Aims After discussion at Wikipedia 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.
