On January 18, 2010, Did you know? was updated with a fact from the article Cliffe, Richmondshire, which you created or substantially expanded. You are welcome to check how many hits your article got while on the front page (here's how, quick check ) and add it to DYKSTATS if it got over 5,000. If you know of another interesting fact from a recently created article, then please suggest it on the Did you know? talk page.
Hiya! Like myself you appreciate good photo's. I've just deleted what I though was a very poor quality, out of focuss, low resolution photo that was probably taken on a mobile phone, from the Education section of the Huddersfield article and also the same image from the University of Huddersfield article. However the same 'photographer has also placed an image of the Kingsgate shopping centre entrance to the Huddersfield article. That is passable as a small image however when taken to its full resolution its pretty grotty and I feel it is detrimental to the article. I wondered if you would care to take a look and comment before I get accused of being to bold in deleting them! <lol> Richard Harvey (talk) 19:30, 18 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]
He has a fair few uploaded to commons, see his gallery [1], some are good, which is why I am surprised those I deleted were actually uploaded. Some are good street scenes, whilst others are debatable in their relevance to Wiki. I would say he's not yet got his eye in, in that the camera does not show what his eyes are seeing, with regards to getting the right image perspective. Though thats probably due to a need for a better quality camera than a Kodak EasyShare (which have a poor optical lens for anything more than a few yards away) to reduce the curvature of walls and lamp posts, etc. I haven't seen the template you mentioned, I will have to go on a hunting session. I will leave the Kingsgate image until I find something 'none Xmassy' to replace it. I don't feel a University of Huddersfield image is required on the article, partly as there is an article on the university, but having one educational establishment image there sets a precedent to include others such as Kirklees College and Greenhead College.

This message was placed automatically, and it is possible that the bot is confused and found similarity where none actually exists. If that is the case, you can remove the tag from the article and it would be appreciated if you could drop a note on the maintainer's talk page.

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 7,888 last month to 7,950 on January 29th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 53 is just ahead of WP:GM who have 52. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 43 out of a total number of 2,074 articles.
Currently we have seventeen Yorkshire featured articles:
There are now 73 members of WikiProject Yorkshire! The membership remaining unchanged since the last newsletter though the number of
active members is currently low.
Thanks
A very big Thank you to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.
To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal.
To the football and rugby editors who have done stirling work in keeping abreast of the top clubs.
To all the WikiProkject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist.
Great!
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.
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.
Assessment
This month we focus on article assessment as a lot of work has been going on behind the scenes on this. In January the new version of the bot used for generating the information was deployed. For the observant you will have noticed the changes made to the assessment table on the left, it now has details of all of the pages other than articles that are tagged with the project banner. Now you can see counts of the categories, templates, files and other miscellaneous tagged pages that the project is looking after. The article count earlier in the newsletter does not include all of the newly reported classes as they are not really articles.
A new facility is the ability to click on any of the numbers and get a list of the articles that are in the intersection of the article importance rating with the quality rating. For example this enables you to see all of the articles that the project has rated as high priority stub-class articles. This is something that was not readily available prior to this revision of the bot.
The quality ratings are only valid at the time they are done and may be out of date as some of the assessments were done over two years ago. Many of the articles have changed since they were rated so it would be good if members could re-rate them when they see substantial changes to a particular article or flag it up for someone more experienced to take a look at and revise the quality rating if appropriate. Many of the articles were rated before the introduction of the C-class rating so may be over rated as B-class articles or under rated as Start-class articles.
Other changes have taken place in the formatting of the log files and more is to come. The data is now stored in a database off wiki and so tools can be written to generate further reports, have customised rating levels for projects etc. The bot is also able to get through the articles quicker and so is reporting changes daily rather than about weekly as with the previous version.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The February 2010 articles selected below are as discussed 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. The latest listing was created on December 11th.
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.
