{{Great}} ;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. {{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Yorkshire articles by quality statistics}}

; 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 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.
;WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
Every month, two articles will be selected for the project to improve, one B-class and one Start-class. The January 2010 articles are an arbitrary choice of the newsletter editors but members will be asked to nominate future articles for improvement.
If you would like to discuss changes to Priorities, please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire

; Please bear in mind...
Image:Imbox style.pngThe 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. The latest listing was created on December 11th.
- 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.
