No members left the project this month. 

The number of 
[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/useractivity.py?page=Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/Members&days=365&action=table|active members]] is still currently low.


;Thanks

* A very big {{Thank you}} to all the editors who labour away quietly and help make this WikiProject what it is; no edit goes unnoticed.

* To members who have added suggestions to the ToDo list at [[Portal:Yorkshire|Yorkshire Portal]]. 

* To the football and rugby editors who have done stirling work in  keeping abreast of the top clubs. 

* To all the WikiProkject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/watchlist|watchlist]].

;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;Featured Lists

[[WP:FL|Featured Lists]] have been promoted during the last month and have now been given their own weekly slot on the [[WP:MAIN|main page]]. Lists appear on the front page on Mondays just above "Today's featured picture". This may be extended to other days at a later date if people like it. In line with this I have also added a box for lists on to the [[Portal:Yorkshire|Yorkshire Portal]] and created a couple of entries to start it off, more will be added later.

The project currently has 12 featured lists, out of 208 project articles identified as lists, and it would be good if we could get some of these on to the front page. Of anyone wants to take this up they need to create an entry for the list and nominate them to be considered [[Wikipedia:Today's featured list/submissions|here]].

Lists are easier than articles to get to featured status as there is less prose to be created and the bulk of the page is the list itself. Most of the project's current featured lists are on football related topics and it would be good to get a broader range of topics for out Featured Lists. Some of the 208 lists could be brought up to featured status with a little bit of work, if any one wants to take up the challenge.

== Blades players contracts ==

The issue with players contracts has been a bit of a mess this season.  When Wilson turned up they decided to give all the players a fresh start so never published a list of released players.  There was only really Kozluk and France out of contract anyway (although Thomas may have gone then based on the article you found).  They decided to give Kozluk an opportunity so retained his registration and apparently they're negotiating with France to try and get him to retire - there's some stupid clause that means we have to keep him on the staff as long as he's injured unless he retires - ludicrous though that is!!  The others are still there as far as I know - and will have numbers.  They'll probably come to light following cup games etc so I reckon they should stay in the squad until there's some sort of confirmation that they've left.[[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 12:03, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

:France will still be registered as a player - that's the bit they'll be trying to change by getting him to retire :o).  By my reckoning any notable player at the club should be listed in the squad unless there's any indication that some of them have left (I don't think any have although Gardos isn't very evident anywhere.  As for the number seven shirt - I was assuming they're saving that for Xavi when he comes. [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 15:24, 30 July 2011 (UTC)

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status

*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;Vandalism
With the start of the school holidays there is more chances of vandalism to articles at this time of year. It is time to remind members to be on the alert for vandalism to articles, especially those that are in the projects scope.
Here is a recent example of one that slipped through the net [http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Appleton-le-Street&diff=prev&oldid=435831123 this edit] which was reverted by an IP over a month after it was made! You can check the changes to the project's tagged pages using the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/WatchAll|watchlist]] or you can use the toolserver version which looks at just articles [http://toolserver.org/~tim1357/cgi-bin/wikiproject_watchlist.py?template=WikiProject+Yorkshire here]. The former may not be up to date, as it requires manual update of the list of articles, but does cover all namespaces.

== Parrino and France ==

I get the feeling Parrino is only on loan - the article doesn't really make it very clear but the comments are more in line with a loan rather than a full deal.  Unfortunately the rest of the media has simply repeated the same line.  I'll keep an eye out for some sort of confirmation.  Also - I'm starting to think we should probably call it quits and remove France from the playing squads as he's never going to feature again (hopefully).  I was hoping for some sort of confirmation by now and I think they may still be negotiating so my suggestion would be to remove him from the squads but not list him as transferring out on the season page just yet and try and look out for some confirmation of what's going on later in the season.  That sound reasonable (as the only other person seemingly interested in updating the Blades pages) [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 16:31, 18 August 2011 (UTC)
:Soccerbase has updated France to having left (pretty sure it wasn't listed as that last time I looked) so I'm going to add him in as such on the season.  He may well still be hanging around the club but I think we can assume his playing contract is over! [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 16:06, 23 August 2011 (UTC)

== Injuries ==

I think injury lists are a bit of overkills and are frowned upon by project:football (not that that worries me really, there's too many miserable buggers in that bunch trying to lay down the law.)  Never the less I think it's very difficult to quantify and isn't really that notable - maybe if someone gets a major injury that is well reported then it's worth putting it in the overview but otherwise it'll be way too difficult to keep up with and know who is out through injury and who isn't.  And as you say - with our current squad the list will be longer than the first team one - Flynn and McDonald already out injured possibly long term, Morgan, France, Ertle, Evans, Taylor, Aksalu all been out for months, Williamson probably due for his annual back surgery soon...

