[edit] WP:AWB

Hi, you are so close! You have 461 edits to Mainspace, and 500 is the minimum unless you can make a case for needing AWB. You can either wait for another 40+ edits or expand your application on the AWB page. I won't delete your application, but will leave it up to you as to what you wish to do. I'll leave a note there. Cheers. --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 22:55, 16 April 2008 (UTC)

Hi. Since your count now shows you with 501 mainspace edits out of 1570 total, you are approved. Enjoy! --Rodhullandemu (Talk) 19:57, 21 April 2008 (UTC)

I've had a quick look through some of your edits on T&A08. Good work, well done :) Oh, and if you're still looking for adoption, I might be able to manage something end of May.

[edit] Did You Know question

I co-wrote an article about DYK for the next Signpost. Let me know on my talk page if there's anything that can be done to make the topic clearer. Royalbroil 02:05, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

How would you like to be involved with DYK? Most people write an article doing a good job with the references and following standards.

Are you interested in being involved with the behind the scenes work? If so, do you have a handle on writing articles with respect to WP:MOS, WP:CITE, etc.? Would you provide me a recent article that you started to confirm this? Royal broil 20:41, 3 May 2008 (UTC)

The non-admin help that we have is for experienced contributors to help determine whether or not an article meets the DYK rules. Those rules are 1) it was created/started on the date that it is listed under (using Wikipedia/UTC/Greenwich Mean time), 2) it meets the size criteria (at least 1,500 characters which are not contained in lists, large quotes, references, etc.) or that it was expanded to become at least 5 times its previous size since that start date 3) that it uses a reliable source with an inline citation to reference that fact 4) that it's interesting and at least somewhat surprising 5) that there are no maintenance tags like cleanup, unreferenced, wikification needed, etc. and 6) that it looks and reads good (professional-type quality [not a good article], well-written, understandable, etc.). On point #3, we have been actually looking at all online references to ensure that it actually says what's in the hook. Since you want to learn more and feel like you're not at that level yet, would you like me to mentor you for doing that task? I can think of a several phase learning process to mentor you.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Ross Kemp in Afgan.PNG

Thanks for uploading Image:Ross Kemp in Afgan.PNG. You've indicated that the image meets Wikipedia's criteria for non-free content, but there is no explanation of why it meets those criteria. Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. If you have any questions, please post them at Wikipedia:Media copyright questions.

Thank you for your cooperation. NOTE: once you correct this, please remove the tag from the image's page. STBotI (talk) 17:35, 28 April 2008 (UTC)

[edit] RE:User page

Thanks for letting me know. It was merely a piece of the code of the page being glitchy with Internet Explorer. I fixed it so the stars appear next to the featured articles I recorded rather than all the way at the bottom.¤~Persian Poet Gal ^(talk) 00:08, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

Project News

One of the new aims of the project was to produce a monthly newsletter to be circulated to members. This is it!

Priorities are still being discussed; please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire

Currently there are nine Yorkshire featured articles:

Sheffield • History of Sheffield • Sheffield Wednesday F.C. • York City F.C. • M62 motorway • Henry Moore • George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore • Stocksbridge Park Steels F.C. • Valley Parade

There are also seven featured lists:

List of York City F.C. Clubmen of the Year • List of York City F.C. managers • List of York City F.C. players • York City F.C. seasons • Bradford City A.F.C. seasons • List of York City F.C. statistics and records • Leeds United A.F.C. seasons

Thank you and well done to all those who contributed.

Kingston upon Hull was nominated for GA Status on April 28th

WP:YORKS is a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (3343 on April 27th). WP:GM has the lead in FAs. WP:YORKS is lacking in the area of GAs and falls well behind WP:LONDON. This topic was at the front of the new aims discussion and is an important issue for WP:YORKS.

As mentioned above, new aims have been decided. See the right hand column for more details.

Member News

There are now 45 members of WikiProject Yorkshire! A warm welcome to the 2 new members that have joined us since March:

Paulrach (talk · contribs)

No users left the WikiProject this month, but the list may need trimming to account for the one user who was permanently blocked and one who seems not to exist. There are also several who have not contributed to Wikipedia for some months.

The format of the member list has been altered to:

allow easier editing for new members
assist members to communicate more easily (by including members talk pages)
allow member to keep up to date with each other's contributions

Thanks

The Yorkshire Portal continues to be maintained by User:Kaly99. Many thanks.

A big "thank you" to all the editors who help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

Would you like to write the next newsletter for WP:YORKS?? Please nominate yourself at WT:YORKS! New editors are always welcome!

New Aims

After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.

