Unreliable sources
Just a note about sources which have been decided are unreliable and should no longer be used on Wikipedia. The latest one is the Daily Mail and this is been removed at the moment. If this is used on any of the projects articles then please remove it and replace with a more reliable source. If another source cannot be found then the reference and the text it supports should be removed from the article or if you think that the information is important the text should be tagged as {{citation needed}}.

Happy Christmas
It is time to wish all members of the project a Happy Christmas. Though it will be a very different one this year because of the restrictions placed on us by the government because of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Though there will be some relaxation of the rules for a 5-day period over the Christmas period it will not allow much of the usual festivities to take place. Hopefully the vaccination will be available early next year for the country to get back to some sort of normality.

Happy New Year
It is time to wish all members of the project a Happy New Year. Hopefully with the availability of a couple of vaccines things should start to get back to normality soon. The last year has seen 35 of the project's articles promoted to GA, while 9 have been promoted to FA and a list has been promoted to FL. Many thanks to all those members who have been put in the hard work to get these articles to a higher status.

Delay
Sorry for the delay in publishing this month's newsletter, but I have been out of action without a PC for about 3 weeks. Managed to get it fixed after lockdown eased on 12 April.

Congratulations! You have one of the 100 longest user talk pages on the English Wikipedia!
This page is showing up as one of the 100 longest user talk pages on Wikipedia (currently 934,309 bytes). I'm adding an archiver template so that it doesn't cause issues when people try to load it. This will make Lowercase sigmabot III fix it automatically. Cheers! jp×g🗯️ 01:22, 16 January 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Leeds Wikipedia meetup on Saturday 4th May
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.
