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 12,996 last month to 13,004 on 30 November). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 132 is ahead of WP:GM who have 85. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 61 out of a total number of 3,727 articles.
Currently we have forty two 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.
Happy Christmas
Its that time of year again to wish all our members a Happy Christmas and a big thanks for all of the hard work put in throughout the year.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 2016 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.

Olney
I think at one point the side-box said her husband was Ben Olney. She herself, as you rightly observe, did not! Which gives me great comfort. The times are changing, but we do not necessarily have to change with them.

Hello, I'm John. I noticed that you made a change to an article, but you didn't provide a reliable source. It's been removed and archived in the page history for now, but if you'd like to include a citation and re-add it, please do so! If you need guidance on referencing, please see the referencing for beginners tutorial, or if you think I made a mistake, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Thank you. --John (talk) 09:30, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Could you please provide some kind of argument/evidence backing up your position? As I've stated above, WP:BLPSOURCES refers to tabloid journalism not tabloids. This is stop people using the typical gossip articles that the tabloids publish, eg "Did Brad Pitt have an AFFAIR with Marion Cotillard? [1]". It is not a stop on all use of tabloid newspaper articles. Gaia Octavia AgrippaTalk 12:23, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Your interpretation of WP:BLPSOURCES is interesting and novel. It would definitely be worth getting consensus at WP:BLPN before restoring this material. Most people would accept that the Sun is a tabloid that should never be used on BLPs. --John (talk) 12:30, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
John, before I move it over there, could you please explain your argument? I have explained mine. Gaia Octavia AgrippaTalk 12:38, 3 December 2016 (UTC)
Review?
Gaia Octavia Agrippina salve!
I wish to introduce a new article, of biography. Would you like to review it? It would be my fourth, and the first male. I wasn't really feeling the love on the previous three... It is a beautiful morning where I am, and I am therefore ready to let WP introduce its usual intemperence. Thank you.