So my vote is to stay away from it! [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 22:12, 22 August 2011 (UTC)

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;Back to school

September and October are the months when many young people move from one school to a new school, or to university. It tends to be a time when freshers "look up" their new schools and colleges on Wikipedia and decide to edit for the first time. Many additions to school articles, in the past, have been unsourced, some poorly formatted and some in violation of other Wikipedia policies. More experienced editors can help here. It is easy to become frustrated, hit revert and issue a warning of some sort. How off-putting for a new editor. 

New editors do make innocent mistakes and it is up to us all to try to welcome and support them; perhaps by issuing a [[Wikipedia:Welcoming committee/Welcome templates|welcome message]], helping them to find sources or format references and citations. Obviously, not all will turn out to be paragons of Wikipedia virtue, but we can at least give them the opportunity. May be it is time for us all to re-read the essay [[Wikipedia:Please do not bite the newcomers|Please do not bite the newcomers]].

Please nominate future articles for improvement at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]].


; '''Please bear in mind...'''

[[File:Imbox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListing.php?project=Yorkshire '''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''<br />Use the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/WatchAll|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''<br />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.

*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;New software release

October sees the next release of the MediaWiki software (version 1.8) that runs the English Wikipedia. It will probably live by the time the newsletter arrives by the last few month's delivery dates! If you see any problems with the page display on any articles or problems with your favourite gadget or script then it may be a problem with the new release of software. It is worth checking out the [[WP:VPT|Village Pump - Technical]] board to see if there has been any report of a similar problem. If not then raise a new thread to get it recorded and to see if there are any of the technical people that can point you at a solution. Hopefully things will go smoother than previous releases but these things always throw up obscure problems that have not been foreseen.

If you are interested in the detail of the changes made in this release then take a look at the [http://svn.wikimedia.org/svnroot/mediawiki/branches/REL1_18/phase3/RELEASE-NOTES-1.18 full list].

== New League table on season article ==

I've added in a new version of the league table I spotted on some of the other team season pages - it should save having to update it manually each week as it's a centralised template.  That said I think we should move it as it seems a bit odd now as it's stuck in the middle of all the squad info.  How about shifting it above the squad list?  Or maybe below the squad details stuff?

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;Collaboration

Each month the project has a collaboration of the month when two articles are nominated to be worked on by members during the month. One of these is usually a B-class article and one a start-class article. Some of these have not really been worked on by members and I would encourage all members to get involved and see what can be achieved. An example of the success of this effort has been [[Whitby]] which was the B-class collaboration article in July and has just achieved [[WP:GA|Good Article]] status. This was achieved by just the efforts of three editors just think what would be achieved if all of the 91 members got involved in editing these articles. They may not be ones which are of particular interest to you but they relate to [[Yorkshire]] in some way so they raise the profile of the county and can often be related to articles you are interested in in some way or other. I have tried to rotate round the county with a variety of differing topics while steering clear of the ones designated as our priority articles. If you have an article that you think could be improved in one of these collaborations then just nominate it on the project talk page and I will fit it in at some point.

== Gardos ==

Found this here: http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/andras-gardos/transfers/spieler_149606.html

The site is a bit haphazard but it does seem to say that he's definitely back in Hungary as there are match stats and looking at the transfer details it seems to say that his spell in the UK was only a loan.  Apparently France has definitely retired through injury as he was interviewed in a Hull programme a couple of weeks ago but I've found nothing online to confirm this as yet apart from in forums so can't cite it.  It may just be me being anal but I do wish they'd sort out their communications at Bramall Lane and actually keep the website up to date with this sort of info - it may be only small fry but it's stuff like this that makes people think they're hiding things.  They can't even be bothered to publish the results of the 'Player of the Month' voting! [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 10:34, 22 November 2011 (UTC)

* Welcome to the forty fourth [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire|WikiProject Yorkshire]] monthly newsletter. 

