* 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 WikiProject Yorkshire editors who have been busy on vandal patrol at [[Special:RecentChangesLinked/Wikipedia:WikiProject Yorkshire/Watch All|watchlist]].

; 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]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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 New Year'''

A very Happy New Year to all project members.

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 [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

''You are receiving this message because you are [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics/2021-22 review/Update list |subscribed to updates]] on the Arbitration Committee's [[WP:CT2022|contentious topics procedure revision process]].''

In December, the Arbitration Committee [[WP:CT2022|adopted]] the [[WP:CTOP|contentious topics procedure]], which replaces the [[WP:OLDDS|former discretionary sanctions system]]. The contentious topics procedure is now in effect following an initial [[WP:CT2022/I|implementation period]]. 
* For a detailed summary of the changes from the discretionary sanctions system, see [[WP:DSVSCT]].
* A brief guide for administrators may be found at [[Wikipedia:Contentious topics/Administrator instructions]].
* Updated templates may be found at [[Template:Contentious topics]]. 
* Suggestions and concerns may be directed to the arbitration clerk team at [[WT:AC/C]].
The drafting arbitrators warmly thank all those who have worked to implement the new procedure during this implementation period and beyond.

; 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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.

;North Yorkshire
A note that there will be a major change coming up for [[North Yorkshire]] with the reorganisation of the local government of the area. This will see the abolition of the districts and North Yorkshire becoming a unitary authority taking on all of the responsibilities of the district councils. This will require a change to most articles relating to the area. If you have any thoughts on what needs doing then make them known at [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire#North Yorkshire|the project talk page]].

== [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland|World War II and the history of Jews in Poland]]: Arbitration case opened ==

Hello {{u|Joe Roe}},

You recently offered a statement in a request for arbitration. The Arbitration Committee has accepted that request for arbitration and an arbitration case has been opened at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland]]. Evidence that you wish the arbitrators to consider should be added to the evidence subpage, at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence]]. '''Please add your evidence by April 04, 2023, which is when the first evidence phase closes.''' Submitted evidence will be summarized by Arbitrators and Clerks at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/Evidence/Summary]]. Owing to the summary style, editors are encouraged to submit evidence in small chunks sooner rather than more complete evidence later.

Details about the summary page, the two phases of evidence, a timeline and other answers to frequently asked questions can be found at [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Requests/Case/World War II and the history of Jews in Poland/FAQ|'''the case's FAQ page''']].

For a guide to the arbitration process, see [[Wikipedia:Arbitration/Guide to arbitration]].

== About that paragraph... ==

Hello, I see what you're suggesting about the paragraphs being short, but I feel I should point out it wasn't just length I was editing for.  The paragraph begins discussing flora/fauna and ends discussing water. I split the paragraph because there are two topics in one paragraph. [[User:Creedweber|Creedweber]] ([[User talk:Creedweber|talk]]) 02:29, 22 March 2023 (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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.

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

[[File:Imbox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

== It's me again ==

Hello Joe, I have a question about stub articles. I'm directing this question to you because you have expanded many stub articles and all of your work it excellent. my question is how do you decide on what ways to expand a stub article? Do you have a template you work from or a basic outline? Or does the article itself dictate the direction the expansion takes? [[User:Creedweber|Creedweber]] ([[User talk:Creedweber|talk]]) 03:13, 8 April 2023 (UTC)

:Hi Creedweber. Thank you. I think that very much depends on the topic. One type of article I work on a lot are biographies of academics, which have a fairly standard outline (see e.g. [[Jocelyn Orchard]], [[Olena Tsvek]], [[Tony Waldron]]). With other things you have to come up with the structure yourself based on the available sources. If you're trying to get started with writing articles, it's probably easier to stick to the more formulaic topics: biographies of people in certain occupations (e.g. academics, politicans, sportspeople), places, books and films, species, etc. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 06:24, 9 April 2023 (UTC)

Hi Joe! I understand your point [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Template%3APaleolithic&curid=17020779&diff=1150796980&oldid=1150786894&diffmode=source] (logically), but I keep encountering articles where the article layout is completely destroyed by people poorly using the "expanded" option (see [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Aterian&oldid=1146070845]). Should we not just prevent such abuse by removing the option? The Template can be manually expanded on demand anyway, so all the information remain there, for anyone to see if interested...

