[edit] Portal

As some may have noticed, I have created a portal for the Yorkshire project. I have the basic shell up, so if anyone wants to lend a hand, feel free. Cheers! Fl1942 14:09, 10 August 2007 (UTC)

[edit] New People

Ok, a number of people have now joined this, does anyone know how we want to go about this? I was thinking we could maybe work on Bradford and let it go from there? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 21:49, 9 October 2007 (UTC)

Is this a child of WikiProject Yorkshire? Simply south 13:18, 22 October 2007 (UTC)
Does it matter? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 14:39, 22 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Starting Work

Okay, I'm going to start sprucing up the articles on Bradford Uni. Any help would be appreciated. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 10:56, 31 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Photographs

Got a digital camera? We need photos of almost everything! Many of the photos we have are copyvios - and commons always needs any excess anyway. It might be worth making a hit list of things we need. Secretlondon (talk) 16:30, 27 November 2007 (UTC)

Alas, I lost mine in Revolution on Halloween, so I cannot oblige. If anyone does have a camera and happens to be able to take photos of uni campus buildings, can you drop me a line? Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 13:16, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
I will try at some point when a) I get chance, b) am back in Bradford and c) most importanly actually remember my camera. I chanced upon the Manchester FAC and if you take a look at the Manchester article there's some cracking photos on there.
Anyone have a list of particularly important pictures? E.g. Media Museum, City Hall, Salts Mill, panoramic views of Bradford (which should be easy), Wool Exchange, Valley Parade, Odsal. Peanut4 (talk) 23:38, 28 November 2007 (UTC)
We should make a list of photos needed. User:Kaly99 has just uploaded Image:Bradford Interchange.jpg, Image:St George's Hall, Bradford.jpg and Image:Bradford_Alhambra.jpg. Yay! Anyone in Bradford for Xmas with a camera? Secretlondon (talk) 23:27, 23 December 2007 (UTC)
I have to say xmas in Bradford ain't the prettiest. As much as we need pictures, a bit of sunny delight will do Bradford prouder than the dank days we got at the moment. Particularly the Image:Bradford Interchange.jpg is looking decidely wintry and unwelcoming Peanut4 (talk) 00:54, 24 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Talk page templates

Your project appears to have two different talk page templates, Template:BradProject and Template:WikiProject Bradford. Which one should be used? I would recommend using only one. --Jameboy (talk) 01:24, 5 December 2007 (UTC)#

The second one appears to have been created by someone who did not realise the first existed. We should probably keep the one that is transcluded onto most pages. Dev920 (Have a nice day!) 00:50, 6 December 2007 (UTC)
2nd one has some nice bits that could be merged in then redirect to the 1st one as WikiProject Bradford is a more standard name. --Nate1481( t/c) 10:36, 6 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Hello, and settlement guidelines

Hello WikiProject Bradford participants!

It's a pleasure to greet a new WikiProject I wasn't aware of! Just a note really that I've just applied some changes to Bradford per the WP:UKCITIES guidelines. It would be a great benefit if this project could adopt this guideline (extensively developed in partnership with WP:UKGEO and WP:CITIES) which serves to ensure a basic standard layout and content is used for articles about British settlements. Most of (well, all as far as I know) the local British Wikiprojects have already adopted this.

I hope this is well recieved! And best of luck with the project, -- Jza84 · (talk) 00:11, 30 December 2007 (UTC)

[edit] West Yorkshire cities issues

Hello again,

I've raised an issue at Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Yorkshire#West_Yorkshire_cities_issues which concerns Bradford. I would be good if users could have a browse of it and make input where they feel necessary. Thanks, -- Jza84 · (talk) 16:10, 16 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Valley Parade

I've put Valley Parade up for peer review with hopefully putting it up for FAC. I've had a couple of good comments, but if anyone else has anything to pitch in with, it's at Wikipedia:Peer review/Valley Parade/archive1 and all comments would be gratefully received. Peanut4 (talk) 21:32, 6 April 2008 (UTC)

I've archived the PR, and now put it forward to FAC, if anyone else wants to comment. Peanut4 (talk) 23:03, 9 April 2008 (UTC)
