Spotlight: "Global Impact: The Wikipedia Library and Persian Wikipedia" - a Persian Wikipedia editor talks about their experiences with database access in Iran, writing on the Persian project and the JSTOR partnership
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 11,606 in November to 11,657 on January 6th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 112 is ahead of WP:GM who have 83. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 57 out of a total number of 3,450 articles.
Currently we have thirty three Yorkshire featured articles:
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 New Year
It is another year and time to wish all project members a Happy New Year.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The January 2015 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from 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.
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...

Disambiguation link notification for January 9
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited 2015 Challenge Cup, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Nottingham Outlaws. Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.
Regarding deletion of the Beyond the Page Theatre Company page
I'm still in the process of editing. For references, I'm still trying to figure everything out, but thank you for letting me know to focus on that. As for whether the Company is more than a local theatre company, I mentioned in my article that the Company has been nominated to participate in the Edinburgh Fringe Festival in Edinburgh, Scotland. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Emma.norville (talk • contribs) 15:13, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
Emma, great - then hopefully you have some international references that can be added. Depending on their participation at the Fringe a lot of UK papers review Fringe productions. Nthep (talk) 15:19, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
The company has been nominated, they have not gone yet. They will attend this summer. I will be sure to include links as soon as I can. Thank you! Also, in regards to an earlier comment, how do I make my sources less weak? Emma.norville (talk) 17:18, 15 January 2015 (UTC)Emma.norville[reply]
@Emma.norville:, looking at some of the references they are little more than passing mentions. For example this one is just a notice that the performances are happening. What is needed are reviews of the show and the company. The awards show you've got talent so there should be sources that tell readers that. Nthep (talk) 20:46, 15 January 2015 (UTC)[reply]
I think I've strengthened my references. Thank you for your help!
