- 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.
- Dead links
This month I thought that I would concentrate on the problem of link rot in articles. Many of you will have spotted a BOT tagging references with the {{Dead link}} template. The template is added when the external link in a reference is detected as being inaccessible or is a redirect to the main page of the site. You should not remove references that are marked as dead unless you are replacing the reference with a new reference. The information in the reference may be useful to someone trying to locate a valid reference for the text. In order to help this process, when adding references in the first place, add as much detail as possible. It is easier to put in the detail while the reference is in front of you rather than waste someone else's time having to fill in the detail. If you want more detail then see Wikipedia:Link rot.
Many of the project's articles have been tagged in this way by the BOT and it would be useful if members could take a look at the tagged references, when visiting a page, and see if the problem can be resolved. May be the link is now active again in which case it is just a simple task of removing the template. May be an archived copy of the link can be located at the Wayback Machine, just add the link to the reference, if it is templated use the =archiveurl & =archivedate paramerters to record the new location of the link. If the site has been restructured then it may be possible to locate the same page used in the reference by following the links from the home page of the site. In this case replace the URL in the reference and remove the tag. Finally a replacement reference may need to be located if copies of the existing reference cannot be tracked down. If a new reference is used then the old reference and the tag can be removed.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The November 2010 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on 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. The latest listing was created on March 23rd.
- 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.
- Happy Christmas
Wishing all project members a Happy Christmas and thanks for all the work you have put in to the project over the last year. We have made great strides forward especially in the area of Good Articles and this month we have a bumper set of seven articles trying for GA status. Some passed the review while others did not, but even a try moves an article forward. Thanks to ll those involved in these articles and keep up the good work.
- Cleanup listing
Some members will know that we were subscribed to the clean-up listing that was produced on an occasional basis by a BOT. The BOT owner has left and has not released the source of the BOT for someone to pick-up. The last run of this BOT was in March of this year. Others have stepped in and produced a new tool that runs on the tool server to provide projects with similar information.
The clean-up listing gives details of all of the articles with the project's banner that have clean-up tags attached to them. The listing is in alphabetical order but can be sorted on class, importance or the number of different tags found in an article. If you want the listing grouped by the different tags then the tag grouped listing should be used.
According to the tool run dated 28 November of the 8,729 articles in this project 2,725 or 31.2% are marked for clean-up, though I am unsure how it gets the article count figure as that does not appear to match the counts from the assessment table.

- 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.
- Article Alerts
After nearly a year without the Article Alerts listing after the previous BOT operator departed a new BOT has been developed to give similar functionality. This was trialled on a few projects over the New Year period and has now been rolled out as a replacement for the original BOT. Just to remind members the listing gives changes to the status of articles tagged with the project template. It includes details such as good article candidate, articles up for deletion etc. the full list of workflows covered by the BOT can be seen here.
The BOT runs daily and updates the project listing at Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/Article alerts. The BOT edit summary indicates the extent of the change so if the listing is watchlisted you can quickly tell if there is anything that may be of interest. If there are things that the BOT does not pick-up then do report them here so that they can be fixed. If you think an article should be covered by the project then add the project template {{WikiProject Yorkshire}} to the talk page of the article.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The February 2011 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button 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.
- Great Backlog Drive
Most of you should have spotted the advertisement for the Great Backlog Drive that is under way at the moment. This is an initiative to reduce the number of tags that are attached to articles by attempting to fix as many of these as possible. Of cause some tags are more of a problem to fix than others but the purpose of the drive is to cut down the overall number of articles that have identified problems in them, rather than concentrate on specific problems. It would be good if project members got involved in this and fixed tags that they come across in their editing. It would also be helpful to avoid tagging new problems by fixing them when you spot the problem, though if you cannot fix it then tag for someone else to look at.
The project clean up listing gives a list of the more common tags attached to the project's articles, of which 32.1 % are marked for clean up, and can be found -
Those who want a challenge can get involved in the competition that is been run during the period - see here for details.

- 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.
- Commons images
For those of you who missed it, April saw a milestone for images on Commons with the upload of the 10 millionth image. There are images on most subjects, if you can find them, to illustrate articles. With the major work of transferring Geograph images to Commons nearing completion then most location articles should have images available for use in illustrating the subject. All of the village and civil parish articles that had articles in December 2009 had categories created on Commons for them so that the Geograph images can be placed into them. Thus the {{Commons category}} template can be added to all village and civil parish articles to link to all the available images on Commons for the location. Though beware that if the template does not have any arguments, moving of the article to a new name will break the link to Commons so it is wise to include the article name in the template call e.g.{{Commons category|Rotherham}}.
Those of you interested in helping out at Commons are more than welcome to help organise and categorise all of the uploaded Geograph images so that they can be found and made available to users.
For more details see the press release.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The May 2011 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button 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.
- Featured Lists
Featured Lists have been promoted during the last month and have now been given their own weekly slot on the main page. Lists appear on the front page on Mondays just above "Today's featured picture". This may be extended to other days at a later date if people like it. In line with this I have also added a box for lists on to the Yorkshire Portal and created a couple of entries to start it off, more will be added later.
The project currently has 12 featured lists, out of 208 project articles identified as lists, and it would be good if we could get some of these on to the front page. Of anyone wants to take this up they need to create an entry for the list and nominate them to be considered here.
Lists are easier than articles to get to featured status as there is less prose to be created and the bulk of the page is the list itself. Most of the project's current featured lists are on football related topics and it would be good to get a broader range of topics for out Featured Lists. Some of the 208 lists could be brought up to featured status with a little bit of work, if any one wants to take up the challenge.

