Thanks keith, I found it on a random search of Lincolnshire, Just after id left a message on the WP Lincolnshire founders page asking if there was one yet !! So I added it ot a few pages as a start and to get some interest as nobody had signed up (for project) from when Id found the project page a few weeks ago, and added it to UK message board list. I was going to ask you about setting up the rest of it but servers have been a bit intermittent today. Is the assessments sub page just a copy of the master page copied to the project space ? I was just going to add it to the main towns + other high importance articles + the companies that Im interested in once ive cleared up a few outstanding Sheffield articles to assess. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 21:14, 30 September 2008 (UTC)
(Indent out) Thanks for note on tagging Keith, been doing Derbyshire today (yesterday) I'll have a look at the Lincs list then- BulldozerD11 ( talk) 01:04, 4 October 2008 (UTC)
Keith in your opinion is the class rating parrameter assigned by editos 'Global' in that all project boxes on a page should have the same value, as obiously the importance / priorty is project dependant. I've just had (after rating loads of articles over last few days) had BG7 say they should be changed in all Project boxes, yet loads had them had different values in multiple projects already, and if it should be one value then template should be structured to share value / auto update ? - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 22:34, 1 October 2008 (UTC)
(Indent out) Keith could you give me an opinion on River Trent as its a B -class, , I've changed footnotes to References, re jigged the order and added EL section, and added aditional {fact} tags as lower section with variouse claims is un referenced. What does it need to move up to A class in your opininon (its an article that rated High on several projects), so if it only needs a few tweaks its a good target.
The ibox says its in Yorkshire as well, but my OS maps a few years old and has S,yorks stoping short, and the confluence with the Ouse being in Humberside, which was re jigged, with Goole now in East Yorkshire, (on WP) so boundary appears as a few 100 m of river bank on the Goole micro map. - Thanks - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 11:41, 7 October 2008 (UTC)

Thanks for reviewing the Hebden page, Keith. Langcliffe ( talk) 17:49, 2 October 2008 (UTC)
The use of the term Priority in the project banners is slightly confusing as the Table has the tern importance and several projects use Importance as the term and the internal codes for that. Whats the Reason Priority was used on Yorkshire (and by default Sheffield & Lincs), as Companies, Derbyshire and Trains use Importance In and On the banner / template. If im Tagging a few I just Copy a existing { {WikiPro------|----|---|--|} } one and delete the existing values, as soon got borred typing out the lot (especialy derbyshires with 5 extra bits + nested on some pages. Thats why i now batch tag, espeicaly if adding other projects as well. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 01:52, 4 October 2008 (UTC)

Hi Keith, I reverted the references on education in Hull but you got to the contributor at the same time as me with the message. Thanks-- Harkey ( talk) 15:48, 7 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks for your work last night. By the look of the time stamp on your message you were burning the midnight oil.I have altered the TOC and heading levels.

I've been through Halifax where I accidentally bumped into User:Richard Harvey, who was also there at the time, so will now move on to Rotherham for a while.-- Harkey ( talk) 09:39, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
(reset indent)Thanks for your message. I contacted Doonhamer and he has said he will have a look at Hull and the GA comments. I did a printout of Anne Brontë and can't really see a lot that can be improved unless you have noticed any technical stuff.I will have another look at it later, though, as I was falling asleep over it! As for Leeds, I have my suspicions about one or two of the POV editors. Maybe we could get User:PamD on board for the quick cleanup, as she has been a vigilant and frequent contributor. I think the culture, media and sport will need the sub headings to be removed and some more references are needed for the history (which is not particularly brilliant).-- Harkey ( talk) 07:55, 14 October 2008 (UTC)
Hello, Keith
I have taken a third look at the Hebden article as suggested, and added a Religion section, a section of the origin of the name, and a reference to the Domesday book entry as recommended by the How to Write About Settlements page. Do you think that a section on Public Services is required for such a small village? I really don't want to clutter the article with material for its own sake. I am also a little perturbed by the increase in size of the Photo Gallery which has appeared. I was pleased to see half a dozen photographs which served as peacock descriptions of the area, but we now have a dozen, half of which don't really seem to contribute to the article. However, I don't want to incur anyone's wrath by removing any. - John -- Langcliffe ( talk) 10:13, 10 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Keith,
I hope all's well with you. I've been away from the project for a few months now for personal reasons. Back now, though I'm not in a position to edit as in-depth as I did before. Still, I'll be happy to help as as I can nonetheless. It looks like the Hull and KC Stadium articles have been in good hands during my hiatus. Anything on your radar that needs attention where I might be able to help out? Doonhamer ( talk) 23:56, 11 October 2008 (UTC)

