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 • 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 May 2019 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

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.

The Images of England web site is to be decommissioned this month by Historic England. The text of the site entries has been available on the corresponding National Heritage List entry since that web site was created. The images are being transferred ahead of the decommissioning. As a result of this a BOT has changed all ((IoE)) templates to ((NHLE)) templates and translated the reference number according to a list provided by Historic England.

It would be good if members could check these, when they come across them, as I have spotted one with an incorrect translation. Some articles already had ((NHLE)) templates in them so the references may need to be combined. Other changes that may need to be performed are removal of template or text referring to the site as needing registration, changing the text "Images of England" or "IoE" to something more appropriate or may be even removing it if it is part of the description..

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 • 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.

Wiki Loves Monuments

September is the time for the annual Wiki Loves Monuments competition to get quality photographs of listed buildings and scheduled monuments in the UK. It would be good if any members in the Yorkshire area got out and about taking images of any monuments or listed buildings that they find. There are still several entries on the various list articles without images and it would be best to prioritise these if you are in the right place. Details for this years competition can be found here. There are cash prises of up to £250 for the best images that are submitted.

If you are not in Yorkshire then you are still able to join in as the competition covers the whole of the UK, separate competitions are available for other areas of the world if you are not UK based.

WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The September 2019 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

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.

General Election

With the calling of a General Election will members keep an eye on the various Parliament constituency articles. Please check that the candidates are appropriately referenced and that they appear in alphabetical order by surname so that we do not show any bias to a particular party. It is also worth checking the settlement articles to see if they have the correct constituency shown.

There will also be all of the candidate articles to check to see if they have the appropriate term end details and text to show if they are standing or not at the election.
