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 Christmas
A Happy Christmas to all members of the project and a big thank you for all the hard work on Yorkshire related articles during the year.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The December 2017 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no further suggestions from 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.

Census statistics
References to the Office for National Statistics census data used in a large number of articles are all now dead. The University of Durham have produced a replacement website, Nomis, that gives access to the 2011 census data. Template {{NOMIS2011}} has been created to enable this to be used in articles rather than use the URL directly as this could change and allow it to be modified centrally. There is no direct correlation between the old and new URLs so a BOT cannot be used to switch from one to the other. See the template documentation for further details of usage. It would be good if members could change articles over to use the new method of access for the 2011 census and check that the data is correct at the same time.
