Celebrations
Celebrations are in order this month as we reach a milestone in the project with 100 editions of the newsletter. It was way back in May 2008 when we introduced the monthly newsletter to project members and I hope that it is still useful to keep members informed of things that are going on in the project. Sometimes you wonder if there is any activity going on and what is happening to the articles in the scope of the project but slowly things are progressing. In May 2008 we only had 3,343 articles to look after, but today that is 12,795. Membership was 45 but is now 82, even though we had a cull of members who were no longer active during that period. Of our identified 15 top-level importance articles, 1 has been promoted to FA-class, 3 have been promoted to GA-class, 1 to B-class, 1 to C-class, while 1 has been demoted to GA-class and another to C-class, note that C-class did not exist in May 2008. We now have 40 FA-class articles and 16 FL-class lists compared to 9 FA-class articles and 7 FL-class lists in May 2008.
Congratulations to all who have helped along the way and be inspired to move things forward over the coming months.

reads like a list of awards. For a true biographical entry, this article really needs to be expanded with personal information, such as date and place of birth, education, and upbringing.

Hi. You may be interested in participating in the African Destubathon which starts on October 15. Africa currently has over 37,000 stubs and badly needs a quality improvement editathon/contest to flesh out basic stubs. There are proposed substantial prizes to give to editors who do the most articles, and planned smaller prizes for doing to most destubs for each of the 53 African countries, so should be enjoyable! So it would be a good chance to win something for improving stubs on African sportspeople, including footballers, athletes, Olympians and Paralympians etc, particularly female ones, but also male. Even if contests aren't your thing we would be grateful if you could consider destubbing a few African articles during the drive to help the cause and help reduce the massive 37,000 + stub count, of which many are rated high importance (think Regions of countries etc). If you're interested in competing or just loosely contributing a few expanded articles on African Paralympians, Olympians and committees etc, please add your name to the Contestants/participants section. Diversity of work from a lot of people will make this that bit more special. Thanks. --MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 21:14, 6 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Wish I could join, but since I am blocked, I wont be able to do it. :(--Mishae (talk) 02:23, 7 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]
Hello, Mishae. Voting in the 2016 Arbitration Committee elections is open from Monday, 00:00, 21 November through Sunday, 23:59, 4 December to all unblocked users who have registered an account before Wednesday, 00:00, 28 October 2016 and have made at least 150 mainspace edits before Sunday, 00:00, 1 November 2016.
The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to impose binding solutions to disputes between editors, primarily for serious conduct disputes the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the authority to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail.
Since the previous unblock request was declined due to a block evasion but it was mentioned that I can apply for another one no earlier then January 18 (which is today), I have a faith that community will be generous to grant it because I followed all the rules while being blocked here.
This user's unblock request has been reviewed by an administrator, who declined the request. Other administrators may also review this block, but should not override the decision without good reason (see the blocking policy).
I thoroughly analyzed that my behavior was despicable toward the whole community. I'm planning on writing and edit articles (not their talkpages). I know that I also lied to many of you and it was a stupid decision by me to trick all of you. I will not repeat those mistakes (please see a list bellow of what I will do differently). I'm asking for a 3rd time this wonderful community to let me join. I promise that I wont talk back to the admins and I will head the warnings. In fact, before I was blocked I learned when and when not to use WP:IAR, so you can see that I am improving. I also know that I shouldn't bother you with constant unblock requests, so that way a community can come to a consensus. While I admit that I did block evasion 6 months ago, it was only meant to show my competence. Now I spent another 6 months without a single block evasion which proves that I can and will follow the rules of this project.--Mishae (talk) 20:05, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Decline reason:
Procedural decline only. This unblock request was insufficiently convincing such that no admin was inclined to respond in a month. You are welcome to make another unblock request. Yamla (talk) 13:48, 21 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
If you want to make any further unblock requests, please read the guide to appealing blocks first, then use the {{unblock}} template again. If you make too many unconvincing or disruptive unblock requests, you may be prevented from editing this page until your block has expired. Do not remove this unblock review while you are blocked.
Since somebody told me, I should write it in detail, here:
I was not myself when I started to be disruptive after unblock (I was in process of breaking up with my girlfriend, and I got stressed). I should have took another month off but it came so sudden (adding to it college and all). Due to this suddenness I was so angry that I started to racially insult other editors without thinking about the rules (which is not very common with me). As for my sockpuppet accusations, I admit my wrong here too and it was not nice of me to do it because it too was in violation of our policies.
All of the actions that I did above were wrong because they all were in gross violation of our rules and guidelines, such as WP:Disruptive editing, WP:NPA, suckpuppetry and block evasion.
As for what I will do differently, I already moved couple of steps. Back when I was first blocked in April, I promised @Writ Keeper: not to use WP:IAR and I kept my word. After this block will expire, I will only do constructive edits because after a 2 year block I understood that such behavior was wrong, and if it will happen again, the ArbCom will be the next step. As for racial remarks, I will keep my mouth shut and will remain civil no matter what will happen. So, if admins will be generous to give me another chance, I will greatly improve myself and the community.--Mishae (talk) 20:05, 18 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Salvidrim!: Pinging most recently involved admin (in user's block log) to provide thoughts on the discussion/unblock request. --JustBerry (talk) 04:48, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
The last log entry was simply the second reactivation of TPA to allow appealing. I have no comment on the appeal itself, and the user's relentless attempts to get me to unblock them about a year ago led me to block them on Skype, so I don't particularly wish to get involved again. Best of luck to the appellant and the responders. ☺ · Salvidrim! · ✉ 04:52, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]
