New sanction on [[User:Bwoodcock]]
At Special:Diff/1287353950, you did not specify the scope of the editing restriction on the unblock conditions of {{user|Bwoodcock}}. I have attempted to do it from reading the linked diff; is my parsing of it correct? –LaundryPizza03 (dc̄) 01:12, 26 April 2025 (UTC)

WikiProject Yorkshire Newsletter - May 2025
|}
| style="vertical-align:top; border:2px #007fff solid; padding:1em; width:45%; background:#ccf;"|
; Aims
After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire in April 2008.
Specific aims for the project are:-
- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See Assessment)
- 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
- To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members
;Priority Articles
The top priority articles that have been identified to date are as follows -
- Bradford • Doncaster • East Riding of Yorkshire • Henry Moore • Kingston upon Hull • Leeds • Northern England • North Yorkshire • Ripon • Sheffield • South Yorkshire • Wakefield • West Yorkshire • William Wilberforce • York • Yorkshire • Yorkshire and the Humber
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.

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.
; Please bear in mind...
File:Imbox style.pngThe project is subscribed to a [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html 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.
;Thanks
- A very big {{Thank you}} to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.
- To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at Yorkshire Portal.
- To the football and rugby editors who have done sterling work in keeping abreast of the top clubs.
- To all the WikiProject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at watchlist.

- Following an RfC, administrator elections were permanently authorized on a five-month schedule. The next election will be scheduled soon; see Wikipedia talk:Administrator elections for more information. This is an alternate process to the RfA process and does not replace the latter.
- An RfC was closed with consensus to allow editors to opt-out of seeing "sticky decorative elements". Such elements should now be wrapped in {{t|sticky decoration wrapper}}. Editors who wish to opt out can follow the instructions at WP:STICKYDECO.
- An RfC has resulted in a broad prohibition on the use of AI-generated images in articles. A few common-sense exceptions are recognized.
File:Info Simple bw.svg Miscellaneous
- A New Pages Patrol backlog drive is happening in May 2025 to reduce the backlog of articles in the new pages feed. Sign up here to participate!
