vital and other core articles on Wikipedia.
Hello there! Interested in having a chat with fellow Wikipedians? There's a meetup in Leeds on Saturday 4th May 2024, at the
Tiled Hall Café at Leeds Central Library.
You're receiving this one-off message as you're either a member of
WikiProject Yorkshire, you've expressed an interest in a
previous Leeds meetup years ago, or (for about 4 of you), we've met :)
I plan to organise more in future, so if you'd like to be notified next time, please say so over on the
meetup page.
Please also invite any Wikimedia people you know (or have had wiki dealings with) – spread the word! Hope to see you there.
Welcome to the one hundred and ninty second
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 19,208 last month to 19,275 on 8 April 2024). In the area of GAs
WP:YORKS at 221 is ahead of
WP:GM who have 90.
WP:YORKS also has the lead in FAs at 93 while
WP:GM has 65 out of a total number of 5,047 articles.
Currently we have seventy six 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.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The April 2024 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on 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.

Range block on corporate web gateway software
Hi,
There is now a block that appears to be a recent addition, on the address range 161.69.0.0/16, that affects even non-anonymous editors. Not sure why I haven't encountered it until today, as the culprit seems to be our company's use of McAfee Web Gateway Cloud Service, which has been deployed for quite awhile, and cannot be turned off by end users on their systems.
Since I use all my "good" computers for work-from-home, I am required to have the software installed on those computers, and again: can't be turned off. So if choose to edit (off the company clock, I hasten to add), I now have to resort to my broken-down, tiny-screened, 5-minute-battery life laptop that does not have WGCS installed.
Yes, this is the classic definition of a first-world problem. But still.
Is there any way to have this ban not affect logged-in users? I'm also curious if this only affects my company (AMD), or if it's endemic to any company deploying WGCS. Regards,

@
NapoliRoma. I understand. I’ve amended the block to enable logged in users to edit.