:Hi {{u|पाटलिपुत्र}}. The point is that whether defaulting to expanded is a bad idea (or 'abuse' even) is very much subjective. I remember that we also disagreed with this on [[Template:Prehistoric Southwest Asia timeline]], for example. I think that as a general rule, when good faith editors can disagree on which option is best, we should leave the decision to those involved in writing individual articles, rather than impose one option with a technical restriction. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 07:24, 20 April 2023 (UTC)

::In principle, yes. But just because an option is possible does not necessarily mean that's it's good to have the option. Imagine if I used an "expanded" option in my [[:Template:Rulers of the Ancient Near East|Template:Rulers of the Ancient Near East]]: using this option would be wrong every single time. I compacted "[[:Template:History of China|Template:History of China]]" some time ago, and it is better this way, despite some enthusiasts who invariably like to display the dazzling quantity of Chinese dynasties... I can hardly imagine a single "Paleolithic article" where there is so much text and so much space available, and so little illustration available, that a 51-lines expanded  "Upper Paleolithic" template (yes, 51 lines... [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Aterian&oldid=1146070845]) might be legitimate in terms of article layout. Better to leave such huge templates compacted, without any automatic option to leave them expanded: they still remain there with all the information, and can be manually expanded at will. No big issue, but it's annoying to keep encountering this layout mayhem, when we could simply remove the option and ensure normal, common-sense, usage... Ontologically, I don't quite see either why we should be imposed a full list of all Upper Paeleolithic cultures everytime we simply look up for a single one... apart for the die-hard Upper Paleolithic enthusiasts maybe {{p}}... <span style="text-shadow:grey 0.2em 0.2em 0.1em; class=texhtml">[[User:पाटलिपुत्र|<span style="color:green">पाटलिपुत्र</span>]][[User:पाटलिपुत्र|<span style="color:blue"> (Pataliputra)</span>]]</span> [[User talk:पाटलिपुत्र|'''(talk)''']] 07:55, 20 April 2023 (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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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
Just a note to remind members that May is the time for local elections in England. Some new articles will be required for details of the elections in the different areas holding elections. Location articles may need updating to cover changes to the political makeup of the councils.

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 [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

Hi.

Does [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Administrators%27_noticeboard/Archive351#Repeated_hostility_by_User:Beyond_My_Ken this] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Talk:Mary_Tyler_Moore#External_links_again this] seem like the kind of behavior that should be expected from an editor who has recently been released from an indef block? As the admin who blocked and then unblocked him, perhaps a word might be in order?

:Hello Joe Roe, I just thought you might be interested to know that Koavf, who you blocked in 2020 for edit warring, has been edit warring again and has performed three reverts of the same edit in the past few days on [[Template:The Troggs]].

; 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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.

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

[[File:Imbox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

== [[The Thief Collector]] ==

I believe it meets [[WP:DRAFTIFY]]. The article definitely has merit, was more than one hour since last edit, no copyvio. For crit #2, South by Southwest is not independent, and the other review aggregators aren't significant. Could you explain why it doesn't meet draftify? [[User:Sungodtemple|Sungodtemple]] ([[User talk:Sungodtemple|talk]] &#8226; [[Special:Contributions/Sungodtemple|contribs]]) 14:22, 11 June 2023 (UTC)

:Please explain to me which part of criteria #2 requires citations to non-independent and "significant" (whatever that means) sources. Because frankly, the message you left on [[User talk:Nebirish|the creator's talk page]] was complete nonsense. You told them it was moved to draftspace because {{tq|it needs more citations from reliable, independent sources}}, but every single sentence outside of the [[WP:LEADCITE|lead]] and [[WP:PLOTCITE|plot summary]] had an inline citation to a reliable source. You criticised the use of South by Southwest's website as a source for the fact that the film appeared at the South by Southwest festival, RottenTomatoes.com for its RottenTomatoes score, and Metacritic.com for its Metacritic score. If you were in Nebirish's shoes here, would you have the slightest idea what to do to satisfy you? &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 14:40, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
::Significant = significant coverage. RottenTomatoes and Metacritic are review aggregators. I don't consider that significant coverage, kind of like a repost on [[Yahoo News]] isn't significant coverage. It would be more obvious in terms of notability to cite individual reviews instead of a combined score. [[WP:NFILM|NFILM]] could also be pointed to. I believe there is a lack of GNG-passing sources in the article right now, thus meeting crit #2. [[User:Sungodtemple|Sungodtemple]] ([[User talk:Sungodtemple|talk]] &#8226; [[Special:Contributions/Sungodtemple|contribs]]) 18:05, 11 June 2023 (UTC)
:::Putting aside the fact that this film is obviously notable (those aggregators list reviews in the LA Times, the Guardian, Variety, etc.), you'll note that notability concerns are not part of [[WP:DRAFTIFY]]. The [[WP:NEXIST|notability guideline]] also explicitly states that {{tq|notability requires only the existence of suitable independent, reliable sources, not their immediate presence or citation in an article}}. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 05:04, 12 June 2023 (UTC)