* 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 9,354 last month to 9,459 on November 29th).

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;Happy Christmas

Happy Christmas to all the members of the project. Many thanks for all the hard work over the past year and hope that the good progress will be kept up in the new year. Many of the regular editors will be away over the break and vandalism tends to increase at this time of year, could be all those new computers that people get for Christmas. So if you are around then keep an eye out for vandalism to the project's articles and revert as soon as possible. All of the good work of the project can be destroyed quickly if vandalism is not spotted and dealt with.

== RoK: areas of control references disagreement ==

Actually nowhere in the citations is stated that RoK has control of most of Kosovo's territory. Neither it is claimed that institutions of R.of Serbia have control of the Northern Kosovo - it even supports the opposite of that. Status quo doesn't have much to do with this disagreement but accuracy. Status quo is IMO for politics - here we write encyclopedia. I don't think the wording should be rewritten, the way it is now it is somewhat povish so it might be even excluded. Why, because as I said the information about the situation on the field as probably the very situation itself have changed. Read the post on my talk page which is above your comment, you can find that another editor agrees with some of my opinions. --[[User:Biblbroks|biblbroks]][[User talk:Biblbroks|<span style="font-size:.7em"> (talk)</span>]] 07:35, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
:When looking at your citation Bogdanovic stated that RoS won't give up on institutions, not that institutions have control over anything. And what I wrote is povish not POV - the wording as it is now leads the reader to an opinion that RoK and RoS have some control, but I'd say if anyone is in control, UNMIK and EULEX are. --[[User:Biblbroks|biblbroks]][[User talk:Biblbroks|<span style="font-size:.7em"> (talk)</span>]] 10:19, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
::I am not denying, nor trying to deny anything. It is you who has an opinion and who is claiming something. Claims unsupported by sources. You are trying to put words in my mouth - words that would support your position. And that would be a position of me being a POV pusher. That constitutes as bending the truth... if not worse. Have you at all read the comment on my talk page - the one above yours? --[[User:Biblbroks|biblbroks]][[User talk:Biblbroks|<span style="font-size:.7em"> (talk)</span>]] 14:46, 22 December 2011 (UTC)
:::Sorry for this but I must say that now you are outright lying. I haven't stated anywhere that UNMIK and EULEX are in control of Kosovo. By saying that I have you are lying. Also, nowhere in the sources you provided is there a claim that RoK is controlling anything or that RoS is controlling anything. It is you who has to provide sources for claims that they do. Even if you accomplish that, they will be just claims not necessarily the truth. --[[User:Biblbroks|biblbroks]][[User talk:Biblbroks|<span style="font-size:.7em"> (talk)</span>]] 15:36, 22 December 2011 (UTC)

== Williams ==

He'll get number 30 again as FA rules say a player can't change numbers part way through a season. (Although I suppose a player could leave early on, a new player be allocated their number afterwards and then the first come back on loan and need a new number... though it's unlikely).  Should be confirmed today as I'm guessing he'll be on the bench.[[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 08:36, 2 January 2012 (UTC)

== Some othler artices to consider ==

Found this Man U one [[List of Manchester United F.C. players]] (and it's spin off ones) - would be a lot of research as the figures in these articles obviously include cup apps but they would be good additions.  The current squad would be a pain to keep updated but as long as there was a rigorous datestamping of updates it could be updated every few months. I'd be inclined to sort by total number of apps rather than date order - although whoever did those ones probably found it easier to keep up to date as the current squad would all be grouped together?

== Football squad player2 ==

I noticed you reverted this template on the [[Rangers F.C.]].  You'd better get going removing it from the MLS teams pages as well. Discuss here if you disagree: [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Football#Watford_current_squad]]

