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 12,503 last month to 12,534 on 3 April). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 123 is ahead of WP:GM who have 85. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 61 out of a total number of 3,586 articles.
Currently we have forty 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.

Questions about adoption
How do I......
Hi, I saw that you were available for adopting users and since I wanted to be adopted, I investigated your userpage and your accomplishments. I decided I trusted you (you can probably tell I am very wary, probably too much so!) and so I went to your adoption page. I learned the first lesson and tried to take the test, but I'm not sure how to put the answer down. Do I click edit source and then put my answer in? Or do I put my answers for the tests on your talk page? Elsa Enchanted (talk) 15:42, 7 April 2016 (UTC)
