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 13,234 last month to 13,279 on 29th April). In the area of GAs WP:YORKS at 139 is ahead of WP:GM who have 85. WP:GM has the lead in FAs at 62 out of a total number of 3,826 articles.
Currently we have forty five 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.
Snap general election
In addition to the usual local elections,
with the calling of a snap general election there will be a lot of changes required to articles over the coming couple of months to update the candidates and results for these in articles. There may be a set of new articles required for new MPs elected this time.
We also need to keep an eye out for any bias in articles about those standing for the election and to keep strict ballot paper order for the election results tables in the constituency articles before the results are know. We all have our views on this but we must remain as neutral as possible.

I saw your change that - I think - doesn't go far enough. Roman Catholic Church simply redirects, so is no improvement, rather the opposite, - how about a pipe link saying Church of Rome? - Many articles would profit. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 12:49, 9 July 2017 (UTC)[reply]
I agree with what you say, and I'd like to do that, but if challenged I would need a precise citation and I can't find one. Encyclopaedia Britannica gives various historical names for it, starting with the Church at Rome. Do you have a more precise citation for the 13th century in the UK or Europe?
