[edit] Yorkshire villages; geograph images
I just discovered some of the excellent work you've been doing on Yorkshire villages and thought I'd just leave a short note of appreciation. I've done a bit on some Yorkshire villages, and we seem to have visited some of the same pages. I've been dropping in photos from geograph and I noticed you've done the same.
Did you know that if you upload to commons, you can simply use the geograph template - for example, the photo I just put on your Newbiggin-on-Lune page ([1]) was uploaded with the licence {{geograph|224686|Alexander P Kapp}} - the template then turns this into:
This image was taken from the Geograph project collection. See this photograph's page on the Geograph website for the photographer's contact details. The copyright on this image is owned by Alexander P Kapp and is licensed for reuse under the Creative Commons Attribution-ShareAlike 2.0 license.
I typed in quite a few in full before discovering this timesaving tip!
Keep up the good work :)

[edit] Stockton borough maps
Hello,
You made a request for the local county map to be displayed for the boroughs on the Durham/N.Yorks boundary with unitary status. I can assure you this is being looked into; a small number of users are planning to develop some new code for the UK place infobox to ensure it automates properly. It just takes some time to impliment. I hope that helps!
On another note, please don't forget to sign your comments or leave a edit summary to compliment your contributions. Have a great New Year, -- Jza84 · (talk) 02:25, 31 December 2007 (UTC)
Ok thanks, thats cleared up that problem.And a Happy New Year to you too.Cyberdemon007 (talk) 09:56, 31 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] AfD nomination of Teesside Park
An editor has nominated Teesside Park, an article on which you have worked or that you created, for deletion. We appreciate your contributions, but the nominator doesn't believe that the article satisfies Wikipedia's criteria for inclusion and has explained why in his/her nomination (see also "What Wikipedia is not").
Your opinions on whether the article meets inclusion criteria and what should be done with the article are welcome; please participate in the discussion by adding your comments at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Teesside Park and please be sure to sign your comments with four tildes (~~~~).
You may also edit the article during the discussion to improve it but should not remove the articles for deletion template from the top of the article; such removal will not end the deletion debate. Thank you. BJBot (talk) 17:00, 12 March 2008 (UTC)

- Project News
- One of the new aims of the project was to produce a monthly newsletter to be circulated to members. This is it!
Priorities are still being discussed; please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire

Sheffield • History of Sheffield • Sheffield Wednesday F.C. • York City F.C. • M62 motorway • Henry Moore • George Calvert, 1st Baron Baltimore • Stocksbridge Park Steels F.C. • Valley Parade
- There are also seven featured lists:

WP:YORKS is lacking in the area of GAs and falls well behind WP:LONDON. This topic was at the front of the new aims discussion and is an important issue for WP:YORKS.

- Member News
There are now 45 members of WikiProject Yorkshire! A warm welcome to the 2 new members that have joined us since March:

The format of the member list has been altered to:
- allow easier editing for new members
- assist members to communicate more easily (by including members talk pages)
- allow member to keep up to date with each other's contributions

- New Aims
After discussion at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire.
Specific aims for the project are:-
- To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles
- To recruit more active editors
- 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
The top priority articles that have been identified to date and their current ratings are as follows -
The number has been kept deliberately low to give us a fighting chance of improving them to GA status, also so we can concentrate our efforts on these first.
- Don't Forget...
- Monitor
Use the watchlist to keep an eye on changes to the project's articles so that vandalism can be removed as quickly as possible.
- Images!
There is a shortage of good images in Yorkshire related articles, particularly on pages about smaller settlements. A good place to start would be the requested photographs category but please remember that there are many articles not within this category that have the same need.
- Assessment
"Assess and review Assessment of Yorkshire related articles has been brought up to date recently, but needs constant maintenance.
- Last but not Least...
Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is in permanent need of attention. Please take a look and see what you can do.

There are now 45 members of WikiProject Yorkshire! A warm welcome to the 4 new members that have joined us since the May newsletter:
No users left the WikiProject this month, but the list has been trimmed to account for the one user who was permanently blocked and one who seems not to exist. There are also several who have not contributed to Wikipedia for some months. However it is the exam season :-)
Retiono Virginian (talk · contribs) has been permanently blocked
and
Malcolm Bryant (talk · contribs) does not seem to have registered on Wikipedia.(Let me know if I am wrong.)
Last month the format of the member list was altered to:
- allow easier editing for new members
- assist members to communicate more easily (by including members talk pages)
- allow members to keep up to date with each other's contributions
It had to be changed again before the May Newsletter went out to allow easier, more efficient, circulation by the ENewsBot. The Bot worked like magic last month but slightly complicated the signing up process, particularly for novice users.
- Thanks
- The Yorkshire Portal continues to be maintained by User:Kaly99 once again, thank you. There has been a number of suggestions on the ToDo list and this has been kept up to date too.
- The football and rugby editors have to be congratulated for keeping abreast of most. if not all, of the top clubs.
- User:Cyberdemon007 has made a lot of edits to North Yorkshire settlement infoboxes. Thank you.
- There have been more WikiProkject Yorkshire editors on vandal patrol on watchlist , just lately. Thanks it's really good to know that you have others in support.
- A big "thank you" to all the editors who help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed. If you patrol the recent changes regularly you "get to know" the editors and their specialities quite well.

There is a shortage of good images in Yorkshire related articles, particularly on pages about smaller settlements. A good place to start would be the requested photographs category but please remember that there are many articles not within this category that have the same need. A good old holiday picture of The Spa, Bridlington would be a useful addition to the article.
- Assessment
"Assess and review Assessment of Yorkshire related articles has been brought up to date recently, but needs constant maintenance.
- Last but not Least...
Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is in permanent need of attention. Please take a look and see what you can do. One small edit each session would make a big difference.