== Drafts ==

The draft was declined by an AFC reviewer as not sufficiently sourced to meet notability standards for films, but was then immediately moved into mainspace just one hour later by a random editor who is not an AFC reviewer with no further improvement and no resubmission for a second review. Editors simply aren't allowed to just waltz in and circumvent the AFC process like that. [[User:Bearcat|Bearcat]] ([[User talk:Bearcat|talk]]) 17:04, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|Bearcat}} Erm, they are actually. AfC is optional. Also note the [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Incidents#User:Twinkle1990|ongoing ANI thread]] about that reviewers poor reviews. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 17:06, 16 June 2023 (UTC)

== Hello ==

Hey Joe. Thank you for supporting my RFA, even though I didn't answer your question perfectly. Just wanted you to know that I read your feedback, reflected on it, and I appreciate you sharing it with me. I hope we will get many chances to collaborate together positively in the future. Sincerely, –[[User:Novem Linguae|<span style="color:blue">'''Novem Linguae'''</span>]] <small>([[User talk:Novem Linguae|talk]])</small> 21:43, 17 June 2023 (UTC)

:You beat me to posting on your talk page, congratulations on passing! Sorry that my comment seems to have fueled the (miniscule) oppose camp. It really was just meant as a general comment on the direction of RfA lately, not you specifically. I'm very happy you decided to run; it's been a while since we had a new admin from NPP and I think you'll do a great job. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 07:21, 18 June 2023 (UTC)

== What was wrong with it ==

I supplied reliable third person sources to show that [[Anna Margraf]] was notable. I don't understand why it was deleted. [[User:Dwanyewest|Dwanyewest]] ([[User talk:Dwanyewest|talk]]) 17:57, 25 June 2023 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|Dwanyewest}}. The [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=User_talk:Dwanyewest&diff=prev&oldid=1161894945 message you removed from your talk page] explained why; have you read it? &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 04:05, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

== Hounding ==

{{Diff2|1161975564|This}} is really pushing the bounds of acceptable admin behavior. Further hounding may result in a report to AN. ~ [[User:Pbritti|Pbritti]] ([[User talk:Pbritti|talk]]) 06:34, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

:You alluded to that SPI several times in [[User_talk:Pbritti#Draftifications|our conversation about the drafts]] and [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Armenia in the Late Bronze and Early Iron Ages|in an AfD nom in which you pinged me]]; obviously I was going to look at it. Please try to calm down. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 06:50, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

:::@[[User:Pbritti|Pbritti]] you aren’t being hounded. Looking at the PA I mention on your talk page and this one, I’m considering blocking you when I get home.

== Merge notice ==

I'm confused by [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Balthier&action=history this edit], which you've now done against the will of multiple editors. Its not just that its not necessary, but that it could be actively detrimental - we actively don't want people spending time on conducting a merge right now with it at DRV. There's also the fact that if you read its DRV discussions, its pretty likely be to overturned from its original merge close anyways. I don't understand the need here. [[User:Sergecross73|<span style="color:green">Sergecross73</span>]] [[User talk:Sergecross73|<span style="color:teal">msg me</span>]] 16:41, 26 June 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|Sergecross73}} "Multiple" = two? And the first one because they misread the instructions and thought it was supposed to go on the talk page? Anyway, as I explained in my edit summary, I added {{tl|deletion review}} to the page, which explicitly tells people to hold off on merging until the DRV is over. I understand that you're in favour of overturning the decision, but I think it's best to wait until a formal, uninvolved close before implementing that outcome. [[WP:BRD]] also applies here. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 16:47, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
::At the time of my revert, I was not aware that it had been contested before, I didn't bother to check the page history when removing an unnecessary tag like that. It was only in my shock of being reverted on such an edit that I checked the page history and saw I wasn't the only one who opposed its placement. Neither your edit summaries nor your explanation here help me understand why you'd think it would be good idea to have 2 concurrent templates that say "''don't merge''" and  "''please consider assisting in the merger instead of re-nominating the article for deletion''" atop the same article, but I don't wish to sink any more time into this. [[User:Sergecross73|<span style="color:green">Sergecross73</span>]] [[User talk:Sergecross73|<span style="color:teal">msg me</span>]] 16:55, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
:::{{tq|If [the DRV] doesn't end in overturning, [the merge] still needs to be carried out, and there's no guarantee anybody's going to remember to restore the tag}}. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 16:59, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
::::I don't believe its likely that an article that has been through lengthy AFD and DRV discussions is going to be just forgotten about like that. [[User:Sergecross73|<span style="color:green">Sergecross73</span>]] [[User talk:Sergecross73|<span style="color:teal">msg me</span>]] 17:16, 26 June 2023 (UTC)
:::::You'd be surprised. I come across articles that have been left in limbo for years after an AfD because of a forgotten or misplaced template (perhaps why I'm coming at this from a different perspective to you). People tend to lose interest when it's no longer a debate. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 17:23, 26 June 2023 (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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.

