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 10,234 last month to 10,275 on November 27th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 91 is just ahead of WP:GM who have 72. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 57 out of a total number of 3,163 articles.
Currently we have thirty 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.
Signpost
The editors over at the weekly Signpost, that goes out to a large number of people on Wikipedia, have indicated that they would like to feature the Yorkshire project in one of the future editions. There was an invitation on the project's talk page for members to get involved in this by responding to a series of questions. It is disappointing that no members have stepped forward to respond to this but they have gone on my responses and the project should be featured in the 3rd December issue of the magazine.
Happy Christmas
It is Christmas time again so I would like to take this opportunity to wish all members of the project a happy Christmas.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 2012 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.
