Wiki Loves Monuments
This month sees the UK participating in the Wiki Loves Monuments competition for the second time. The aim is to capture images of monuments (mainly 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 were produced on a county basis last year. 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. May be the annual Heritage Open Days will provide opportunities for photos of places not usually open to the public.

Orphaned non-free image File:Ocado logo.PNG
Thanks for uploading File:Ocado logo.PNG. The image description page currently specifies that the image is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use.

You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that images for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

Elections
With the general election and local elections taking place on 7 May there will be a large number of articles that will need to be updated with the election results when they are declared. Also there will be new articles needed for the election results and for newly elected MPs who we have no articles for. Would be good if these new articles could be tagged with the project banner if they are relevant to the area so that they can be tracked. Please keep an eye on the articles of any candidates so that they remain neutral and are not vandalised, as they will be popular pages at the moment.