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 [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

== On GEOLAND ==

Concerning [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(geographic_features)&diff=prev&oldid=1165766088 this edit], I'd suggest you take a look at my comments, including [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(geographic_features)&diff=prev&oldid=1165797122 this recent one] about WP:V but also earlier statements of my position about geographical Notability like [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Wikipedia_talk:Notability_(geographic_features)&diff=prev&oldid=1165057200 this one].
I am an editor comfortable with and supportive of the GEOLAND ''status quo'', and I belive the current proposal, preferably with a couple of wikilinks included, is as close to the status quo as the community is likely to support - it certainly comes nowhere near applying GNG to all-purpose official geographical units, which option I suspect would receive significant support in an open-ended RfC.
Under these circumstances, I wonder if you might consider backing away from insisting on an RfC, so long as the details of the emerging consensus can be worked out? [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 16:41, 18 July 2023 (UTC)

:I'm not really into this type of 'tactical' thinking. The only reason to worry about asking for broader input on a question is that you think you won't like the answer, and I don't think that's really in the spirit of consensus-based governance. My comment wasn't intended to insist on a formal RfC (or anything), just point out the absurdity of calling a complete rewrite of GEOLAND a "relatively minor change" or invoking BOLD for a policy change that's already been discussed to death. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 09:04, 19 July 2023 (UTC)
::Well, it is a "relatively minor change" in terms of the expected impact on deletion results, and BOLD was being invoked in the sense of "there is consensus here, so let's skip the formalities in implementation".
::Also, I disagree that {{tq|The only reason to worry about asking for broader input on a question is that you think you won't like the answer}} - I mean, depending on what is meant by "not liking the answer". My main concern about unnecessary RfCs is that I have frequently seen "no consensus" results enshrine unfortunate or unintended situations, and ill-timed or ill-formulated processes are one of the main factors leading to those suboptimal results. 
::Certainly I agree that "avoiding an RfC because the community might want something different from what you want" isn't in the spirit of community governance, but that is not in any way my concern. [[User:Newimpartial|Newimpartial]] ([[User talk:Newimpartial|talk]]) 09:48, 19 July 2023 (UTC)

== Autopatrolled ==
Hi, I was wondering if you were still okay with giving me back autopatrolled when I asked? You mentioned that discussion in my user rights log if you don't remember what I'm talking about. But the gist is I'm feeling more confident than I was then. I'm also still creating articles and I've been really inspired lately about content gaps in my local area. I typically work in draftspace before I move to mainspace. I also admit that I'd prefer to not get constant emails whenever my redirects are automatically reviewed.

; 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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.


;Yorkshire Day
Happy [[Yorkshire Day]] to all the project members. I have selected the article as the start-class article for improvement for this month. So take a look at what is there and see if you can improve it.

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

[[File:Imbox style.png]]The project is subscribed to a [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

== Thanks ==

Hi, you recently accepted me for new pages patrol, and were worried about my low accept rate in AfC. I had a bit of a think afterwards about why it was so low and I realised I think I get anxious about accepting articles I think are good, and leave them to others because I worry much more about getting told off for accepting something I shouldn't. I wouldn't have thought about this if you hadn't had pointed it out to me, and now it's something I can work on, so I appreciate you pointing it out to me and I'm sorry for getting a bit defensive. Diligence is important and I'm glad you are :) [[user:Notcharizard|<span style="color:#70A67A">-- NotC</span><span style="color:#396340">hariza</span><span style="color:#0D2311">rd</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Notcharizard|<span style="color:#0D2311">🗨</span>]]</sup> 07:27, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

Pardon me for missing something, but the user above does not seem to be a member of NPP according to [[Special:UserRights/Notcharizard]] despite being granted for a trial? ( I only came across this only while randomly looking at [[WP:PERM/NPP]] on my watchlist out of curiousity). Thanks for your work at PERM.

== Autopatrol and me ==

Hi Joe: I'd like to be listed for privileges conferred by Autopatrol. [[Wikipedia:Autopatrolled]],
as it may facilitate by posting of New Articles. The updated system for new articles may require a "4-month or more" waiting period. My articles are largely "finished" as I post them. What say you? [[User:36hourblock|36hourblock]] ([[User talk:36hourblock|talk]]) 17:32, 3 September 2023 (UTC)

:Hi {{u|36hourblock}}. I'm afraid you don't yet meet the minimum criteria for autopatrolled. But when you say system, I think you're talking about [[Wikipedia:Articles for Creation|Articles for Creation]]? If so the good news is that's completely optional – and generally not recommended for experienced users like yourself. Next time you want to create an article, just navigate to the title/click on a red link (for example, one of these days I want to create [[Tell Qarassa North]]) and click on "create" or "create source". That way there's no wait or review process (well except [[WP:NPP|new pages patrol]], but that's much lighter than AfC). &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 12:17, 4 September 2023 (UTC)

