Welcome to the one hundred and eighty fourth WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
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 18,727 last month to 18,781 on 29 July 2023). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 211 is ahead of WP:GM who have 91. WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 92 while WP:GM has 66 out of a total number of 4,868 articles.
Currently we have seventy five 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.
Yorkshire Day
Happy Yorkshire Day to all the project members. I have selected the article as the start-class article for improvement for this month. So take a look at what is there and see if you can improve it.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The August 2023 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations 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.
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.
