Welcome to the Yorkshire WikiProject.


We are a group of editors dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to Yorkshire, England, including the counties of North Yorkshire, West Yorkshire, South Yorkshire and the East Riding of Yorkshire and the cities of Kingston upon Hull, York, Sheffield, Leeds, Bradford, Wakefield, and Ripon.

Goal
  • The goal of this WikiProject is to provide coverage of subjects pertaining to Yorkshire by creating, assessing, improving upon and monitoring articles and lists about Yorkshire.
Scope
  • This project supports any pages related to the county of Yorkshire. We acknowledge the efforts and work of other projects, and will focus our attention on those articles which do not fall within the scope of any other active regional project.
Shortcuts:
WP:Yorks
WP:YORKS
WP:YORK
