; 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 [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status |
|||
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|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]] • [[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. |

|||
Please nominate future articles for improvement at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]]. |
|||
; '''Please bear in mind...''' |
|||
[[File:Ambox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [https://tools.wmflabs.org/bambots/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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''<br />Use the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/WatchAll|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''<br />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. |
