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 11,461 last month to 11,606 on October 25th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 112 is ahead of WP:GM who have 83. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 57 out of a total number of 3,422 articles.
Currently we have thirty three 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.

Correction on Sean Connery page.
I did not realize that s meant shilling. I thought it was something left over from a previous edit that I was attempting to clean up. Thank you for correcting my mistake. Gabe1972 (talk) 11:48, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
May be needs clarifying for those who do not know old UK currency, possibly a dash to join the parts together. Keith D (talk) 11:57, 18 November 2014 (UTC)
(talk page stalker) Or just in the standard notation of the time, maybe with an appropriate link? As for Gabe1972, the clue (05/02/71) is perhaps in the user name! :) Best wishes to all DBaK (talk) 12:26, 18 November 2014 (UTC)

Article counts
The observant will spot that the article figures are unchanged since the last newsletter as the BOT is not updating the tables at the moment and the manual update is not accessible. Hopefully it will be back in operation for the New Year edition of the newsletter.

Greetings. Sorry I've been away from WP for a while.
This evening on the BBC1 documentary programme Inside Out, the above subject was given some very negative exposure, in which Bunting's own relatives witnessed that he was a child abuser whose conservationist achievements, they said, should not be celebrated, and that they thought that his name should be removed from Bunting Wood at Thorne Moor and possibly from other sites. Although, of course, this type of information should in due course be added to the article, there is the possibility that the programme may initiate a temporary burst of vandalism to the article. As I'm not currently in a position to edit WP regularly, please may I request that you or and admin colleague keep an eye on this article? Thanks. --Storye book (talk) 19:55, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Thanks for pointing this out. I have added it to watchlist in case there is any unusual activity. Keith D (talk) 20:27, 12 January 2015 (UTC)
Thank you. --Storye book (talk) 08:35, 23 January 2015 (UTC)

January 2015
Hello, I'm Sock. I wanted to let you know that I undid one or more of your recent contributions to Keeping Up Appearances because it did not appear constructive. If you would like to experiment, please use the sandbox. If you think I made a mistake, or if you have any questions, you can leave me a message on my talk page. Sock(tock talk) 17:42, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
I have reverted as the edit I originally reverted was just a repetition of the whole article. Keith D (talk) 17:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
I replied below. This was a blunder on my part. I didn't check the editor name, or I would've known I was just looking at it the wrong way. Thanks Keith! Sock(tock talk) 17:48, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
Keeping Up Appearances
Thank you for catching that. From what I could see on STiki, it looked like a page blank. I'm still new to the software (in that I downloaded it ten minutes ago), so thanks for fixing my error! Sock(tock talk) 17:47, 18 January 2015 (UTC)
