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 9,266 last month to 9,354 on October 30th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 70 is just ahead of WP:GM who have 66. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 52 out of a total number of 2,835 articles.
Currently we have twenty eight 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.
Collaboration
Each month the project has a collaboration of the month when two articles are nominated to be worked on by members during the month. One of these is usually a B-class article and one a start-class article. Some of these have not really been worked on by members and I would encourage all members to get involved and see what can be achieved. An example of the success of this effort has been Whitby which was the B-class collaboration article in July and has just achieved Good Article status. This was achieved by just the efforts of three editors just think what would be achieved if all of the 91 members got involved in editing these articles. They may not be ones which are of particular interest to you but they relate to Yorkshire in some way so they raise the profile of the county and can often be related to articles you are interested in in some way or other. I have tried to rotate round the county with a variety of differing topics while steering clear of the ones designated as our priority articles. If you have an article that you think could be improved in one of these collaborations then just nominate it on the project talk page and I will fit it in at some point.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The November 2011 articles selected below are the editors choice as no one came up with any other suggestions 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.
