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 11,836 last month to 11,889 on June 1st). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 115 is ahead of WP:GM who have 83. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 59 out of a total number of 3,502 articles.
Currently we have thirty 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.

Hi Rebekah-Ann. Unfortunately I don't really have much time for Wikipedia right now, but I'm sure if you ask other people on the adoption page will be able to help you. --GilderienTalk|List of good deeds23:13, 10 July 2015 (UTC)
Hi, I see you just loaded Prep 2. There's a July 14 entry in the Special Occasions Holding Area which should be placed here. Yoninah (talk) 20:53, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
No, I made that mistake two days ago. The preps run for 12 hours, so we go by the UTC time of 12 midnight. Viewers in the earlier time zones will see it partially on July 14. Putting it in Prep 3 will mean that most time zones will see it mostly on July 15.
I've shuffled a couple round, and put the hook in prep area 2. I skipped prep 1 because I hate edit conflicts in the prep areas (because it makes all my edit summaries wrong) so I guessed that that one was the one most likely to be being worked on.--GilderienConverse|List of good deeds21:21, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
Oh, dear. I just clicked on the special occasion request, Godavari Pushkaram, and it is a mess. Do you know you have to read through the articles again and check them for copyvios before you promote them to prep? That's why it's taking me so long to load Prep 6; I'm still working on it. Godavari Pushkaram is a mess, English grammarwise, and it needs a translation/explanation for that term "Mara Pushkaram" which appears in the hook. Do you want to pull it, or should I? Yoninah (talk) 21:36, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
I know about the second pair of eyes, but I wasn't aware another copyvio check was involved. Since this was being held, I assumed it was ok and forgot to look at it though. I'll pull it.--GilderienBerate|List of good deeds21:52, 11 July 2015 (UTC)
