WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The June 2014 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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

Disambiguation link notification for June 8
Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Wikipedia appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Francis Wallington, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Territorial Army (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Tools
Just a reminder to members that the toolserver will have been removed from service by the time you read this newsletter. If your favourite tool is not operating then this may be the reason. Most of the tools have been ported to run on Wikimedia Labs, which is the replacement infrastructure for this type of activity. So have a look round and see if the one you are interested in has been ported or not. If not then get in touch with the person who looks after it and see if it can be ported over.
