Assessment
Assess and review
As of 27 February 2021, we have assessed 100% of all articles with a project banner.
(Some new and additional article talk pages may still require a banner however)


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 -

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.



WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The March 2021 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page.

Month Dates Article(s)
B class choice Start class choice
130 1 Oct 2020 ~ 31 Oct 2020 Nidd Valley Light Railway PD Ports

135 1 Mar 2021 ~ 31 Mar 2021 Dave Ulliott Unilever Leeds

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.

Consensus against using caps as a determinator of notability

In a number of recent AfD's you have argued "Keep - He has an international cap therefore he is undoubtedly notable" or similar. These arguments were rejected in WP:NSPORT2022, and continuing to argue them is disruptive and can result in WP:LOCALCON issues. Please stop doing so; if you believe that international caps are sufficient for notability I encourage you to open an RfC proposing that this criteria is restored to WP:NSPORT.