This doesn't make sense to me. I still need to go through the New Article process, which will be directed into the same "4-month-or-more" process. The system is not "completely optional" as I have experienced it. --[[User:36hourblock|36hourblock]] ([[User talk:36hourblock|talk]]) 17:12, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

:{{ping|36hourblock}} You don't need to though. For example, I can see you have [[Draft:Make Light of It: Collected Stories of William Carlos Williams]] waiting for review. Instead of doing that, you could simply [[WP:MOVE|move]] it to the article space yourself. Or let's say you want to create an article about ''The Cod Head'' by the same author next, simply [[Special:Edit/The Cod Head|click this link]], write an initial stub, and click on "publish page" – you bypass a draft altogether. It's hard to explain but easy when you know how. Just ''don't'' use the [[Wikipedia:Article_wizard|article wizard]]. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 17:29, 8 September 2023 (UTC)

== A few thoughts (and thanks) ==

Firstly, I highly appreciate and thank your excellent and hard work in reviewing PERM/NPP, which is often backlogged for weeks. On my watchlist I saw [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?oldid=1175056714#User:Ortizesp this request]. I previously waffled between whether I should comment but decided not to. I will note that my direct interactions with that editor have been positive. Their AfD match rate is only <60%, which I don't know how it's stellar. In the past they've frequently removed BLPPRODs incorrectly ([[User talk:Ortizesp#BLPPROD notice]]), but other editors posted the warnings before I noticed these, and I also recalled [[User talk:Ortizesp#A reminder about decorum at AfD|this]] but decided not to comment then as the AfD in question was contentious. I am not questioning your overall judgement, but given your high standards with granting NPP/PERM, I am slightly surprised that you granted a full perm and recommended them to ''RfA''. Again, I understand that PERM is a highly difficult and time-consuming area IMO as a non-admin and I highly respect and commend your work there, and this isn't a criticism or anything.

Also, thanks for expanding the history section on WP:NPP- maybe they could go in a separate page instead of being in the tutorial, but these info on the older history very interesting to me. Thanks. '''[[User:VickKiang|<span style="color:blue; padlue 2px 2px 2px;">VickKiang</span>]]''' [[User talk:VickKiang|<span style="color:light blue; padlue 2px 2px 2px;">(talk)</span>]] 22:02, 12 September 2023 (UTC)

:Hmm, yes, I was obviously feeling generous then. I'll make sure to keep an eye on their reviewing for the time being. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 13:35, 15 September 2023 (UTC)

== [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Soben Huon (2nd nomination)]] ==

Please could you restore this article per your offer at the AFD? There seem to be a fair few book and article coverages with reasonable suggestion that GNG is met. The OP presented no evidence at all, plus this was a unanimous keep last time it was nominated in 2006, so I don't think this was the correct outcome. Cheers &nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;[[User:Amakuru|Amakuru]] ([[User talk:Amakuru|talk]]) 10:26, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

:I don't think a keep outcome 17 years ago—when as you know expectations were rather different at AfD—should inoculate an article from soft deletion indefinitely. But yes, it's a soft deletion so I've no problem at all restoring it. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 12:44, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

== {{u|Notcharizard}} ==

Could you review your granting of AfC reviewer perms to this editor, please. The three reviews of academics I've checked are completely wrong. Cheers, [[User:Espresso Addict|Espresso Addict]] <small>([[User talk:Espresso Addict|talk]])</small> 23:47, 21 September 2023 (UTC)

:I have said I will avoid reviewing academics until I understand the guidelines of them better, and also that I was hesitant to accept those ones because the submitter was being paid to write them. [[user:Notcharizard|<span style="color:#70A67A">-- NotC</span><span style="color:#396340">hariza</span><span style="color:#0D2311">rd</span>]] <sup>[[User talk:Notcharizard|<span style="color:#0D2311">🗨</span>]]</sup> 03:23, 22 September 2023 (UTC)
:{{ping|Espresso Addict}} I granted NotCharizard [[WP:NPR|new page reviewer]]. They were an AfC reviewer (which doesn't require a PERM, just an entry on [[Wikipedia:WikiProject_Articles_for_creation/Participants]]) before that and would continue to be even if I revoked NPR. In any case, their NPR right is scheduled to expire in a couple of weeks so it'll be reviewed in due course.
:{{ping|Notcharizard}} Topics covered by SNGs are tricky. I think it's a good idea not to review articles or drafts in those areas until you're comfortable with the relevant guideline. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 06:10, 22 September 2023 (UTC)

'''Backlog update:'''
At the time of this message, there are ''11,300'' articles and ''15,600'' redirects awaiting review. This is the highest backlog in a long time. Please help out by doing additional reviews!