:My initial feeling was total dislike and although I'm still not sure about it the problem became more about technical aspects i.e. for older mobile devices or Screen readers for people who have sight issues. In that respect was why i proposed a trial for two reasons the main one being consensus and sorting out any problems with it. WFC began placing notices on article talk pages advising that they may be taking place in a trial.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Talk%3ARangers_F.C.&action=historysubmit&diff=471594508&oldid=465999305] This was to assertion any strong objections to a trial and then after that bring a wider audience who don't take part at [[WP:Footy]] to comment whether good or bad and then either implement or if the majority are against it halt further rollout. One thing thats a plus is it can be tweaked and gives opportunity for squad photos to be placed down the side.[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Heart_of_Midlothian_F.C.&action=historysubmit&diff=471881967&oldid=471758227].[[User:Edinburgh Wanderer|<span style="color:Maroon;">Edinburgh</span>]] [[User talk:Edinburgh Wanderer|<span style="color:green;">Wanderer</span>]] 17:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::I see you're falling foul of the WP:Football thought police :o)  Been there and got the t-shirt.  It's all a load of bull - the current table works fine on screen readers (could be improved but to say it doesn't work is untrue)  The new table is actually worse because of the lengthy repetition of each element and it's considerably worse for the average user as repetition of hundreds of identical links are bad for readability and usability.  As for mobile browsers - the current one works fine, not ideal but are we really going to change things so that it works on outdated technology?  Perhaps we should make sure it works on Netscape or IE6?  All irrelevant arguments.  It also leaves a whole swathe of blank space down the side - most clubs will not have enough images to fill it up to make it anything other than a waste of space, plus it's interesting that Heart's is being shown as an exemplar when at least two of those images aren't copyright free - are we encouraging more unlicensed images?  Also WP guidelines say that colour should not be used as decoration - surely colouring the squad list based on club kit goes against that?  But to top it off it looks really crap - like it was designed by a ten year old about fifteen years ago.  But good luck trying to get any of the holier than thou people involved in WP: Football to listen. [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 19:00, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
:::I've just re-read the whole discussion and some points are hilarious - the exemplar alt tags on the Watford article comments are mind boggling.  That really is not how to do alt tags!!  Its really great that's there's a hardcore of people who are on WP:Football all the time and as soon as anyone else comments or objects they resort to name calling and act like petulant school children.  It's that sort of attitude that has at times led me to consider giving up updating pages![[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 19:24, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::::True - but then part of me wants to take them on and blow holes in all all their ridiculous arguments.  A lot of what is being aid about this issue is plain wrong but being wrapped up in technical gabble by people in the hope it will bamboozle other users and so just allow them to get their own way.  If you do continue your discussions let me know and I may wade in to lend a hand.[[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 19:37, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::Ive notified all the championship clubs they should have been notified. I was only going to look at all the articles this week so it wouldn't have been implemented there once realised they were never notified. The best way to see who is for or against this is a trial it would show clearly what opinion is rather than the main project deciding.[[User:Edinburgh Wanderer|<span style="color:Maroon;">Edinburgh</span>]] [[User talk:Edinburgh Wanderer|<span style="color:green;">Wanderer</span>]] 19:57, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::::::In regards to screen readers just read your comment on Blades i tried it using the test version on wiki accessibility and it did have an issue. If you use one and don't have that problem then it would be helpfull to mention it. That was something i got shot down on every time as i don't have access to one.

== information ==

I saw you post on LAz17's userpage. There has been more discussion, though that has been moved from his page to here, [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Wgfinley#Note_regarding_activities_on_srWiki] ([[User:Mike085|Mike085]] ([[User talk:Mike085|talk]]) 19:24, 22 January 2012 (UTC)).

== International games ==

Was going to mention that - I'm wondering if we ought to maybe put a cut off point for the level of call up?  It's just that the club will rarely give details of what's been going on below U21 level so keeping it accurate might be very difficult unless you're volunteering to trail the various FA websites looking for our youth players?

Also - made a big start on the List of Sheffield United players page - am about half way through! [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 19:30, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

:Umm other clubs mention them and because we're hardly going to see any international caps this season I see no harm in it. Yeh I'll give you a hand with that later, I'll look into it properly tomorrow. I was even thinking about editing some images especially for it such as the licence free images because they're so old and some more recent ones which we have permission to use. So obviously Morgs and Monty would get a pic there due to the amount of caps and captaincy. Then include legends like [[William Foulke (footballer)|William "Fatty" Foulke]] and co, try get pics of Brian Deane and Joe Shaw etc. [[User:IJA|IJA]] ([[User talk:IJA#top|talk]]) 19:39, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::No worries on the list - I'll finish it some point this week probably - I'm just going through the Who's Who and adding them in letter by letter - it's easy enough as I just cut and paste the rows and use the same ref (updated obviously) for each. [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 19:44, 24 January 2012 (UTC)

