Welcome to the one hundred and ninty fifth WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
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 19,422 last month to 19,543 on 29 June 2024). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 220 is ahead of WP:GM who have 91. WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 93 while WP:GM has 65 out of a total number of 5,085 articles.
Currently we have seventy six 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.
General Election
This month will see the General Election take place with a raft of boundary changes for the constituencies, thanks to the boundary commission review. A lot of work has been done on updating the constituency articles to cover the changes and new articles created for the new constituencies. Once results are in there will be changes to make to all of the candidate articles to show their new status as MP or not as the case may be. There will also be changes to make to the settlement articles to show the new MP and may be change the constituency if the boundary changes affect it.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The July 2024 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations 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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

@DayGG. I am from York in England but that is not relevant on Wikipedia. I see you have blanked the infobox of the article, I will give you a warning for that. -- Malcolmxl5 (talk) 11:50, 21 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@DayGG. You are new here and I see that you don’t understand how Wikipedia works. Let me explain. Wikipedia is based on reliable sources. Editors summarise what has been written - by people who do know something about it - in reliable sources.
Hi Malcolmxl5 - thanks for blocking this IP, who changed images in medical articles to images of video games. Just wanted to give a heads up that this is a long term vandal, and a 31 hour block might not be enough - see here for their previous IP's doing identical vandalism on the same articles:
Your recent deletion of a page made by this LTA IP (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:Contributions/125.198.46.115) should probably be SALTed to make sure no other socks pop up. Jdcomix (talk) 13:29, 29 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
