On 2 June 2021, Did you know was updated with a fact from the article John Farrah, which you recently created, substantially expanded, or brought to good article status. The fact was ... that botanist and "great Yorkshire character" John Farrah reprimanded greedy plant collectors in such a way that they would "remember it to the end of their days"? The nomination discussion and review may be seen at Template:Did you know nominations/John Farrah. You are welcome to check how many pageviews the nominated article or articles got while on the front page (here's how, John Farrah), and if they received a combined total of at least 416.7 views per hour (i.e., 5,000 views in 12 hours or 10,000 in 24), the hook may be added to the statistics page.

Hallo, You've got Lavinia marrying at age 11: is that right? I don't think I have access to BNA, neither through Wikipedia nor my public library, so can't check your sources. PamD 11:59, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Thanks, I'll check it - probably a typo. You can access the newspapers if you've got a Leeds Central Library ticket (Leeds Libraries resources are here but you will need your ticket number). Different URL but you can do a search with the info I've given. I'm dealing with a guest right now but will check the above asap. Storye book (talk) 13:29, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
@PamD:. I have checked the sources, and added quotes to the citations. You will see that almost certainly the sources have got the date of marriage wrong, rather than the date of her death or her age at death. The date of marriage appears in a Charles Reid obituary of 1901, and copies of that obit, using the same wording, appear in other newspapers. I have found no other newspaper report giving information different from what I have put in the article. So I believe that the 1840 is wrong. She had only one child, born 1848. If her marriage had been around 1846 or 1847 she would have been about 17 or 18, which was OK for those days. I have searched for a marriage around that time in the England/Wales index, but there is none for that couple. I shall look in Ancestry next, but they had foreign connections - they could have married in Jamaica, so I may not be able to check it. Storye book (talk) 16:16, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Update. Got it. The answer was in Ancestry, and all identity details tally, including the location of marriage being fairly close to where Reid shot the tiger and Lavinia's birth date of 1829, so I trust the source. However I had to upgrade my Ancestry membership to get that info, so please be nice to me ;-). Cheers. Storye book (talk) 16:38, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply
Well done! I've updated the infobox too. PamD 16:44, 18 June 2021 (UTC)Reply

Olympic and Paralympic Games
Happy Yorkshire Day, this month with the Olympic Games in progress it would be good to take a look at some of the articles related to Yokshire competitors. I have gone through and tagged those competitors that have articles and are born in Yorkshire, though there are a significant number that do not include details of where they are from. If you know ones that should be tagged then please take this opportunity to tag them and add relevant categories to their articles. 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.
Later in the month there will also be the start of the Paralympic Games. Another 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.
Hopefully we will have more Yorkshire medals from both games to celebrate.

Congratulations on reaching 100 DYK creations with your excellent article on the hymn book editor and magistrate John Peele Clapham. In scrolling through your past DYKs, I took the time to read several of your previously created articles and was struck by not only the quality of your writing but also the excellence of many of the images accompanying your articles. The weather and water eroded Brimham Rocks was visually striking, and I was glad to discover them through your DYK list. I notice that your work has mainly focused on people and places in England from museums, villages, churches, and even a railway tunnel to articles on Britsh actors, architects, artists, and writers. In particular, I thoroughly enjoyed discovering your article on Mary Bulkley with its digressions on Shakespeare and scandal; and found it fascinating that both she and Alice Marriott took on the role of Hamlet. Thank you for your contributions to wikipedia and at DYK. You should be proud of the body of work that you have created.4meter4 (talk) 13:54, 5 August 2021 (UTC)Reply

I have corrected the typo. I have developing glaucoma. I am a fast touch-typist (that means I can type without looking at the keyboard), but I have to copyedit articles and edit photographs with my eyes two inches from the screen. Missing typos is to be expected. So please be patient, and please be aware that there are probably many editors here who cannot easily read a monitor screen. Thank you.

Hi, and thank you for your contributions to Wikipedia. It appears that you tried to give User:Storye book/editing/Sandbox 69 a different title by copying its content and pasting either the same content, or an edited version of it, into Thomas Holroyd. This is known as a "cut-and-paste move", and it is undesirable because it splits the page history, which is legally required for attribution. Instead, the software used by Wikipedia has a feature that allows pages to be moved to a new title together with their edit history.
In most cases for registered users, once your account is four days old and has ten edits, you should be able to move an article yourself using the "Move" tab at the top of the page (the tab may be hidden in a dropdown menu for you). This both preserves the page history intact and automatically creates a redirect from the old title to the new. If you cannot perform a particular page move yourself this way (e.g. because a page already exists at the target title), please follow the instructions at requested moves to have it moved by someone else. Also, if there are any other pages that you moved by copying and pasting, even if it was a long time ago, please list them at Wikipedia:Requests for history merge. Thank you.
Your response puzzles me. I have created and published over a hundred articles in that way, over 17 years as a registered user. I have always been honest about the cutting and pasting when nominating articles on DYK, so it has been a known fact, there. I am puzzled because if that is a legal requirement, and there is a rule that says I am obliged to do this and have no choice, why has no-one told me this before, in 17 years?
It so happens that I have carefully saved many of the more recent userpage article creations on separate, labelled subpages. But many of the earlier ones got over-written, and it would be difficult to locate them and make a seamless join to the existing page - for example, PS Medway Queen (2004), which has been moved at least once since being published, and I have no idea where the original article creation might be. Also, how am I going to persuade administrators to find and seamlessly join over 100 article histories for me?
To cut a long story short I have a severe bone condition whose expected imminent deterioration means that in 2022 I expect to break many bones, be unable to work at my PC or even die next year. How am I expected to organise and monitor all that article history business? At the moment I am trying desperately to complete and publish the remaining partial articles which I have started in userspace, while I can still sit at the PC. I will need all the time that I have left to do that. There must be a lot of editors on WP who are the same sort of position. I don't think that you can unilaterally demand that any editor complete such a huge task. If you seriously want this job done, you are going to have to make all those move applications and monitor it all, yourself. People like me can get stopped by a broken vertebra etc. at any time. I can continue to edit as long as I can, but I cannot be expected to suddenly make commitments like that. Storye book (talk) 09:16, 18 November 2021 (UTC)Reply

Just to say thanks for all the effort put in by members on articles covering the Yorkshire area and to wish everyone a Happy Christmas. It is time to take a break and to spend some time with family and friends. May be even to indulge yourself in the food and drink that abounds at this time of year or even make that occasional visit to a church. What ever you do over the festive season enjoy it and see you next year.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 2021 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on 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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.
