Interstellarity (talk) is wishing you Happy Holidays! This greeting (and season) promotes WikiLove and hopefully this note has made your day a little better. Spread the WikiLove by wishing another user Happy Holidays, whether it be someone you have had disagreements with in the past, a good friend, or just some random person. Happy New Year!
Spread the cheer by adding {{subst:Happy holidays}} to their talk page with a friendly message.
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.
Happy New Year
It is time to wish all members of the project a Happy New Year and many thanks for all of the work done on articles relating to Yorkshire over the past year.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The January 2025 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.
Thanks

Advising a user who is looking for an editor for pay
Latest comment: 28 days ago1 comment1 person in discussion
Hi ColinFine, hope you don't mind me contacting you. I've come across an editor, The purpose driven wife, who wants to find paid help with what looks like an article about a family member. I've warned against this, but the editor is not convinced. Would you be able to reiterate that this is unwise to them? I have already requested that Oversight have a look at the changes they've made directly to R. C. Sproul Jr. Thanks - I didn't want to post this at the Teahouse as I thought they might then get contacted directly by scammers, and I saw that you had recently warned another user there. Best wishes, Tacyarg (talk) 12:44, 10 January 2025 (UTC)Reply
Who is edit warring? Where in the Teahouse? Are you involved? And why are you posting on my User talk page? You should discuss it with the parties, and if they won't stop, WP:EWN is the place to report it. ColinFine (talk) 22:33, 19 January 2025 (UTC)Reply

Article activity
Thanks to all members for the great start to the year with the number of articles that have been nominated or promoted to Good Article or Featured Article status during the month. It was also great that the couple of articles that were nominated for a Good Article Review were retained after work was done on them. Keep up the good work.
