[edit] Thank you for Joining the Maltese WikiProject
Dear Teh Ferret,
I would like to thank you for joining WikiProject Malta, a collaborative effort that aims to improve, write, expand and organise material related to the island nation of Malta. We currently need as many members as we can get, and you are a valued addition to the list of members. Please see our To-Do list if you would like to further contribute to the project, or help construct our project page.
Thank you,
The WikiProject Malta Team
Dear member of WikiProject Malta, I'd like to invite you to participate in an ongoing Article for Deletion debate about St John's Square in the capital of Malta. We'd like your input about whether the article should stay and go (and if you want to expand the stub, that would be great too!) All the best, Eliz81(talk)(contribs) 21:22, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
[edit] WikiProject Europe Proposal
Hi, I see you're a member of the European Microstates project. I was wondering if you would be interested in participating in a new "WikiProject:Europe"? It would cover non-EU pan European elements and more national elements where there isn't a project to cover it (e.g. there is no project for Slovenia). Microstates might also want to become a taskforce of the project to keep down overheads etc as there are just a few members. I am just trying to get an idea of numbers before I propose it but if you have comments on the idea please see the Discussion on WPEU. Thanks for your time! - J Logan t: 08:43, 18 August 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:WikiProject Belarus
Wikipedia:WikiProject Belarus has been created, you had expressed an interest! Chris 17:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Pocket pets work group
You had earlier expressed an interest in joining a project woking with articles relating to rabbits, mice, etc. That project is now active at Wikipedia:WikiProject Mammals/Pocket pets work group. John Carter 16:20, 8 November 2007 (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
- Currently there are nine Yorkshire featured articles:
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:
List of York City F.C. Clubmen of the Year • List of York City F.C. managers • List of York City F.C. players • York City F.C. seasons • Bradford City A.F.C. seasons • List of York City F.C. statistics and records • Leeds United A.F.C. seasons

- WP:YORKS is a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (3343 on April 27th). WP:GM has the lead in FAs. 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.
- As mentioned above, new aims have been decided. See the right hand column for more details.
- Member News
There are now 45 members of WikiProject Yorkshire! A warm welcome to the 2 new members that have joined us since March:
No users left the WikiProject this month, but the list may need trimming 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.
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
- Thanks
- A big "thank you" to all the editors who help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

- 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.

- Member News
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.

"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.