- 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 -
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.
- Vandalism
With the start of the school holidays there is more chances of vandalism to articles at this time of year. It is time to remind members to be on the alert for vandalism to articles, especially those that are in the projects scope. Here is a recent example of one that slipped through the net this edit which was reverted by an IP over a month after it was made! You can check the changes to the project's tagged pages using the watchlist or you can use the toolserver version which looks at just articles here. The former may not be up to date, as it requires manual update of the list of articles, but does cover all namespaces.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The August 2011 articles selected below are an editor choice and a suggestion 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

- 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 -
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.
- Back to school
September and October are the months when many young people move from one school to a new school, or to university. It tends to be a time when freshers "look up" their new schools and colleges on Wikipedia and decide to edit for the first time. Many additions to school articles, in the past, have been unsourced, some poorly formatted and some in violation of other Wikipedia policies. More experienced editors can help here. It is easy to become frustrated, hit revert and issue a warning of some sort. How off-putting for a new editor.
New editors do make innocent mistakes and it is up to us all to try to welcome and support them; perhaps by issuing a welcome message, helping them to find sources or format references and citations. Obviously, not all will turn out to be paragons of Wikipedia virtue, but we can at least give them the opportunity. May be it is time for us all to re-read the essay Please do not bite the newcomers.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The September 2011 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

[edit] The Bugle: Issue LXVI, August 2011
[edit] Reclaiming Yorkshire on the web
Thank goodness Wikipedia does not have a monopoly on the web. Not every wiki project seems set on denying the existence of Yorkshire and busying itself with cutting the United Kingdom itself up. Not every wiki project is written in American and insists that every article be as bland, colourless and useless as possible in the name of "encyclopaedic content", and it is not just Wikipedia which feeds the rest of the web, though it does its best to be the monopoly provider.
Are you a member of the YRS by any chance?
Howard Alexander (talk) 19:47, 15 April 2011 (UTC)
- I have been elsewhere recently. It is far easier to write on a wiki which uses real counties and ridings and which does not strike down as "POV" anything with an adjective. (The WP article on Edinburgh does not use the word "magnificent" once, nor that on Lavenham the word "pretty", which suggests no understanding of either place.)
- While most counties have fulsome articles over at the rival concern, I will admit that one barely covered as yet is Yorkshire, but that is just because there is so much to be said about Yorkshire that it will take a man with great stamina to try to make a worthy article about it.

- New software release
October sees the next release of the MediaWiki software (version 1.8) that runs the English Wikipedia. It will probably live by the time the newsletter arrives by the last few month's delivery dates! If you see any problems with the page display on any articles or problems with your favourite gadget or script then it may be a problem with the new release of software. It is worth checking out the Village Pump - Technical board to see if there has been any report of a similar problem. If not then raise a new thread to get it recorded and to see if there are any of the technical people that can point you at a solution. Hopefully things will go smoother than previous releases but these things always throw up obscure problems that have not been foreseen.
If you are interested in the detail of the changes made in this release then take a look at the full list.

- 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 -
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.
- Collaboration
Each month the project has a collaboration of the month when two articles are nominated to be worked on by members during the month. One of these is usually a B-class article and one a start-class article. Some of these have not really been worked on by members and I would encourage all members to get involved and see what can be achieved. An example of the success of this effort has been Whitby which was the B-class collaboration article in July and has just achieved Good Article status. This was achieved by just the efforts of three editors just think what would be achieved if all of the 91 members got involved in editing these articles. They may not be ones which are of particular interest to you but they relate to Yorkshire in some way so they raise the profile of the county and can often be related to articles you are interested in in some way or other. I have tried to rotate round the county with a variety of differing topics while steering clear of the ones designated as our priority articles. If you have an article that you think could be improved in one of these collaborations then just nominate it on the project talk page and I will fit it in at some point.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The November 2011 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on the project talk page.
Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.
- Please bear in mind...

- 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 -
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.
- Happy Christmas
Happy Christmas to all the members of the project. Many thanks for all the hard work over the past year and hope that the good progress will be kept up in the new year. Many of the regular editors will be away over the break and vandalism tends to increase at this time of year, could be all those new computers that people get for Christmas. So if you are around then keep an eye out for vandalism to the project's articles and revert as soon as possible. All of the good work of the project can be destroyed quickly if vandalism is not spotted and dealt with.
- WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 2011 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions on 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

- New software release
We are getting near to the next release of the MediaWiki software that runs Wikipedia, this will be version 1.19 and is expected in the second half of February. For those of you who are interested in the details of the changes then take a look at this page on MediaWiki.org. There is usually some disruption around the time of the release so if you experience problems then check out at the Village Pump to see if the problem has been reported. If it has not then report it so that the developers can get a view of the problem. One area of concern is the scripts used by users to perform routine tasks. It could be that if this change is included in the deployment then scripts may need to be changed to declare modules the script is dependent upon. So if your favourite script fails to work this could be the problem and will need to be fixed.

Specific aims for the project are:-
- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)

- To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status

- 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 -
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.
- New software release
By the time you read this the new software release mentioned in the last newsletter should be in as it is currently scheduled for 2 March. Problems in switching other wikis have been encountered, most notably Commons, which was reverted twice and, at the time of writing, is still experiencing problems with the new software. See article in Signpost for details.
- Discussions
Members may be interested in some discussions that are ongoing at the moment. A discussion on whether or not secondary schools meet notability guidelines is still on-going. If you are interested in having articles on secondary schools then raise your voice in the discussion. Another schools related one is taking place on the talk page of template {{Infobox UK school}} about introducing co-ordinates in to the infobox in addition to the top right corner of the article.

The March 2012 articles selected below are an editors choice as there were no suggestions on 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.
- Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...
