[edit] Robin Hood
Hi Yorkshirian, how about disussing the Robin Hood introduction on the talk page? You'll be glad to know I have read the references you cite, you might like to re-read them yourself! Regards, Jeremy (talk) 04:41, 4 June 2008 (UTC)
[edit] you say "vandalism," consensus says "good faith"
Hey Yorkshirian, if you keep calling good faith edits vandalism you will sooner or later get blocked. This is still some ways from happening but you can't keep doing this without stirring up all kinds of woe. This is a description of what's called vandalism on Wikipedia. Edits you don't agree with, edits you think are stupid or clumsy, unsourced or boneheaded, are not vandalism, even if they seem so amazingly dumb to you that so far as you care, they are vandalism. Nobody is asking you to change your way of thinking, only your way of editing. You can think of all Wikipedia as one big docking act of vandalism but please, don't describe good faith edits as vandalism in edit summaries or on talk pages. Keep it to yourself, you'll get a lot more done here. All the best to you! :) Gwen Gale (talk) 09:55, 4 June 2008 (UTC)

- Project News
Priorities are still being discussed; please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire
- Currently there are ten 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 • Caedmon
- 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
Thank you and well done to all those who contributed.
- Lealholm was nominated for GA Status on May 1st and has just received the review comments
- WP:YORKS is a leading local British WikiProject in terms of the total number of articles supported (up from 3343 last month to 3509 on May 28th). 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 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.

- 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. 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.