'''October backlog elimination drive''':
A one-month backlog drive for October will start in one week! Barnstars will be awarded based on the number of articles and redirects patrolled. Articles will earn 4x as many points compared to redirects. You can [[Wikipedia:New pages patrol/Backlog drives/October 2023/Participants|sign up here]].

'''PageTriage code upgrades''':
Upgrades to the [[mw:Extension:PageTriage|PageTriage]] code, initiated by the [[Wikipedia:NPPWMF|NPP open letter]] in 2022 and actioned by the [[mw:Moderator_Tools|WMF Moderator Tools Team]] in 2023, are ongoing. More information can be found [[Wikipedia:Page Curation/2023 Moderator Tools project|here]]. As part of this work, the [[Special:NewPagesFeed]] now has a new version in beta! The update leaves the NewPagesFeed appearance and function mostly identical to the old one, but updates the underlying code, making it easier to maintain and helping make sure the extension is not decommissioned due to maintenance issues in the future. You can try out the new Special:NewPagesFeed [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Special:NewPagesFeed?ui_version=1 here] - it will replace the current version soon.

'''Notability tip''':
Professors can meet [[WP:PROF]] #1 by having their academic papers be widely cited by their peers. When reviewing professor articles, it is a good idea to find their [[Google Scholar]] or [[Scopus]] profile and take a look at their [[h-index]] and number of citations. As a ''very rough'' rule of thumb, for most fields, articles on people with a h-index of [[h-index#Examples|twenty or more]], a first-authored paper with more than a thousand citations, or multiple papers each with more than a hundred citations are likely to be kept at AfD.

'''Reviewing tip''':
If you would like like a second opinion on your reviews or simply want another new page reviewer by your side when patrolling, we recommend pair reviewing! This is where two reviewers use [https://discordapp.com/invite/heF3xPu Discord] voice chat and screen sharing to communicate with each other while reviewing the same article simultaneously. This is a great way to learn and transfer knowledge.

== Your revert ==

I wanted to let you know why I [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Genocides_in_history_(before_World_War_I)&diff=prev&oldid=1176554965 reverted] 11 edits at [[Genocides in history (before World War I)]]. These edits were made by a [[Wp:Block Evasion|block-evading]] [[Wikipedia:Long-term abuse|long-term abuser]] known as the [[User:Beyond My Ken/Bad copyediting IP|Bad copyediting IP]]. For more information see [[User:Nythar/User tracking#Bad copyediting IP]]. I normally revert their edits on sight, and, as can be seen in the diffs you provided, they have a habit of adding excessive numbers wikilinks, in some cases adding dozens of irrelevant "see also" links. Their block evasion is a major factor behind my reverts, and their copyediting, more often than not, negatively affects articles. I also don't want to spend my time salvaging their constructive edits (which are rare) from a sea of unconstructive ones. I don't often report them at AIV because very few (if any) admins are aware of their editing habits, and to have them successfully blocked I need to present a large amount of evidence in every report. Perhaps in the future I'll state the reason I'm reverting their edits in my edit summaries instead of just using rollback.

== AfCs and ancient languages ==

Hi, I thought I'd take the time to respond to [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Draft%3AKalasmaic_language&diff=1177406415&oldid=1176687539 this comment] since you are an experienced editor. Usually it's the managers of the garage bands complaining about articles being declined :) If you look at the decline notice, it does not state that the "entire ancient language" is not notable, but rather that "this draft's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article". To do so, sources are required to be:
* in-depth (not just passing mentions about the subject)
* reliable
* secondary
* independent of the subject 
The single source provided in the submission I declined (not rejected, which means that the topic is deemed not suitable for Wikipedia at all, with no opportunity to resubmit) in no way meets these requirements. It's misunderstanding the role of volunteer AfC reviewers to expect them to be experts in everything they review. Much as I would like to be knowledgeable in ancient languages, botany, astronomy, crypto entrepreneurs, self-published literature as well as garage bands etc., all I am evaluating is whether the existing references meet the notability guidelines. If the language in question is really notable, and not, for example, a hoax, a maverick researcher's non-notable opinion, then there will be multiple independent sources written about that. It is not for the reviewer to track down these sources, but for those contributing to the draft to do so.

I note that you are have an interest in Women in Red. I focus on reviews in that area as well. The AfC backlog is huge, and submissions can languish for many months before being reviewed, by which time the contributors may have lost motivation. A quick decline is a positive, and provides contributors an opportunity to quickly make the required changes to an improperly-sourced submission.

You are welcome to explore more at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Articles for creation]]. I know you're involved in other areas, but also you're welcome to get involved if you wish - we are under-resourced and would value assistance. While the volume of drivel flung at us can be overwhelming, it's an opportunity to help get notable topics approved, and attract new contributors.

