; Project News

Welcome to the 219th WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ monthly newsletter.

Thanks to the contributions of our many members and supporters, WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ has become a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 21,830 last month to 21,946 on 29 June 2026). In the area of GAs WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ at 249 is ahead of WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ who have 89. WikiProject Yorkshire ↗ also has the lead in FAs at 101 while WikiProject Greater Manchester ↗ has 66 out of a total number of 5,911 articles.

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See Assessment)

To recruit more active editors (See Member News)

To bring our top level article Yorkshire ↗ up to Featured article ↗ status

To bring all other top priority articles (currently 19 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article ↗ status

To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive

To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

Bradford ↗ • Charlotte Brontë ↗ • Count Dracula ↗ • Doncaster ↗ • East Riding of Yorkshire ↗ • Henry Moore ↗ • Kingston upon Hull ↗ • Leeds ↗ • Northern England ↗ • North Yorkshire ↗ • Ripon ↗ • Sheffield ↗ • South Yorkshire ↗ • Wakefield ↗ • West Yorkshire ↗ • William Wilberforce ↗ • York ↗ • Yorkshire ↗ • Yorkshire and the Humber ↗

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.

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire ↗.

; '''Please bear in mind...'''

File:Imbox style.png ↗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, usually on a Tuesday.

''Monitoring is essential''<br />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''<br />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.

;Thanks

A very big {{Thank you}} to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal ↗.

To the football and rugby editors who have done sterling work in keeping abreast of the top clubs.

To all the WikiProject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist ↗.

{{Great}}
