Hello, Nthep. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.
Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.
In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:
Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you. This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)
My thinking was kinda stuck in a box on this one. The best move for either you the nominator or me the first vote would have been to create boldly the appropriate redirect, and note that at the AfD. It would have simplified things greatly. I'm going to do that anyway. This whole mess is certainly a good arguement for improvement in the NPP process.

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 12,822 last month to 12,859 on 30 September). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 132 is ahead of WP:GM who have 85. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 61 out of a total number of 3,693 articles.
Currently we have forty one 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.
See how template parameters are used
The following was reported in Signpost and is very useful for finding mistakes in template usage.
The Template Parameters tool is now available on Tool Labs, for viewing template parameter usage. It works with TemplateData to show the validity of parameter names that are used in template transclusions. For a required parameter, it can display a list of pages where the template is missing the parameter. The tool also shows commonly used values for each parameter. The data is updated monthly.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The October 2016 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.

Hello. I was wondering if you could ask some people that you know if they could help me create an article about rotodomes. If you could I would appreciate it.
@Bob.smith.69: Thanks but as per the notice you will have to get an email from him and submit it. The licence you have used says it is your image and you have given up all copyright on it. Nthep (talk) 19:51, 18 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
@Sussex Wolves: you can create any article by typing the name (with the correct capitalisation) into the search box. If no article exists you'll be given a link to create it. A plea,please include something to identify the subject and what they are known for, rather than just a name and a load of unreferenced achievements. Nthep (talk) 19:43, 19 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello. Could you please help me in uploading some pictures? I'm new here and I don't really know how to do it. Could you please do it yourself? I need these pictures uploaded for the following articles:
@Mutaito0321: sorry, no. You're asking for a number of images to be uploaded without any explanation as to why or how they meet Wikipedia:image use policy. It is highly unlikely that any of theses images are public domain images so uploading them would be breaching copyright. Image use and licencing is one of the most difficult topics to understand on Wikipedia and is why new users, like yourself, cannot add images. I'd suggest that for the time being you concentrate on improving the articles you have created as neither of them contain any references to establish why they are notable topics that should be on Wikipedia. Nthep (talk) 21:47, 20 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
If you review the articles that I've mentioned above, the pictures uploaded are really bad ones or there isn't a picture at all! I'm asking to provide better pictures. That's all. Hope you understand what I meant.