== New page reviewer right ==

Hi Joe, you recently gave the new page reviewer right to {{u|Ortizesp}}. I recently tried unsuccessfully to chat to this editor about a non-reliable source they had used and noticed that their talk page contained numerous AfD notifications. Yesterday, they  [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Denis_Huseinba%C5%A1i%C4%87&diff=prev&oldid=1177331837 added] a copyrighted image to an article, which was promptly deleted. I know they've been around the block, but these things suggest that they shouldn't be a new page reviewer. Best, [[User:Modussiccandi|Modussiccandi]] ([[User talk:Modussiccandi|talk]]) 18:48, 27 September 2023 (UTC)

:*Hey mate, the single "non-reliable" source is a non-issue. I'm on vacation and would just edit it out, but looking at the "About Us" page on the publication, I think its reliable enough for a passing reference. Also the AFDs are because NFOOTY got deprecated this year, so lots of articles that were once deemed noteable now aren't. I've created thousands of other pages that haven't been deleted. Cheers.[[User:Ortizesp|Ortizesp]] ([[User talk:Ortizesp|talk]]) 22:44, 27 September 2023 (UTC)
:Hi {{u|Modussiccandi}}. When I review PERM requests I'm not overly concerned by deletion ''nominations'', since those don't indicate the user has made a mistake in assessing the notability of a topic, only that someone else thinks they might have. I look for what the outcome of the AfD was, and XTools shows that a miniscule proportion of Ortizesp's  4,251 created pages have been deleted. That's actually quite impressive given the community's recent decision to tighten standards for biographies football players, mentioned by Ortizesp above.
:I'm also not really convinced that a dispute over the reliability of a single source, or a deletion on Commons, is the kind of thing that would usually prompt us to reconsider a user's perms. But of course just because I assigned Ortizesp NPR it doesn't mean I'm the arbiter of whether he keeps it; if you have specific reviewing actions you're concerned about, you might try [[WP:XRV]], otherwise there's ANI for seeking the removal of perms. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 04:42, 28 September 2023 (UTC)
::Fair enough; I am happy to concede the point about the AfDs! The image deletion is an absolute no brainer to me and I think reviewers ought to have a firm handle on that sort of thing. It's hardly encouraging to find such signs of careless editing in a reviewer at first glance. I'll let the matter rest for the time being.

:{{ping| Modussiccandi}} Fwiw, I raised a somewhat [[User talk:Joe Roe#A few thoughts (and thanks)|similar thread]] not long ago. I had a look at their log and noticed a few obvious mistakes (i.e., [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=152344570 this tagging of db-person which was obviously incorrect for a reserve] and [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Special:Log&logid=152306850 this PROD which was even flagged as incorrect according to the template added itself as it has had multipled AfD discussions before]), though both pages are unsuitable for inclusion, and the patrolling of 3 or 4 articles a minute. Now obviously for articles for politcian/species/populated area stubs and the like this is absolutely fine, or when marking as patrolled for pages created by editors who the reviewer is familiar with and has little/no issues requiring NPP intervention, but it doesn't seem to be the case here so it is not ideal. However, I don't think their error rate is bad (I still make some embarassing errors while reviewing even one year on...) to the extent that their perm should be immediately removed, but it's probably worth keeping an eye on.

; 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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.


;Article counts

The drop in the article count last month was caused by a BOT converting the assesments over for pages that had become redirects. Please remember that when you convert an existing article into a redirect to change the class rating to {{para|class|Redir}} and remove the importance rating from the project banner on the talk page.

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 [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

Hi Joe. I saw [[:File:Outcome of English Wikipedia RfAs in the discretionary range.svg]] and would like to present some related analysis on ''The Signpost''. Do you have a graphic that shows all the RfAs, not just the ones in the discretionary range?

== GMH Melbourne's autopatrolled right ==

They say that they {{tq|understand which pages that qualify for deletion and which are fine for wikipedia}}, yet they nominated a state highway article for deletion when [[WP:GEOROAD]] exists. Not sure giving them autopatrolled was the right call. '''''[[User:LilianaUwU|<span style="font-family:default;color:#246BCE;">Liliana</span><span style="font-family:Comic Sans MS;color:#FF1493;">UwU</span>]]''''' <sup>([[User talk:LilianaUwU|talk]] / [[Special:Contributions/LilianaUwU|contributions]])</sup> 15:01, 2 October 2023 (UTC)

:Note that the [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/M43 (Durban)|AfD]] was closed as 'delete' by an admin indicating that the AfD nomination was the correct call. I do not appreciate this attempt to discredit me. It goes against [[WP:Etiquette]] guidelines. If @[[User:LilianaUwU|LilianaUwU]] has a problem with my conduct, or have a problem with a permission I have been granted, [[WP:Administrators' noticeboard/Incidents]] is the place to raise the matter, not on someone else's talk page without even notifying me.

