 * 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 Featured article status
 * To bring all other top priority articles (currently 15 with 2 at FA) to at least Good article status
 * To set up a weekly or monthly selected article improvement drive (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.

Images of England
The Images of England web site is to be decommissioned this month by Historic England. The text of the site entries has been available on the corresponding National Heritage List entry since that web site was created. The images are being transferred ahead of the decommissioning. As a result of this a BOT has changed all IoE templates to NHLE templates and translated the reference number according to a list provided by Historic England.

It would be good if members could check these, when they come across them, as I have spotted one with an incorrect translation. Some articles already had NHLE templates in them so the references may need to be combined. Other changes that may need to be performed are removal of template or text referring to the site as needing registration, changing the text "Images of England" or "IoE" to something more appropriate or may be even removing it if it is part of the description..


 * WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The August 2019 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

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


 * Please bear in mind...

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.

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. 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.

Proposed deletion of Trial of Mary Fitzpatrick


The article Trial of Mary Fitzpatrick has been proposed for deletion&#32;because of the following concern: "I dont see anything in the article that makes this particularly noteworthy for a stand alone article"

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. MilborneOne (talk) 15:56, 26 August 2019 (UTC)


 * *I have removed the deletion template for reasons given in my edit summary. Moreover, this article was created as part of the Women in Red movement. Not all notable women have been middle or upper class and not all notable women have achieved worthy aims. Sometimes the lives of poor 19th century women of the lowest class can represent much that was wrong with society in those days, and there is a notability in articles which clearly draw attention to that. I suggest that you read it again, and see what the article is really about. Storye book (talk) 16:23, 26 August 2019 (UTC)

DYK for Beaver Falls Cutlery Company
valereee (talk) 12:01, 1 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Very good to see this — I lived in Beaver Falls for five years and am familiar with the various places mentioned in the article, and am quite happy to see someone else writing about it :-) Some comments: (1) See File:Beaver Falls, PA.JPG; the company site isn't quite in this picture, but the dam in the foreground also appears in the background of File:Beaver Falls Cutlery Works 1867.jpg.  (2) The site is now occupied by a newer factory, a cold drawn metals facility owned by Keystone Profiles.  (3) Do any of your sources address the current use of the Chinese cemetery?  It's now occupied by a playground, and there's a historical marker on site discussing the cemetery, but not knowing of published sources, of course I don't want to add that information to the article.  (4) I'm hoping to be back in town in a few weeks; if I can remember, I'll be able to supply pictures to improve the article further.  Nyttend (talk) 22:50, 1 September 2019 (UTC)


 * Thank you for filling me in on that - I had wondered where the factory fitted in on the general landscape. I have seen some very beautiful pictures of the landscape which surrounds Beaver Falls, and I notice that Thomas Skinner was painting pictures of it while he was there. Sheffield (UK), where Skinner came from, was industrial, sooty and smoky, so he must have found Beaver Falls a heavenly place. Yes, please improve the article as you feel appropriate. I look forward to it. Storye book (talk) 09:47, 2 September 2019 (UTC)
 * In later years, as steel and other metals came to dominate the economy, Beaver Falls became quite sooty. Some years ago they cleaned Old Main (Geneva College) and intentionally didn't clean a small patch, and the difference is quite amazing — most of the building looks like nice sandstone, and the uncleaned spot looks like it's been painted.  As far as the landscape, see some of my favorite scenery pictures (but I took them all, so maybe I'm biased...): File:Beaver River Beaver Falls.jpg, the river itself a ways north of the cutlery company, File:Eastvale.jpg, the tiny borough across the river, and File:Darlington Township Pennsylvania.jpg, countryside about 9½ miles northwest of the cutlery company (map), at a farmhouse then belonging to someone in the church I attended while living there.  Also, I suspect that the street numbers are anachronisms: they're obviously correct today (the city has just three named streets: College Avenue, Pine Street, and Locust Street), but an 1866 map of Beaver Falls (then encompassing just today's downtown) shows all but a couple of the streets with names, not numbers, including "Main St" (now 7th Avenue), and what was then 2nd Street is now 3rd Avenue.  "The names were changed to the current system for better mail delivery", per OCLC 794006022, but the date of the change isn't given.  Nyttend (talk) 00:20, 3 September 2019 (UTC)
 * Wow, thank you - those picture links are beautiful. I have no personal connection with these people or places, but researching them feels like time-travelling. The newspaper reports, and pictures like yours, can sometimes bring it all to life. Storye book (talk) 07:23, 3 September 2019 (UTC)

DYK nomination of Trial of Mary Fitzpatrick
Hello! Your submission of Trial of Mary Fitzpatrick at the Did You Know nominations page has been reviewed, and some issues with it may need to be clarified. Please review the comment(s) underneath your nomination's entry and respond there as soon as possible. Thank you for contributing to Did You Know! SL93 (talk) 18:43, 9 September 2019 (UTC)

September 2019
Your recent editing history at Kate Dover shows that you are currently engaged in an edit war; that means that you are repeatedly changing content back to how you think it should be, when you have seen that other editors disagree. To resolve the content dispute, please do not revert or change the edits of others when you are reverted. Instead of reverting, please use the talk page to work toward making a version that represents consensus among editors. The best practice at this stage is to discuss, not edit-war. See the bold, revert, discuss cycle for how this is done. If discussions reach an impasse, you can then post a request for help at a relevant noticeboard or seek dispute resolution. In some cases, you may wish to request temporary page protection.

Being involved in an edit war can result in you being blocked from editing&mdash;especially if you violate the three-revert rule, which states that an editor must not perform more than three reverts on a single page within a 24-hour period. Undoing another editor's work—whether in whole or in part, whether involving the same or different material each time—counts as a revert. Also keep in mind that while violating the three-revert rule often leads to a block, you can still be blocked for edit warring&mdash;even if you don't violate the three-revert rule&mdash;should your behavior indicate that you intend to continue reverting repeatedly. — MarkH21 (talk) 09:49, 11 September 2019 (UTC)

October Events from Women in Red
--Megalibrarygirl (talk) 17:36, 23 September 2019 (UTC) via MassMessaging

Nothing personal
Please understand, there is nothing personal here regarding our disagreement over Kate Dover. I genuinely admire your contributions here, particularly to interesting English history and WiR. I find it regrettable that our dialogue has come across as highly negative for you. I want to reiterate that my disagreements are just about the content. Anything else stemmed from my alarm when I found your reverts ignoring the discussion as it felt like ownership, and your feeling that I was intimidating you. It is clear is that we have different ways of communication and interpretation and consequently, this exchange has left a negative feeling on both sides.

I hope this can provide some kind, if even just a modicum, of resolution. All the best. — MarkH21 (talk) 06:44, 26 September 2019 (UTC)