It's Salvidrim!'s decision weather to get involved or not (and I wont push), but I should mention that he never blocked me on Skype, just warned me that he might do so.--Mishae (talk) 06:35, 19 January 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Mishae, my suggestions to you were just that, suggestions. They're opinions gained from reading multitudes of block requests over the years. Even if you follow them to the letter it will still be up to the reviewing admin whether you will be unblocked or not. As it stands, many admins have reviewed your requests and declines to block. You have a couple of options left.
Ask ArbCom to look into your unblock request
ask that your unblock be reviewed by the community at WP:AN.
Accept that your indefinite block will stand for now and try again some time later in the year.
(Patrolling admins please feel free to indicate whether my options above are viable). Blackmane (talk) 21:27, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackmane: Well, I sent some users an e-mail but I can't post anything at WP:AN because the system doesn't let me. Should I try to ask anonymously then? It will be in violation of a sockpuppet policy but I don't see other options. So far I will patiently wait for the ArbCom response (if any will follow). Waiting another year to be unblocked, for what? Because admins are busy with username changes and don't care about editors which are trying for a zillion time?--Mishae (talk) 21:53, 23 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
One option is to use the {{helpme}} template to ask an admin to post your appeal to WP:AN. You must not evade your block to post. Alternatively, you can frame your appeal here on your talk page and ping me to post it to WP:AN on your behalf. However, I would remain neutral in the ensuing discussion. Blackmane (talk) 00:57, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackmane: OK. Copy and paste the whole appeal before my comments to Yamla to WP:AN.--Mishae (talk) 01:01, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Done I've also pinged all the admins and users who have commented on your talk page. The rest is up to the community to decide. Blackmane (talk) 01:40, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackmane: Am a bit worried about you pinging Softlavender, she might create a fuss over my unblock.--Mishae (talk) 01:59, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
To be impartial, I pinged everybody that had posted to your talk page after you were first blocked. Not doing so would be attempting to bias the discussion. Blackmane (talk) 03:18, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackmane: To be honest, Not doing so would be attempting to bias the discussion, not at all. Not pinging some editors that came to my talkpage just to cause hysteria and seeking favoritism from other admins wont make it biased, but that's my opinion. It will save me (and possibly you) some nerves as well.--Mishae (talk) 04:09, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackmane: Can you please correct Softlavender on personal attacks and falsehoods. I personally deny them and view her comment as bias.--Mishae (talk) 04:46, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mishae, this is going to be a community decision. Whether you like it or not, Softlavender is part of that community. Kudpung กุดผึ้ง (talk) 03:37, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Kudpung: And according to you I am not a part of this community? She is part of it because she is free and can do whatever she wants and I am blocked and need to keep my mouth shut! As long as she will continue to harass me, I will object to pinging her (at least on my talkpage). After she said lies and deceptions toward me, she didn't have sources to back those comments, but the tone was a harassing one from my view. So, please Kudpung, do not ping her here either. Thank you!--Mishae (talk) 04:09, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mishae, your entire talk-page history contains the "sources to back those comments". You're just digging yourself in deeper, you realize? I was not going to oppose your unblock or even opine at all, but since you've now proven that you cannot disagree with someone without engaging in falsehoods and personal attacks, and that you revert to this behavior under the least bit of pressure, I will indeed oppose it now. Softlavender (talk) 04:19, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Softlavender: So first you harassed me throughout the whole block and now you will oppose my block just because you got insulted by my harassment allegations, really? The way how you sounding now is threatening to my unblock request. There are no falsehoods and personal attacks from my part. How would I talk about you without mentioning your name? Can you stop harassing and threatening me, please? What will make you to change your mind? I will encourage you to change it from oppose to neutral, just because I can't get along with one editor doesn't mean that I can't deal with others.--Mishae (talk) 04:50, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Softlavender: And please stop talking as if you are the only one in the community. I'm referring to your comment The community just does not have the manpower to babysit one editor's behavioral liabilities.--Mishae (talk) 04:43, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Mishae, I suggest you strike your question concerning Softlavender's real name. That can be construed as a violation of WP:OUTING. If you were not already indefinitely blocked, an admin would almost certainly indefinitely block you for that. Blackmane (talk) 04:45, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Blackmane: I deleted it, but I used to ask people here for e-mail and it was fine.--Mishae (talk) 04:50, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Well if folks are in support of the ban will you at least removed all the red links from my user page?--Mishae (talk) 06:13, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Do you understand @Softlavender: that I want to write articles, not just fiddle with species? And where did you got free websites from? I thought you need to pay for domain?--Mishae (talk) 07:44, 24 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]
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 13,185 last month to 13,234 on 28th March). 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 3,792 articles.
Currently we have forty four 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.
Place list
This month I would like members to focus their attention on the List of places in Yorkshire article. It would be good that each time you look at an article on a place in Yorkshire that you also check if it is in the list article. You can easily get to the list article from a place article if it uses the {{Infobox UK place}} template as there is a link at the bottom of the template. If it is not present then add the appropriate link to the list.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The April 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.

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.