:::We have images for Monty and Quinn to add and Crssy should be near 100 by now. When it says 100 appearances, is that all comps? [[User:IJA|IJA]] ([[User talk:IJA#top|talk]]) 19:46, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
::::It's all comps excluding friendlies and WW1 and WW2 games - the whos who guide I have is the only place that the full stats appear I know of so I'm going through that then was going to add in the more recent players (it only goes up to 2008).  I'm thinking that keeping them in alpha order is the best best![[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 20:18, 24 January 2012 (UTC)
:::::£45?  I'm sure it was only a tenner in the club shop last time I was there.  no worries - I'm happy to keep chugging through them - just wanted to make you aware what I was doing really. Agree about cutting down some of the images - will make them more manageable.  Once I've finished the list I'll expand some of the other info and redo the intro (in line with the Man U version which got used as a featured list).  Once that's done I think we can move some of the images into other areas of the article just to give a bit of variety.[[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 13:17, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

== Dodds pic ==

Not sure we can use that image - there's a note on the image page saying it should only be used on a couple of Blackpool articles.  I've commented it out for the time being.  You could post a note on the image's talk page asking if it could be used and see what the original owner says?[[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 13:21, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

== Squad lists ==

You may be pleased to know I couldn't resist it any longer and waded into the squad list debate.  I'm expecting mobs of people outside my door with flaming torches and pitchforks any moment now. [[User:Bladeboy1889|Bladeboy1889]] ([[User talk:Bladeboy1889|talk]]) 16:19, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

== Re: Jock Dodds photo ==

I'm not too sure of the ins and outs of the image copyrights around Wikipedia at the moment, to be honest. It always did change with the wind, and it's been so long since I've looked at it that I could be well off if I suggest something. You could always just add it to your article and see if anyone has any input afterwards. - <span style="font-family: Tahoma, sans-serif;text-shadow:grey 0.4em 0.4em 0.4em">[[User:Dudesleeper|<span style="color: orange;">Dudesleeper</span>]]&nbsp;[[User talk:Dudesleeper|<small><i>talk</i></small>]]</span> 23:31, 26 January 2012 (UTC)

Hi. When you recently edited [[North–South divide (England)]], you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page [[Morrison]] ([[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dablinks.py/North%E2%80%93South_divide_%28England%29|check to confirm]]&nbsp;|&nbsp;[[tools:~dispenser/cgi-bin/dab_solver.py/North%E2%80%93South_divide_%28England%29|fix with Dab solver]]).

A much neglected group - but might be worth resurrecting as it's a reasonable place to discuss updates to various pages and would be a good place to list articles that need some work (the list of players threw up loads that could do with looking at.)

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;New software release

We are getting near to the next release of the [[MediaWiki]] software that runs Wikipedia, this will be version 1.19 and is expected in the second half of February. For those of you who are interested in the details of the changes then take a look at this [[:mw:MediaWiki_1.19|page on MediaWiki.org]]. There is usually some disruption around the time of the release so if you experience problems then check out at the [[WP:VPT|Village Pump]] to see if the problem has been reported. If it has not then report it so that the developers can get a view of the problem. One area of concern is the scripts used by users to perform routine tasks. It could be that if this change is included in the deployment then scripts may need to be changed to declare modules the script is dependent upon. So if your favourite script fails to work this could be the problem and will need to be fixed.

; '''Please bear in mind...'''

[[File:Imbox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListing.php?project=Yorkshire '''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''<br />Use the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/WatchAll|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''<br />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.

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;New software release
By the time you read this the new software release mentioned in the last newsletter should be in as it is currently scheduled for 2 March. Problems in switching other wikis have been encountered, most notably Commons, which was reverted twice and, at the time of writing, is still experiencing problems with the new software. See article in [[Wikipedia:Wikipedia Signpost/2012-02-27/Technology report|Signpost]] for details.


;Discussions
Members may be interested in some discussions that are ongoing at the moment. A [[Wikipedia:Village_pump_(policy)#Secondary_schools_should_meet_WP:GNG_or_are_they_exempt.3F|discussion]] on whether or not secondary schools meet [[Wikipedia:Notability#General notability guideline|notability guidelines]] is still on-going. If you are interested in having articles on secondary schools then raise your voice in the discussion. Another schools related one is taking place on the talk page of template {{tl|Infobox UK school}} about introducing co-ordinates in to the infobox in addition to the top right corner of the article. Similar discussion was also raised at {{tl|Infobox UK place}}. If you have views then chip in and see if consensus can be found on these areas.

