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 11,786 last month to 11,807 on March 29th). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 113 is ahead of WP:GM who have 84. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 57 out of a total number of 3,480 articles.
Currently we have thirty three Yorkshire featured articles:
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.

WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The April 2015 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to a 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 Use the 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 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.
Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...

Thank you so much for creating this biography of an important woman academic. It's a very nice surprise to see the article appear so soon after it was redlinked. Will you be submitting it for DYK? Best wishes, MartinPoulter (talk) 08:39, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
@MartinPoulter:, thanks for stopping by! Must have been luck that I came across it; I didn't realise that it had only been red linked recently. I do try my best to work away at the gender bias on Wikipedia and I was surprised that she didn't have an article already. I think I shall summit it for DYK as she is a very interesting person, especially because she was once arrested for suspecting spying! Gaia Octavia AgrippaTalk12:44, 9 April 2015 (UTC)