Hello, Keith
I have added a Public Services section to Hebden, and after consultation with the other editor pruned the photograph gallery and provided a link to a new Wikimedia category, as you suggested. Hopefully, that's it? It's certainly a lot of words for a tiny village! But it's been a good learning experience... - John -- Langcliffe ( talk) 11:02, 12 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Keith, I've just looked at the front page of WPYorks and its gone haywire. There appears to be a table inserted which has sent all the subsequent text into columns. Can you see what has caused it, please?-- Harkey ( talk) 15:08, 13 October 2008 (UTC)
I've reworded that sentence so hopefully it's clearer now? Glancing above at some other discussions, I intend to push it towards FAC at some point, though various sections have quite a bit of work to do. Still I have a long-term plan in mind with it. Peanut4 ( talk) 21:11, 14 October 2008 (UTC)

Hiya.. you're very welcome. Honestly, I just found the page randomly, started fiddling, and got sucked right in. It was all very accidental. [ roux ] [ x was prince of canada 22:58, 15 October 2008 (UTC)
Thank for Note I've fixed it. Thats what comes of from multiple project tagging (and just pasting in), You missed an earlier one which should also have been one county and the summary said a different one or it might have been Sheffield. Thanks, it was from following links in the Pennines article which listed several about 10 areas. Added Dorman Long yesterday as they come in Yorkshire now but Teesside in someways to me fits better with the North East. Came across a village in Notts tagged as Derbyshire (not by me). I'm Purging some of the Lincs articles of all the inline ELs (It is correct removing all those Geograph links that riddle the text of some articles with more of them per paragraph than wiki links ?) as well as other dubious add links for hotels & shops etc looking like wiki links at first glance. Thers hundreds of those station articles about, I'm getting fed up of adding unreferenced at times to some blocks of articles. See your a bit busy 'Auditing' the Yorkshire articles. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 00:25, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Can I pass this to you Keith, I ve had a message about the Ibox map on the Hollinsclough article, I've not had anything to do with the I boxes and maps yet (Need to add a few when I've don adding articles needing them to Derbyshire Project list):
Any chance you can work out why the red blob for locations of Hollinsclough and Longnor, Staffordshire are on Edinburgh in the insert instead of within the Satffordshire boundary of the main outline map? Infobox map system. I have checked and rechecked the grid refs and latitude / longitude refs. No trouble getting 3 shire head in the right place straight away. Robert of Ramsor ( talk) 00:04, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
Thanks (in anticipation of your expert help or pointer to an expert) - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 01:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I changed it because they are in the wrong format, should be in International format not American. Same with all the date's across all the articles in the footy project. We really need a bot to fix this problem as it is a huge problem. Govvy ( talk) 21:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it took me a few minutes to figure out what streetmap was followed by my computer freezing up on Yahoo maps. Here is the location using 53.7404 -0.3362 and this is using 53.740556 -0.338333 (53 44 26N 000 20 18W) . What I did was put the 53.7404 -0.3362 into GoogleEarth and zoomed in. This showed the coordinates to the east of the ship on a building. I then tried it using several of the maps listed through the coordinates at the top of the page and all showed the ship. Here is a shot using Google Maps and 53.740556 -0.338333 (53 44 26N 000 20 18W) and this is the same but using 53.7404 -0.3362. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Keith. You tagged Navenby for this project today, and I wondered if you wanted to do the same for Skinnand as well. I haven't finished with this one. Its a work in progress.-- Myosotis Scorpioides 22:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
The album cover in question was allready on the Wikipedia database, I merely used a copy from the album ( London 0, Hull 4) page.

I think categories are coming; I'll check with User:The Anome, who indicated he was cooking such things up. thanks -- Tagishsimon (talk) 22:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Keith, I'm back from my jaunts.(Since retirement I have become taxi driver, baby sitter, shopper, nurse and even tractor driver - not to mention movement control in the egg production unit -- cleaning out the chicken shed !!!) I think maybe we ought to mention the work we did for the DVD and thank some of the editors who helped. Also, some of the members of WPYorks appear not to have contributed to Wikipedia for some time (years). Maybe we could find out who is active and on what and make a mention of them? The latest cleanup listing could feature? Any other ideas? -- Harkey ( talk) 16:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)

Oops wrong end of the Humber Bridge. I was thinking Barton was on the North Side. I've fixed cat & Banner. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 20:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Keith was there an article for Gilders (car dealers) recently that was speedy deleted i think, as I'ved added a list of biggest private companies from the Sunday Times and am looking for the missing companies in the list. There are quite a few local ones needed. Doncasters (Danial), Shepherd, Gilders , TC Harrison, GK Kenning, Simons, Vasanta (Kingfield Heath), Keepmoat etc from Top Track 100 & Top Track 250 (both incomplete yet) and but don't want to create basic stubs like has been done for FTSE companies. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 00:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Clearly English isn't your strong point, and you would rather grammatically incorrect sentences stayed in Wikipedia articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.253.219 ( talk) 18:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
What is the value of a Yorskshire wikiproject banner on an article already in the Sheffield wikiproject?
You could try the approach WikiProject Pennsylvania uses to bring WikiProject Philadelphia under its wing: a combined banner: {{ WikiProject Philadelphia}}

