The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows -
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.
