Welcome to the one hundred and seventy seventh
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 18,260 last month to 18,293 on 2 January 2023). In the area of GAs
WP:YORKS at 211 is ahead of
WP:GM who have 93.
WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 90 while
WP:GM has 66 out of a total number of 4,836 articles.
Currently we have seventy 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.

Re Mark Reed Sculptor
Dear Colin,
Thank you so much for your advice with regards to uploading images onto a page ( Mark Reed -sculptor) that I had asked advice for. I am terribly sorry for the delay in getting back to you to thank you but unfortunately I succumbed to flu over the Easter weekend and feel so terrible that I didn't get back to you immediately. I am in awe of people like you who give so feely of their time .
I was stupidly unaware that my additions to the Mark Reed sculptor page were contravening COI rules on Wikipedia as the wife of the sculptor for 5 years now, I genuinely didn't want to advertise on the site and can completely see that my viewpoint could be skewed by my relationship with him in the last few years. He has many press, magazines and third party articles about him, particularly in relationship to his more recent work, where he made a wave sculpture in Norwich cathedral ( 2021) in conjunction with the Natural History Museum visit of Dippy on Tour about climate change visited by over 234,605 visitors and raised over £2,800 for Cathedral Charities.
Also a tree sculpture for the Queen Elizabeth Hospital NHS Trust Kings Lynn Garden of Life at the Macmillan Centre ther last year which he completed for a not even cost price of materials as this piece was of personal importance to him as his first child was born at the hospital and he lost his father to cancer there. Each leaf can be engraved thus is raising funds for the League of Friends and Macmillan. These were the two pieces that I wanted to add and scrap large parts of the previous article but having now edited for a considerable amount of time it is so difficult to learn from scratch again, especially as in this period ,so much seems to have changed.
I would be honoured and massively grateful if you would accept my apology for being rather naïve. I honestly did not mean to use Wikipedia as an advertising vehicle and didn't know ( stupidly) that I was doing anything wrong.
He has a wealth of news and magazine sources on these pieces in particular and I would be enormously grateful if you would consider editing the page , I realise that there is a huge amount that needs to be changed and would really love your advice as I don't want to contravene any Wikipedia guidelines. . Am I correct in saying that I put an edit request on the talk page and then if considered that this goes on an edit review?
I would relish your help and thank you once again for all your help and advice,
Many thanks

Hello, Hannahlucy. Please don't diminish yourself: Wikipedia is a huge beast, quite unlike anything else on the internet, and there is no shame in not understanding all its multifarious policies, nor does it make you stupid. Thank you for taking my instruction so gracefully.
The best thing to do is to put a series of edit requests on the talk page (I suggest using the
Edit Request Wizard, but read
WP:edit request#Planning a request first). I recommend splitting up what you want to change into a number of separate requests, for several reasons. Because they are separate, they will be less daunting to an editor than one big one, and so more likely to be picked up; and if some of them are problematic, less troublesome ones can still go through.
ColinFine (

I'm glad that this came up, because I hadn't come across your husband's work before, and now I'm interested in seeing some: I am a frequent visitor to the
Yorkshire Sculpture Park and
The Hepworth Wakefield. But I am inclined to agree with whoever it was that said that there were too many pictures in the article: though they might be OK if better collected into a gallery (see
WP:Image use policy#Image content and selection).

Dear Colin,
That is so kind of you and thank you so much for your help. I have had flu and still have brain fog and have only just worked out how to read your reply!!!!
I will do exactly what you say and split up the article and changes and I am very very grateful for your help!
Thanks so much for your advice, I am pulling my hair out on where I am going wrong in what is already written, please could you , if you have a moment advise where I should axe sections that sound like advertising, I realise the whole piece is far too long and I really want to include the new work. I'd be enormously grateful for your help!
Thanks so much for your advice, I have asked for this request:
This
edit request by an editor with a conflict of interest has now been answered.
What I think should be changed: In Paragraph 2 of Biography removal of the line "In 2002 Mark made Penshurst Dining Table for Fortnum & Mason, London" and the accompanying citation Elliot, Sue (November 2003). "Rich Pickings". Style Magazine: 20. Also removal of the image Sidney's oak tree table – bronze and glass
Why it should be changed:It should be removed as the sentence is not relevant and could be seen as advertising . Removal of the image Sidney's oak tree table – bronze and glass as there are already too many images on the page.
References supporting the possible change (format using the "cite" button):
on the Edit request Wizard as you have advised, and will wait and see, there is so much more that I need to edit I have realised but will be patient and follow your brilliant advice and do it in short sections!
