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 12,534 last month to 12,568 on 27 April). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 125 is ahead of WP:GM who have 86. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 62 out of a total number of 3,603 articles.
Currently we have forty 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.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The May 2016 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.
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.

Thanks for the reassessment- would you like to elaborate what you wish to see improved.
The criteria say: that a Start class article is: The article has a usable amount of good content but is weak in many areas. Quality of the prose may be distinctly unencyclopedic, and MoS compliance non-existent. The article should satisfy fundamental content policies, such as BLP. Frequently, the referencing is inadequate, although enough sources are usually provided to establish verifiability. No Start-Class article should be in any danger of being speedily deleted.
Which areas do you find to be weak- where does it break MoS compliance. Which part of the referencing is inadequate?
I have checked again the B1-B6 criteria, and put a tick against each one. Sometimes we have aspiration for aspects of quality that are not actually mandated. I don't view this primarity as a county article but an architectural one so I may be overlooking something absolutely basic. --ClemRutter (talk) 22:26, 8 May 2016 (UTC)
Hi, I was toying with giving it a C-class but thought that may be some of the formatting on the article need to be looked at. In the references the use of italics for newspaper titles, such as the Guardian. Needs some dashes replacing by en-dashes, for example in the Background section. There are a few problems with strange breaking after numbers that could do with some non-breaking spaces to keep things together. A bare URL for ref 18. There also appears to be some dated information in "Listing and renovation" where it notes "...social housing is now underway" but the references are from 2009. Could do with some update or something to indicate it is still current, may be an as of 2016. Nothing major there, a few more references mainly at the end of the Arts section would get this up to a B-class. Keith D (talk) 09:42, 9 May 2016 (UTC)