; '''Please bear in mind...'''

[[File:Imbox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [http://toolserver.org/~svick/CleanupListing/CleanupListing.php?project=Yorkshire '''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''<br />Use the [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/WatchAll|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''<br />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.

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;Link rot
This month I thought that we should focus on link rot in articles. Articles are created with lots of references to online sources as this is often easier than using printed sources. This is all well and good until a few months down the line when the web site is no longer available or has been re-organised and the page linked to has been moved. Whatever the reason for the change results in the reference link in our article becoming dead or just pointing at the main page of the site in question. The link therefore provides no verification for the information in our article and needs to be repaired. If you find a link like this then it should be tagged with the {{tl|dead link}} template rather than deleted as the information may give someone a clue as to where to find a replacement link. If you know where the page has been moved to then go ahead and change the URL in the reference rather than tagging it. You could Google to see if a new page can be located or use the [[Wayback machine]] to see if there is an archived copy of the page available. If an archived version is located then use the {{para|archiveurl}} and {{para|archivedate}} fields of the {{tl|citation}} template to record the archived version of the page. 

The more information that is recorded when the reference is added the easier it is to find replacement URLs so remember to record as much information as possible when adding a reference. A bare URL with no information as to page title, publisher, publication date etc. makes finding replacements almost impossible. You can add archive details when adding a reference so that there is a backup copy already recorded for the reference. A BOT is currently operating to add archive details to live links to prevent future link rot. For more information on the subject of link rot see [[WP:LINKROT|here]].

It would be good, if this month, we try to reduce the number of {{tl|dead link}} templates in the project's articles as a BOT is currently going round adding the template to articles.

; Aims

After discussion at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire]] in April 2008.

'''Specific aims''' for the project are:-

*To complete tagging and assessment of all Yorkshire related articles (See below)
*To recruit more active editors (See Member News)
*To bring our top level article [[Yorkshire]] up to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured article]] status
*To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least [[Wikipedia:Good articles|Good article]] status
*To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (See this month's feature below)
*To produce a regular news letter for circulation to members

and apropos of the above a '''2010 New Year''' article improvement drive/collaboration is being organised.


;'''Priority Articles'''

The '''top priority articles''' that have been identified to date are as follows -

* [[Bradford]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[North Yorkshire]] • [[Ripon]] • [[Sheffield]] • [[South Yorkshire]] • [[Wakefield]] • [[West Yorkshire]] • [[William Wilberforce]] • [[York]] • [[Yorkshire]] • [[Yorkshire and the Humber]] 

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.


;Elections
May is the month for local elections to take place in many of our town and cities. This will create a lot of work in updating all of the place articles that include council make-up details. In addition each of the elections will require a new article creating to cover details of the election and the results in each of the wards. A number of elections from the last round of elections have not yet been created and it would be good if the missing election articles could be created so that we have a full set of recent elections for Yorkshire.

At the same time as the local council elections a number of cities in the area are holding a [[English mayoral referendums, 2012|referendum on elected mayors]]. The main article will need to be updated with the results from each of the cities involved and any background that may be relevant to that article. Individual articles covering the referendum in each of the cities involved would also be useful to create while the details and references are to hand in the local press.

;Commons links

This month I thought that I would mention the {{tl|Commons category}} template to generate a link to image categories on [[WP:Commons|Commons]] holding additional images for topics. The template should be added to articles where Commons holds a number of other images that are not displayed in the article to provide a convenient link to these additional images. If you do not want to display the box then {{tl|Commons category inline}} can be used instead to add an entry to the External links section.

The problem with both these templates is they use the article name as the name for the category on Commons so if an article is renamed the link is broken. To overcome this please ensure that all usages of these templates have as the first parameter the name of the category on Commons that is being used, even if it is the same as the article title. To enable those usages that have not been given a parameter to be tracked the hidden category [[:Category:Commons category template with no category set]] has been set up. This has initially only been applied to the {{tl|Commons category}} template. It would be good if members fixed these while editing articles to avoid having to edit specifically to fix the problem.

For newer members you can see hidden categories by setting the "Show hidden categories" option in the "Advanced options" section of the "Appearance" tab of the "my preferences" link.