Specific aims for the project are:-

To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles
To recruit more active editors
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
To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

The top priority articles that have been identified to date and their current ratings are as follows -

Bradford - B
East Riding of Yorkshire - B
Henry Moore - FA - but would be demoted for lack of references if reviewed
Kingston upon Hull - B - informal Peer review comments on talk page
Leeds - B
North Yorkshire - Start
Ripon - B
Sheffield - FA
South Yorkshire - Start
Wakefield - Start
West Yorkshire - Start
William Wilberforce - GA - actively being worked on for FAC
York - B
Yorkshire - B
Yorkshire and the Humber - Start

The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.

Don't Forget...

Monitor
Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism can be removed as quickly as possible.

Images!
There is a shortage of good images in Yorkshire related articles, particularly on pages about smaller settlements. A good place to start would be the requested photographs category but please remember that there are many articles not within this category that have the same need.

Assessment
"Assess and review Assessment of Yorkshire related articles has been brought up to date recently, but needs constant maintenance.

Last but not Least...
Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is in permanent need of attention. Please take a look and see what you can do.

[edit] Ickwell‎

Thanks for promoting this from stub to start class, which seems right to me. As the main author, I couldn't very well say anything, but I wasn't impressed by the 'stub' assessment! Regards, Xn4 23:19, 1 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] DYK mentoring

First, it is called DYK not DYN. DYK means Did You Know. I know that "know" sounds like it starts with an "N", but it actually starts with a "K". The first thing that I want you to do is to review the rules for DYK. I'll give you a test on them after you get done. I created the user subpage User:Gaia Octavia Agrippa/DYK mentoring for us to work and communicate in. Please add it to your watchlist, and treat it like a talk page. I don't want your and my talk pages to become full of these communications. Royal broil 12:05, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Peer Review

Generally, when you ask for a peer review, you're expected to regularly watch it and to respond to the comments left. :) Please don't forget to read teh comments in the Ross Kemp in Afghanistan and respond, even if only to say thanks to reviewers for taking time to comment. To not respond at all is often seen as poor etiquette and can result in future PRs being ignored. Collectonian (talk) 17:11, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Classroom

Is there anything else that you need help with? I can continue your class if you need anything, or if I see that you need anything I will notify you. Cheers, ṜέđṃάяķvюĨїήīṣŢ ^{Drop me a line}§ 17:36, 4 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Orphaned non-free media (Image:Ross Kemp in Afgan.PNG)

Thanks for uploading Image:Ross Kemp in Afgan.PNG. The media description page currently specifies that it is non-free and may only be used on Wikipedia under a claim of fair use. However, it is currently orphaned, meaning that it is not used in any articles on Wikipedia. If the media was previously in an article, please go to the article and see why it was removed. You may add it back if you think that that will be useful. However, please note that media for which a replacement could be created are not acceptable for use on Wikipedia (see our policy for non-free media).

If you have uploaded other unlicensed media, please check whether they're used in any articles or not. You can find a list of 'image' pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that all non-free media not used in any articles will be deleted after seven days, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 12:48, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Editor Review Challenge

When you complete the challenge, give me the proof on my talk page rather than the award center page itself. Cheers! King iMatthew 20 08 19:50, 5 May 2008 (UTC)

Smile at others by adding {{subst:Smile}} to their talk page with a friendly message.

[edit] 1st Armored Division

Hi, I changed the {{references}} tag in 1st Armored Division (United States) to {{refimprove}} as there are some references already. It would help if you could indicate which sections you are most concerned about (via {{fact}} maybe. I'm more interested in the older history and could help there.

WP:YORKS is a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 3343 last month to 3509 on May 28th). WP:GM has the lead in FAs. WP:YORKS is lacking in the area of GAs and falls well behind WP:LONDON. This topic was at the front of the new aims discussion and is an important issue for WP:YORKS.

Retiono Virginian (talk · contribs) has been permanently blocked

and

Malcolm Bryant (talk · contribs) does not seem to have registered on Wikipedia.(Let me know if I am wrong.)

Last month the format of the member list was altered to:

allow easier editing for new members
assist members to communicate more easily (by including members talk pages)
allow members to keep up to date with each other's contributions

It had to be changed again before the May Newsletter went out to allow easier, more efficient, circulation by the ENewsBot. The Bot worked like magic last month but slightly complicated the signing up process, particularly for novice users.

Thanks

The Yorkshire Portal continues to be maintained by User:Kaly99 once again, thank you. There has been a number of suggestions on the ToDo list and this has been kept up to date too.

The Northallerton article has been greatly expanded by User:Yorkshiresky in the last month.

The football and rugby editors have to be congratulated for keeping abreast of most. if not all, of the top clubs.

User:Cyberdemon007 has made a lot of edits to North Yorkshire settlement infoboxes. Thank you.

There have been more WikiProkject Yorkshire editors on vandal patrol on watchlist , just lately. Thanks it's really good to know that you have others in support.

A big "thank you" to all the editors who help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed. If you patrol the recent changes regularly you "get to know" the editors and their specialities quite well.
