Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Yorkshire/Archive 8Immigration into LeedsAn IP has commented at Talk:History of Leeds on the fact that immigration isn't mentioned, and with the rich culture of carnival, synagogues, Irish club, etc it does seem surprising that we don't seem to have anything about the centuries of immigration into Leeds. There are plenty of WP:RS though perhaps mostly print rather than online: looking at the Thoresby Society Index under "I" for Irish showed another publication about Italians in Leeds, just as a sample. I'm away from my Leeds bookshelf at the moment but I'm sure there's scope to add a section, or a new article, or a historical expansion to Demography of Leeds. (If, on the other hand, this information is already in the encyclopedia, then it needs more links to make it visible - nothing in the "Leeds" template suggests where to find it, and History of Leeds could use a short section with a {{main}} link.)

The Great Britain/Ireland DestubathonHi. The Wikipedia:The Great Britain/Ireland Destubathon is planned for March 2020, a contest/editathon to eliminate as many stubs as possible from all 134 counties. Amazon vouchers/book prizes are planned for most articles destubbed from England, Wales, Scotland and Ireland and Northern Ireland and whoever destubs articles from the most counties out of the 134. Sign up on page if interested in participating, hope this will prove to be good fun and productive, we have over 44,000 stubs!♦ Dr. Blofeld 18:31, 4 February 2020 (UTC) Collaborations of the month March 2020

The sources I’ve already referenced contain a lot more information and if other editors read these they'll probably find things worth adding that I’ve missed (particularly to do with the architecture as I'm not great with the terminology and technical stuff), also they may be able to make improvements relating to grammar and Manual of Style guidelines.

Notable People (Richmond, North Yorkshire)Hi there, coming out of retirement trying to tackle this article as it's my hometown, going to make an attempt to bring it up to at least a "C" class using the WP:UKGEO settlement guidelines, so I may ask for help on more than one occasion. Firstly, the list of notable people seems quite messy and exhaustive here when compared to somewhere larger like Northallerton? I'm not sure where the guidelines sit really, if they have a Wikipedia article of their own, do they warrant making it onto a list of people from the town, or do we select the most notable few? Your help and guidance would be much appreciated, take care all. Cacolantern 07:21, 21 May 2020 (UTC)

Richmond, North Yorkshire ReviewHello again! I think I've got as far as I'm going to get in the meantime with the Richmond article, the history section has barely been touched by myself as I'm struggling to find any 20th century events, but if anyone else fancies a go then of course, go ahead! Notable people looks great, but I didn't want to do anything drastic like split it until we had a clear consensus! I'd appreciate an independent mind to review and re-classify the article now if that's okay? Hpefully it's climed out of "start" class. I will continue working on it when I gather more notable information and reliable sources. Many thanks for the help. Cacolantern 16:43, 23 May 2020 (UTC)

Hi Yorkshire folks It would be appreciated if anyone with spare time could cast their eye over at Wikipedia:Peer review/Leeds Town Hall/archive1, where a PR is underway which will hopefully lead the way towards a successful FAC for Leeds Town Hall.

And today when visiting the page to find out what the post town of Bolton Abbey was (the answer is Skipton by the way), I noticed there was a separate stub article for Bolton Abbey (village). Apparently Bolton Abbey (village) is smaller than Bolton Abbey the estate, but there doesn't seem to be anything explaining what the boundaries of either of them are, or any maps showing the boundaries of each. Can Bolton Abbey be renamed to Bolton Abbey Estate? And can some info and maps be added to each article explaining the boundaries?

