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 11,786 last month to 11,807 on March 29th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 113 is ahead of WP:GM who have 84. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 57 out of a total number of 3,480 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.

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.

Invitation
Latest comment: 9 years ago1 comment1 person in discussion
I'd like to invite you to join the WikiProject R&B and Soul Music. We are currently on demand for new members, the project was dying, but with your help we can revive it and make it one of the best WikiProjects. Make me sure that you'll think about this and remember cooperative works can do amazing things. Regards Dfrr (talk) 21:58, 13 April 2015 (UTC)

Elections
With the general election and local elections taking place on 7 May there will be a large number of articles that will need to be updated with the election results when they are declared. Also there will be new articles needed for the election results and for newly elected MPs who we have no articles for. Would be good if these new articles could be tagged with the project banner if they are relevant to the area so that they can be tracked. Please keep an eye on the articles of any candidates so that they remain neutral and are not vandalised, as they will be popular pages at the moment.
