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 9,354 last month to 9,459 on November 29th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 69 is just ahead of WP:GM who have 67. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 52 out of a total number of 2,857 articles.
Currently we have twenty nine 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
Happy Christmas to all the members of the project. Many thanks for all the hard work over the past year and hope that the good progress will be kept up in the new year. Many of the regular editors will be away over the break and vandalism tends to increase at this time of year, could be all those new computers that people get for Christmas. So if you are around then keep an eye out for vandalism to the project's articles and revert as soon as possible. All of the good work of the project can be destroyed quickly if vandalism is not spotted and dealt with.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 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.
