WikiProject Yorkshire Newsletter - September 2012
Latest comment: 12 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
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 9,880 last month to 9,942 on July 25th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 83 is just ahead of WP:GM who have 72. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 56 out of a total number of 3,065 articles.
Currently we have thirty one 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.
Schools back
This month is the time for the start of a new school year. All of those pupils going to a new school will be looking for information on their new school and so the school articles under the project's banner will get higher than usual hits. It would be good if members could keep an eye out for vandalism and the addition of vanity entries on the local school articles.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The September 2012 articles selected below are suggestions from the project talk page.
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.
