Fine with me, thanks, it hadn't registered that it didn't have one. I think he's led something of a charmed life, convincing another admin that he was editing as an individual whilst his user page was an article about the institute, but I'm in a good mood today... (:

Religious offense deletion review

Proposed deletion of Janine Thompson

The article Janine Thompson has been proposed for deletion because it appears to have no references. Under Misplaced Pages policy, this newly created biography of a living person will be deleted unless it has at least one reference to a reliable source that directly supports material in the article.

If you created the article, please don't be offended. Instead, consider improving the article. For help on inserting references, see Referencing for beginners, or ask at the help desk. Once you have provided at least one reliable source, you may remove the {{prod blp}} tag. Please do not remove the tag unless the article is sourced. If you cannot provide such a source within ten days, the article may be deleted, but you can request that it be undeleted when you are ready to add one. -- Patchy1 02:02, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Ref now added - I thought I'd done so but must have forgotten to click "Add citation" after doing "Preview citation". Must remember to always check! PamD 08:51, 23 December 2012 (UTC)

Pennsylvania

Moved from my talk page. --Sue Rangell 19:56, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I guess the above editor raised it here because you seem to have created a large number of minimal stubs. An example is Allensville, Pennsylvania. If you're bulk-producing stubs like this, could you:
(I've done most or all of the above on this one)
When you're working on a lot of similar articles it would be a real help to the encyclopedia if you could do those things, and it's much easier for you to assign stub types and categories as you go along and have the sources to hand. PamD 10:35, 24 December 2012 (UTC)
I understand what you are saying. You want me to do more work than what I am doing. I can't. I do not have the desire to put any more work into those pages than I have. They are not a topic of great interest for me, and researching topics that I have little interest in, simply isn't my cup of tea. I was simply creating some requested pages, even though the subject was boring to me personally, for the good of Misplaced Pages. Don't take this the wrong way PLEASE. I do what I can, I'm sorry if you don't feel it's enough. I assume that those interested in the subject matter can take it from there. By the way, you did a LOT of work, it really looks good. Misplaced Pages needs more editors like you. It is nice to meet you. Be well. --Sue Rangell 19:56, 24 December 2012 (UTC)

Speedy deletion declined: Polgasowita

Hello PamD. I am just letting you know that I declined the speedy deletion of Polgasowita, a page you tagged for speedy deletion, because of the following concern: Article has been edited since it was tagged and has sufficient context to identify subject. Thank you. — Malik Shabazz /Stalk 05:14, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Apologies PamD, the message above was my fault. I tidied up the article, then went off on some other tangent without removing the A1. --Shirt58 (talk) 08:46, 1 January 2013 (UTC)
No problem - delighted to see someone upgrading it. PamD 09:59, 1 January 2013 (UTC)

Aims

After discussion at Misplaced Pages 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 -

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.


Signpost

Just to let members know that the project was featured in the 3 December issue of the Signpost magazine. You can read that issue of the magazine here.


Happy New Year

It is the start of another year so I would like to take this opportunity to wish all members of the project a happy New Year.


WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project

The January 2013 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from the project talk page.

Month Dates Article(s)
B class choice Start class choice
XXXIV 1 Oct 2012 ~ 31 Oct 2012 Settle-Carlisle Line RAF Holmpton
XXXV 1 Nov 2012 ~ 30 Nov 2012 National Media Museum Dobroyd Castle
XXXVI 1 Dec 2012 ~ 31 Dec 2012 Redcar Goole
XXXVII 1 Jan 2013 ~ 31 Jan 2013 Kate Rusby Patons and Baldwins

Please nominate future articles for improvement at Misplaced Pages 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.

  • 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.

Disambiguation link notification for January 3

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. Misplaced Pages appreciates your help. We noticed though that when you edited Wildsworth, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Laughton (check to confirm | fix with Dab solver). Such links are almost always unintended, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of "Did you mean..." article titles. Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.

Thanks for stub-sorting the Wahib al-Ghanim. You've saved me the task of finding the proper template for - a task which I don't find particularly enjoyable. --Piast93 21:02, 7 January 2013 (UTC)

Wikify

You've been adding the wikify template to articles with some of your AWB edits , . However that template doesn't exist anymore.
