Welcome to the one hundredth and thirty eighth
WikiProject Yorkshire monthly newsletter.
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 14,992 last month to 15,070 on 30 September 2019). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 155 is ahead of
WP:GM who have 87.
WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 68 out of a total number of 4,419 articles.
Currently we have fifty Yorkshire featured articles:
As of 28 September 2019, we have assessed 100% of all articles with a project banner.
(Some new and additional article talk pages may still require a banner however)
Thanks
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...
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.

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.

Following
a discussion, a new criterion for speedy category renaming was added:
C2F: One eponymous article, which applies if the category contains only an eponymous article or media file, provided that the category has not otherwise been emptied shortly before the nomination. The default outcome is an upmerge to the parent categories.
Technical news
As
previously noted, tighter
password requirements for Administrators were put in place last year. Wikipedia should now alert you if your password is less than 10 characters long and thus too short.
Thank you for helping out at the University of Leeds event, I hope you found it as much fun as I did!

General Election
With the calling of a General Election will members keep an eye on the various Parliament constituency articles. Please check that the candidates are appropriately referenced and that they appear in alphabetical order by surname so that we do not show any bias to a particular party. It is also worth checking the settlement articles to see if they have the correct constituency shown.
There will also be all of the candidate articles to check to see if they have the appropriate term end details and text to show if they are standing or not at the election.

I noticed you have tagged my page for Llannerch for deletion. I have just checked around for reliable sources and have found one which proves the area is classed as a village.

<remove the part I can read by following the link>
So this which handles postcodes confirms the area in and around Llannerch Park and Hall as a village. The following source also confirms this:
https://www.doogal.co.uk/ShowMap.php?postcode=LL17%200BD and
https://checkmypostcode.uk/ll170bd confirm the status of village. So I will be adding these in on the page and the deletion article page. If they say village, and are post codes. They then confirm it. Plus 70 people live around the park. Almost a hamlet population.

Google Code-In 2019 is coming - please mentor some documentation tasks!
Hello,
Google Code-In, Google-organized contest in which the Wikimedia Foundation participates, starts in a few weeks. This contest is about taking high school students into the world of opensource. I'm sending you this message because you recently edited a documentation page at the English Wikipedia.
I would like to ask you to take part in Google Code-In as a mentor. That would mean to prepare at least one task (it can be documentation related, or something else - the other categories are Code, Design, Quality Assurance and Outreach) for the participants, and help the student to complete it. Please sign up at
the contest page and send us your Google account address to google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org, so we can invite you in!
From my own experience, Google Code-In can be fun, you can make several new friends, attract new people to your wiki and make them part of your community.
If you have any questions, please let us know at google-code-in-admins@lists.wikimedia.org.
I'm a bit rusty coming back from a long (much needed) absence, so you may have this right and I may be off the mark... but, as an admin (who is simply refraining from requesting for the admin flag back for a while) and current OTRS member, I thought that any instance of copyrighted material being used in violation of the NFCCP and in violation of the content's licensing, was considered blatant copyright violations. This is the same reasoning I used for the revdel request you fulfilled without issue at
Carlos Ghosn, I just used slightly different wording in the edit summaries for the tags. Am I missing something? —

@

This one I'm not sure is as clear cut and some people may wish to pursue the line that the quote is the best way to make the point and that it does meet NFCCP#1. If there's a consensus that the quote doesn't meet NFCCP#1 then it's open to reconsideration whether to revdel or not.

Nthep (

It looks like the only consensus there will be limited but at least so far unanimous... obviously you can wait until later today as pre-discussed to make any move (if you feel that necessary), I just wanted to give you a heads up that I found and changed/removed
additional copyvios that are quite clearly even more blatant violations than I first found. After a search with WikiBlame it appears the edits were added
here. I'll go ahead and ping
GoldbergHistory (
talk·contribs), the editor who added the copyvio, so that they're aware of the issue here as well (not to be mean, I just want them to be aware of why such quoting without attribution at all is not acceptable per
WP:COPYVIO). Would you like me to poll the talk page on this one too, or do you think these violations were bad enough to just warrant automatic revdel in this case? (I would have just used the revdel template at the page but I didn't want you to think I was forum-shopping or disrespecting your authority here in any way, as these much older copyvios technically would cause all of the edits I previously requested to be removed via revdel too.) —

@
Coffee: thanks for the update. This article is looking more and more like a deep hole of copyvios :-( See what GoldberHistory has to say and we'll take it from there. Thanks for the consideration too, I appreciate that but I wouldn't have seen it as forum-shopping or disrepect had you tagged it again without telling me first.
Nthep (

Unfortunately that may be true. All I can do at this point is take them as I find them. I've sent an email to GoldbergHistory requesting they come comment here, but seeing as they don't seem to be a very active editor (12 edits since 2017) I have no idea how long that might take. —

Rationale use for specific logo
Hello, about your reversion of
my edit on
2019 RFL League 1, I'd like you let me know why the
Betfred League logo is used on a single season article instead of being on the
League main page. My question comes from the fact that it is the logo of the league, not the emblem of an individual season.
Thanks in advance, -
Fma12 (
talk) 19:11, 3 January 2020 (UTC)
@
Fma12: you can put the logo on whichever article you think is best - I would point out that Betfred have not been the only sponsor of League 1, they are just the current one - however you removed one of the logos current uses but deleted both fair use rationales and didn't add a rationale for use on
League 1 (rugby league). If you're going to do it please finish the job and not leave it half done with a logo hanging around without a rationale and/or use.

WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 2019 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.

Rationale use for specific logo
Hello, about your reversion of
my edit on
2019 RFL League 1, I'd like you let me know why the
Betfred League logo is used on a single season article instead of being on the
League main page. My question comes from the fact that it is the logo of the league, not the emblem of an individual season.
Thanks in advance, -

@
Fma12: you can put the logo on whichever article you think is best - I would point out that Betfred have not been the only sponsor of League 1, they are just the current one - however you removed one of the logos current uses but deleted both fair use rationales and didn't add a rationale for use on
League 1 (rugby league). If you're going to do it please finish the job and not leave it half done with a logo hanging around without a rationale and/or use.
