| ; Aims | |||
| After discussion at ] 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 ] up to ] status | |||
| *To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least ] 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. | |||
| ;Images | |||
| As a change from all the election related material this month I thought that we could look at images. With summer on its way in England then it is time to spend away from the computer and in the great outdoors. There are many events and places to visit so if you are taking time out at any of these then take along your camera and capture the scene. Then when back home you can upload the images to ] so that they can be used on any of the projects run by the foundation. This is preferred to uploading just to Misplaced Pages as they are more widely available to other projects and save time of people having to make the transfer of suitable images. When uploading images to Commons then you need to categorise the image to enable it to be located easily and to group it with others of a similar theme. It is best to put it in a specific category, but if you cannot find one then pick the best fit you can and others will shift it around into more suitable categories. The process is similar to article categorisation and multiple categories can be added, as appropriate, but an image should not normally be placed in a category and one of it's sub-categories. | |||
| There are a number of articles requiring images and the Yorkshire related ones can be found ]. Take a look before you go out as you may be able to fulfil one of the requests while out visiting. | |||
| If you locate an article that requires an image and no suitable image is available then add the {{tl|reqphoto}} template to the article talk page to flag the article appropriately. If you want an image of a specific thing then you can use the '''of=''' parameter to give details. For example, if an interior shot is required of the building that is the subject of the article then use '''<nowiki>{{reqphoto|of=interior}}</nowiki>'''. You can narrow the image to a location by using the '''in=''' parameter, '''<nowiki>{{reqphoto|in=Yorkshire}}</nowiki>''' will request a photo in Yorkshire. If you use North Yorkshire, South Yorkshire, West Yorkshire or the East Riding of Yorkshire in place of Yorkshire then it will categorise in the appropriate sub-category but will not show up in the request box. A way round this is to apply Yorkshire and the division to the request and they will show up but remain unlinked. So to a request an image in the East Riding of Yorkshire it may be best to use '''<nowiki>{{reqphoto|in=Yorkshire|in2=the East Riding of Yorkshire}}</nowiki>''' to show in the request box and classify it in both ] and ]. | |||
| For biographical articles the biography project template {{tl|WPBiography}} has a '''needs-photo=''' parameter which should be set to yes if a photograph is required. | |||
| When adding an image to an article also check the talk page and remove the flags if the image fulfils the request. | |||

Richard Goldstone - new version
You commented recently on some BLP issues concerning Richard Goldstone. I've written a considerably expanded and improved version of the article in my userspace at User:ChrisO/Goldstone. If you have any comments about this new version before it gets transferred into article space, please feel free to comment at Talk:Richard Goldstone#New version. -- ChrisO (talk) 23:26, 24 May 2010 (UTC)
Notification: General sanctions and 1RR restriction on Richard Goldstone
As a result of an arbitration case, the Arbitration Committee has acknowledged long-term and persistent problems in the editing of articles related to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict, broadly understood. As a result, the Committee has enacted broad editing restrictions, described here and below.
- Any uninvolved administrator may, on his or her own discretion, impose sanctions on any editor working in the area of conflict if, despite being warned, that editor repeatedly or seriously fails to adhere to the purpose of Misplaced Pages, any expected standards of behavior, or any normal editorial process.
- The sanctions imposed may include blocks of up to one year in length; bans from editing any page or set of pages within the area of conflict; bans on any editing related to the topic or its closely related topics; restrictions on reverts or other specified behaviors; or any other measures which the imposing administrator believes are reasonably necessary to ensure the smooth functioning of the project.
- Prior to any sanctions being imposed, the editor in question shall be given a warning with a link to this decision; and, where appropriate, should be counseled on specific steps that he or she can take to improve his or her editing in accordance with relevant policies and guidelines.
- Discretionary sanctions imposed under the provisions of this decision may be appealed to the imposing administrator, the appropriate administrators' noticeboard (currently WP:AE), or the Committee.
These editing restrictions may be applied to any editor for cause, provided the editor has been previously informed of the case. This message is to so inform you. This message does not necessarily mean that your current editing has been deemed a problem; this is a template message crafted to make it easier to notify any user who has edited the topic of the existence of these sanctions.
Generally, the next step, if an administrator feels your conduct on pages in this topic area is disruptive, would be a warning, to be followed by the imposition of sanctions (although in cases of serious disruption, the warning may be omitted). Hopefully no such action will be necessary.
This notice is only effective if given by an administrator and logged here.
- In relation to the above, you are informed that the Richard Goldstone article is under a blanket 1RR restriction and violations of this restriction will result in escalating blocks and/or topic/page bans. Thank you for your cooperation. HJ Mitchell | Penny for your thoughts? 22:15, 26 May 2010 (UTC)