Maybe I did the db-merge request wrong, but my intentions were to request to have the article Fascination (Alphabeat single) moved to Fascination (Alphabeat song), along with the history for Fascination (Alphabeat single). Can you help me with this? Thank you. -- Wolfer68 ( talk) 23:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)

Can I pass this to you Keith, I ve had a message about the Ibox map on the Hollinsclough article, I've not had anything to do with the I boxes and maps yet (Need to add a few when I've don adding articles needing them to Derbyshire Project list):
Any chance you can work out why the red blob for locations of Hollinsclough and Longnor, Staffordshire are on Edinburgh in the insert instead of within the Satffordshire boundary of the main outline map? Infobox map system. I have checked and rechecked the grid refs and latitude / longitude refs. No trouble getting 3 shire head in the right place straight away.

Thanks (in anticipation of your expert help or pointer to an expert) - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 01:01, 16 October 2008 (UTC)
I changed it because they are in the wrong format, should be in International format not American. Same with all the date's across all the articles in the footy project. We really need a bot to fix this problem as it is a huge problem. Govvy ( talk) 21:03, 16 October 2008 (UTC)

Sorry it took me a few minutes to figure out what streetmap was followed by my computer freezing up on Yahoo maps. Here is the location using 53.7404 -0.3362 and this is using 53.740556 -0.338333 (53 44 26N 000 20 18W) . What I did was put the 53.7404 -0.3362 into GoogleEarth and zoomed in. This showed the coordinates to the east of the ship on a building. I then tried it using several of the maps listed through the coordinates at the top of the page and all showed the ship. Here is a shot using Google Maps and 53.740556 -0.338333 (53 44 26N 000 20 18W) and this is the same but using 53.7404 -0.3362. Cheers. CambridgeBayWeather Have a gorilla 22:28, 17 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Keith. You tagged Navenby for this project today, and I wondered if you wanted to do the same for Skinnand as well. I haven't finished with this one. Its a work in progress.-- Myosotis Scorpioides 22:13, 18 October 2008 (UTC)
The album cover in question was allready on the Wikipedia database, I merely used a copy from the album ( London 0, Hull 4) page.

I think categories are coming; I'll check with User:The Anome, who indicated he was cooking such things up. thanks -- Tagishsimon (talk) 22:08, 21 October 2008 (UTC)
Hi Keith, I'm back from my jaunts.(Since retirement I have become taxi driver, baby sitter, shopper, nurse and even tractor driver - not to mention movement control in the egg production unit -- cleaning out the chicken shed !!!) I think maybe we ought to mention the work we did for the DVD and thank some of the editors who helped. Also, some of the members of WPYorks appear not to have contributed to Wikipedia for some time (years). Maybe we could find out who is active and on what and make a mention of them? The latest cleanup listing could feature? Any other ideas? -- Harkey ( talk) 16:08, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
(reset indent)Hebden is a bit out of my area and I can't see much apart from adverts on Google. I'll have another look later.-- Harkey ( talk) 18:24, 26 October 2008 (UTC)
Oops wrong end of the Humber Bridge. I was thinking Barton was on the North Side. I've fixed cat & Banner. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 20:27, 22 October 2008 (UTC)
Keith was there an article for Gilders (car dealers) recently that was speedy deleted i think, as I'ved added a list of biggest private companies from the Sunday Times and am looking for the missing companies in the list. There are quite a few local ones needed. Doncasters (Danial), Shepherd, Gilders , TC Harrison, GK Kenning, Simons, Vasanta (Kingfield Heath), Keepmoat etc from Top Track 100 & Top Track 250 (both incomplete yet) and but don't want to create basic stubs like has been done for FTSE companies. - BulldozerD11 ( talk) 00:01, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
Clearly English isn't your strong point, and you would rather grammatically incorrect sentences stayed in Wikipedia articles. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.155.253.219 ( talk) 18:34, 23 October 2008 (UTC)
What is the value of a Yorskshire wikiproject banner on an article already in the Sheffield wikiproject?
You could try the approach WikiProject Pennsylvania uses to bring WikiProject Philadelphia under its wing: a combined banner: {{ WikiProject Philadelphia}}

Thanks for moving Wakanda. I bet you haven't moved a whole country before. ;-) -- GentlemanGhost ( talk) 23:24, 27 October 2008 (UTC)
Maybe I did the db-merge request wrong, but my intentions were to request to have the article Fascination (Alphabeat single) moved to Fascination (Alphabeat song), along with the history for Fascination (Alphabeat single). Can you help me with this? Thank you. -- Wolfer68 ( talk) 23:33, 30 October 2008 (UTC)
