Welcome to the one hundred and ninty third 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 19,275 last month to 19,335 on 28 April 2024). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 220 is ahead of WP:GM who have 90. WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 93 while WP:GM has 65 out of a total number of 5,054 articles.
Currently we have seventy six 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.
Elections
This is the month for local elections, Mayoral elections and Police and Crime Commissioner elections. There will be a large number of results articles that need creating or updating. There will also be updates to most of the location articles, with changes to the governess sections and infoboxes. Not to mention the people articles for those standing for election.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The May 2024 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.