== [[List of international cricket centuries by Desmond Haynes]] ==

How do I go about restoring [[List of international cricket centuries by Desmond Haynes]]? You closed the discussion at [[Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/List of international cricket centuries by Desmond Haynes]] a couple of years ago. It was a good close, but one of the worst AfD results ever. Not only could this easily be a featured list; not only is it an integral part of [[Template:International cricket centuries]], but the main argument addressing the nominator's specific issue - namely, that Haynes previously held the record for ODI centuries, and received plenty of coverage for that when [https://books.google.com/books?id=M-gDAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA951 Tendulkar broke the record] - was never mentioned. [[User:StAnselm|<b>St</b>]][[Special:Contributions/StAnselm|Anselm]] ([[User talk:StAnselm|talk]]) 17:33, 25 October 2023 (UTC)

:Well the result was to merge it to [[Desmond Haynes#Centuries]], so you can just work on it in there or undo the redirect. The former content is still in the history. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 06:18, 26 October 2023 (UTC)

== Speaking of this guy, ==

I was finding sources for a bunch of unreferenced eclipse articles and, because ReFill doesn't process space.com author metadata properly, I had to mess around with it manually, which means I had to move this same guy's name around like twenty times, and the same guy had written a bunch of articles that were broadly similar and I was citing them in articles that were quite monotonous, so I was getting to the point of noticing minor details, and at this point you may be wondering why this has anything to do with you, but the guy's name [https://en.wikipedia.org/enwiki/w/index.php?title=Solar_eclipse_of_February_15,_2018&diff=prev&oldid=1182084387 reminded me of someone] -- hope you are doing well.

; 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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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.

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 [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

== SSSniperWolf draft rejection ==

You rejected [[Draft:SSSniperWolf]] with the comment "There is a broad consensus that SSSniperWolf does not currently meet Wikipedia's notability", referring to the last AfD. The articles from Time, NBC, Polygon, Forbes and Kotaku did not exist when the last AfD closed, so that AfD is obsolete. DoubleGrazing added a similar comment.<span id="Alexis_Jazz:1699380623972:User_talkFTTCLNJoe_Roe" class="FTTCmt"> — <span style="color:#e08020">Alexis Jazz</span> ([[User talk:Alexis Jazz|talk]] or ping me) 18:10, 7 November 2023 (UTC)</span>

:{{ping|Alexis Jazz}} I referred to the last AfD ''as an example''; the four before that, and the [[Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2023 October 27|the deletion review]], and [[Wikipedia:Redirects_for_discussion#SSSniperWolf|the RfD]], and [[Wikipedia:Administrators'_noticeboard/Archive355#SSSniperwolf|the AN discussion]], and [[Wikipedia:Biographies_of_living_persons/Noticeboard/Archive354#Draft:Sssniperwolf|the BLPN discussion]],  are obviously also relevant. An experienced user like yourself knows that there's technically nothing stopping you recreating the article as long as it doesn't exactly duplicate the one deleted at AfD, but both AfC and AfD are chronically backlogged processes and I [[WP:IAR|don't think we can afford]] to use so much volunteer time asking people to review the same article again and again with slightly better sources. That's what I meant when I said that {{tq|any new draft needs to make a ''very compelling case'' that the available sourcing has substantially changed}}. If and when you think you've assembled the sources you need to overcome the weight of prior consensus then by all means recreate it; I'd be happy to move it over full protection if you need me to. But an extra 200 words and eight sources on the latest manufactured influencer spat ain't it. &ndash;&#8239;[[User:Joe Roe|Joe]]&nbsp;<small>([[User talk:Joe Roe|talk]])</small> 19:08, 7 November 2023 (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]] • [[Doncaster]] • [[East Riding of Yorkshire]] • [[Henry Moore]] • [[Kingston upon Hull]] • [[Leeds]] • [[Northern England]] • [[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
A Happy Christmas to all members of the project and thanks for all the work you have put in supporting articles relating to Yorkshire. The year saw much change, especially to the governance of [[North Yorkshire]] which became a unitary authority in April. This affected a large number of articles, but most of this has been done by those who are active. There is still many of the smaller settlements that need updating, so if you have time have a go at bringing them up to date.

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 [https://bambots.brucemyers.com/cwb/bycat/Yorkshire.html '''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/Watch All|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. You will also have to check that the Commons link is set correctly.

* The Arbitration Committee has [[Special:PermanentLink/1184772491#Call for Checkusers and Oversighters|announced]] a call for Checkusers and Oversighters, stating that it will currently be accepting applications for CheckUser and/or Oversight permissions at any point in the year.
