Sorry. Was it something I said? Very sorry to see you go, HL, you did a great deal of good editing in Northern England articles. Had not seen you around for quite a while. Martinevans123 (talk) 15:12, 17 May 2013 (UTC)[reply]
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 10,659 last month to 10,691 on August 21st). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 106 is ahead of WP:GM who have 79. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 57 out of a total number of 3,277 articles.
Currently we have thirty 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.
Wiki Loves Monuments
This month sees the UK participating in the Wiki Loves Monuments competition for the first time. The aim is to capture images of Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings and to upload them to Commons. Many monuments have no images available for them or need better ones without clutter in view. The lists of the monuments have been produced on a county basis, some already existed as wiki articles, and have been enhanced as part of this process. A full list of the English lists for use in the competition are available at listed buildings in England. If you are interested in taking part then take a look at the UK home page for further details. You do not have to take images in Yorkshire but it would be helpful if those in the area would help out to try and get at least one image for every monument in our area. Would be good to get some of the unusual or overlooked ones, for example we have several of "Sewerby House", but no good ones of the "Terrace Balustrade and Attached Garden Wall and Archway to Sewerby House" as this appears as an incidental item in images of the main house.

The September 2013 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.

Wiki Loves Monuments
Last month saw the UK participating in the Wiki Loves Monuments competition for the first time. The aim was to capture images of Grade I and Grade II* listed buildings and to upload them to Commons. Many monuments have no images available for them or need better ones without clutter in view. The result of this initiative produced a total of 8,605 images for the whole of England of which 73 related to Yorkshire, assuming the tagging was done correctly.
The breakdown of the Yorkshire images is –
North Yorkshire – 43
East Riding of Yorkshire – 26
West Yorkshire – 18
South Yorkshire – 2

Congratulations! You have one of the 100 longest user talk pages on the English Wikipedia!
Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.
You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)
I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the meetup page.
Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.
York has been nominated for a good article reassessment. If you are interested in the discussion, please participate by adding your comments to the reassessment page. If concerns are not addressed during the review period, the good article status may be removed from the article. Z1720 (talk) 18:02, 19 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