Weekly clean-up listingHello all; the Tuesday run of the cleanupworklistbot has generated an extra 62 articles this week with the tags of Harv and SFN no-target errors. I did see this sometime last year when a test was run to see what it was like and it threw up lots of issues. I think the problem lies when either some has written a cite starting with {{sfn|...|...|...}} and then not had a link in the ref section (such as at West Tanfield, where it displays the Patent Rolls with an SFN citation, but nothing in the sources or bibliography), or, when a source has more than one author and needs it ref parameter changed from |ref=harv}} to show |ref= {{harvid|author1 surname|author2 surname|year}} }}. Is this correct, or am I just muddying the waters. Thanks and regards. PS - 26% of the articles linked to Yorkshire have some sort of problem that needs attention, if we muck in, we can sort a lot of them! Thanks. The joy of all things (talk) 18:38, 23 June 2020 (UTC)

Eyes on requestedFor the last few weeks I have been trying to assist a determined Paid CoI who registered two days before a net 5,300 byte change (with a sizeable deletion of sourced prose) to an article based on a business, Manor Property Group. At my request, a CoI declaration was made, confirming that the business had contracted Chelgate Local, a subsidiary of Chelgate to "to ensure the factual accuracy of its Wikipedia entry", "review the current entry, fact check and correct any factual errors", and "to add new content to create a comprehensive entry and include more up to date information on the organisation and its projects." After considerable Talk discussion, this new editor has submitted a revised proposed change at Talk:Manor Property Group#Draft under two new subheadings. As I am the only contributor to Talk, I am requesting comments to form a consensus, and also to avoid any suggestions of WP:OWNership on my part. Until seeing this CoI contribution, I had only edited a caption, and this is my first experience of a paid contributor. One aspect includes the development of a free App for Android and iOS; I have no experience of such software hence unable to conclude if this constitutes WP:SPAM. Thank you.--Rocknrollmancer (talk) 21:56, 20 May 2021 (UTC) Collaborations of the month June 2021

I also removed Joseph Priestley from Batley, twice, as he was born in Birstall but the same editor has removed the notice that said only people born in Batley should be added and re-added JP as he went to school there. I always assumed Wikipedia uses modern boundaries? Is Batley so devoid of history that the article needs to adopt people and places from the surrounding area?

User script to detect unreliable sourcesI have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like
and turns it into something like
It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{cite web}}, {{cite journal}} and {{doi}}. The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed. Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable.

Wikidata queries to identify potential articlesHello, I’ve joined this group as a denizen of Yorkshire trying to improve my Wikimedia skills. Using the Wikidata query service I’ve run a few queries to list various Yorkshire entities and corresponding Wikipedia URLs where they exist. Not sure how useful people will find it, but here they are: Rivers: https://w.wiki/6BNb Castles: https://w.wiki/6BNZ Churches: https://w.wiki/6BNg Lakes: https://w.wiki/6BNr Market towns: https://w.wiki/6BNe N.B. Results are only as good as the data in Wikidata. For instance, there are limited results for ‘Market towns’ because the records lack the relevant property, which I’ll start adding (Edit: thanks to @Tagishsimon: who used Petscan to identify market towns and batch add the relevant property.)

Keighley College: photo (and article) neededThis needs an article, given that its history goes back to the Mechanics Institute of 1825 and that it seems now to be once more branded as a stand-alone college, rather than a "campus" of Park Lane College and then Leeds City College. Could someone local please take a photo showing the current branding, which seems to have happened in 2017 - see https://keighleycollege.ac.uk/keighley-college-back/ - rather than this "Keighley Campus" image. I might have a go at putting an article together (I'm amazed there wasn't even a redirect to one of the past parent colleges, can't think how I missed that when doing some work on Park Lane myself a while back, but I can't see any history of any previous page or redirect), but someone with current local knowledge could probably do it better.

Proposed county infobox template changeA discussion is ongoing at Template talk:Infobox English county#Proposal: remove the ethnicity section which is likely of interest to this project. The original proposal is for straight removal of the ethnicity field from the template; the population field would remain. This and a modified proposal would have the same effect on Yorkshire. A result of the change, if consented to, is the restriction of demographics, other than population to the local authority administrative sections of the county infoboxes. It has no effect on editors placing reliably sourced statistics in the body of the article. 𝕁𝕄𝔽 (talk) 16:12, 15 December 2023 (UTC) |
