Please nominate yourself at WT:YORKS! New editors are always welcome! Aims After discussion at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008. Specific aims for the project are:- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below) 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 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below) To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members and apropos of the above a 2010 New Year article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised. Priority Articles The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows - Bradford • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • 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. Art+Feminism Edit-a-thon There is an edit-a-thon on the subject of Art+Feminism to be held at the Hepworth Wakefield on Sunday 8 March 2015. Any members who fit the criteria "Women and allies of all genders, including non-binary gender identities" in the Wakefield area who can get to the event would be welcome to participate. For more information and to sign-up see the event page. WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project The March 2015 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page. Month Dates Article(s) B class choice Start class choice 59 1 Nov 2014 ~ 30 Nov 2014 Spring Hall River Dove, North Yorkshire 60 1 Dec 2014 ~ 31 Dec 2014 St Mary Magdalene, Yarm Sand Hutton Miniature Railway 61 1 Jan 2015 ~ 31 Jan 2015 William Nicholson, 1st Baron Nicholson The Circle, Kingston upon Hull 62 1 Feb 2015 ~ 28 Feb 2015 Chris Moyles Ulley Reservoir 63 1 Mar 2015 ~ 31 Mar 2015 Cliffe Castle Museum Victoria Bridge (Stockton-on-Tees) Please nominate future articles for improvement at Misplaced Pages talk:WikiProject Yorkshire. Please bear in mind... 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.

Wikiproject Insect

Hi Mishae,

Please refrain from removing the Wikiproject Insects tag from insect related articles when added the Beetles tag. It's best to gain consensus on this widespread of a project removal at the project itself before implementing such a change. A discussion has been started here. Kingofaces43 (talk) 01:44, 31 March 2015 (UTC)

Again, please refrain from removing the project tag. Your behavior is becoming disruptive now by trying to edit war our the tags while discussion is ongoing and it is violating the guidelines for interacting with other Wikiprojects as you've been made aware. This can result in a block if you continue to implement such widespread changes without consensus, so I highly suggest taking the time to slow down and just add the Beetles tag instead of replacing the Insect one. It's going to take a lot of work to undo this, and I definitely don't have time to do that today. Kingofaces43 (talk) 09:49, 31 March 2015 (UTC)
