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 9,083 last month to 9,157 on July 29th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 68 is just ahead of WP:GM who have 64. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 51 out of a total number of 2,766 articles.
Currently we have twenty five 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.
Vandalism
With the start of the school holidays there is more chances of vandalism to articles at this time of year. It is time to remind members to be on the alert for vandalism to articles, especially those that are in the projects scope.
Here is a recent example of one that slipped through the net this edit which was reverted by an IP over a month after it was made! You can check the changes to the project's tagged pages using the watchlist or you can use the toolserver version which looks at just articles here. The former may not be up to date, as it requires manual update of the list of articles, but does cover all namespaces.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The August 2011 articles selected below are an editor choice and a suggestion 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.
