Assessment
Assess and review

As of 30 August 2013, we have assessed 100% of all articles with a project banner. (Some new and additional article talk pages may still require a banner however)

Thanks

Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.

Specific aims for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status
To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.

Priority Articles

The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber

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.

WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The September 2013 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

Month	Dates	Article(s)
Month	Dates	B class choice	Start class choice
XXXXI	1 May 2013 ~ 31 May 2013	Humberside	Markham Main Colliery
XXXXII	1 Jun 2013 ~ 30 Jun 2013	Humber Forts	RAF Skipton-on-Swale

XXXXV	1 Sep 2013 ~ 30 Sep 2013	Transport in Sheffield	River Esk, North Yorkshire

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.

Please bear in mind...

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.

Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

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

Assessment
Assess and review

As of 22 February 2014, we have assessed 100% of all articles with a project banner. (Some new and additional article talk pages may still require a banner however)

Thanks

Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.

Specific aims for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
To bring our top level article Yorkshire up to Featured article status
To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.

Priority Articles

The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber

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.

WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The March 2014 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

Month	Dates	Article(s)
Month	Dates	B class choice	Start class choice

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.

Please bear in mind...

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.
