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 11,657 last month to 11,759 on January 29th). 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 3,462 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.

Disambiguation link notification for February 18
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Raymond Roberts (priest), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Commissioned. 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.

Leakey VC
Nice work there. I've nominated this at Wikipedia:In the news/Candidates#Joshua Leakey - past discussions have tended not to be in favour of posting VC recipients (or their equivalents in other countries) but some have been posted, so we shall see. BencherliteTalk 11:29, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
Thank you
On 26 February 2015, In the news was updated with an item that involved the article Joshua Leakey, which you substantially updated. If you know of another recently created or updated article suitable for inclusion in ITN, please suggest it on the candidates page.
Hi Gaia. I see you have again re-added postnominals to Joshua Leakey's infobox. However, as I mentioned in my previous edit comment, it is not at all standard practice to include postnominals in infoboxes, even if the individual is a recipient of the VC or GC. Take the articles on other recent VC or GC recipients like Daniel Keighran, James Ashworth, Matthew Croucher and Olaf Schmid, or even the FA or GA rated articles I have written on VC recipients (see here). None of these articles include postnominals in the infobox. While there is some precedent to include them in the articles of politicians or vice regal appointees, there is little for military personnel. There is also the fact that the name section of the military infobox is only small, and adding postnominals not only clutters the space but detracts from the individual's actual name. In any case, the postnominals are located slightly to the left of the infobox, beside the person's name in the lead where they belong. Adding postnominals to the infobox is simple repetition of content for absolutely no benefit. Cheers, Abraham, B.S. (talk) 07:03, 27 February 2015 (UTC)
