WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The October 2025 articles selected below are an editor choice as there were no nominations on the project talk page.
The project is subscribed to aclean-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, usually on a Tuesday.
Monitoring is essential Use thewatchlist 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.

quite rosy ;) - thank you! -Jean Bonhomme pic? tenor on the main page, not by me, with a DYK hook that claims he was an international opera star, - by what definition I wonder. But still on vacation, so will let it go. --Gerda Arendt (talk)09:16, 4 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Kennedy done. Yes, I preferred the top/colour one, but her eyes are almost closed, so it is not a complete ID pic. But the younger one is lovely too, so no problem.Storye book (talk)12:02, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Due to current broadband issues, I am having trouble resolving the tag onFile:Jean Bonhomme (1a).jpg. We need either a proper source for the image, or a different image. Do you know anyone who can help with this? I shall keep trying, but am liable to fail due to severely limited access to the internet. I expect (or hope) to finally have full broadband access next week. Thanks.Storye book (talk)12:27, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Good luck, take your time, - he's off the main page. I didn't see much choice for other pics. Still expanding the "rosy" one. I saw him as the Offenbach villains, and probably in Rienzi, but less sure. Köhler dug up unusual repertoire. --Gerda Arendt (talk)14:36, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
About the rosy one:today I remember a singer who impressed me on stage. - You are invited toa peer review after FAC, - perhaps just look at the four open questions, and if you have almost no time, just at the source question (#3). In a poll below, you could simply mark yes or no. It's an experiment. The piece has its 300th anniversary on Christmas Day, and should be as good as possible by then. --Gerda Arendt (talk)16:41, 6 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Thanks. I had a quick look at the peer review, and if I get enough broadband time, I'll take another look. Meanwhile I must first check my watchlists for today, to deal with anything urgent - if I get broadband time.Storye book (talk)09:32, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Fine. -Armand Avril pic?like this? - My story today is about a friend who would have turned 110. His son (my conductor) wanted me to enter his death to Wikipedia, - my first such thing. You can watch us singing from Brahms Requiem. Once our concert (different piece, forgot what) was the day before his birthday, and at the reception they wanted to wait until midnight to sing him a round, but - seeing how tired he and his wife were already - I rescued them by saying that elsewhere in the world it was already his bday ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk)11:03, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
(Edit conflict). I have managed to add below the peer review, a paragraph from Bacharach, which is notable for its out-of-date attitude to the piece, which in itself is all part of the story. Bach went out of fashion after he died, came back into fashion, and then politics happened in the 20th century. I was instructed to read that book by Bacharach when at age 16 I took my GCE course in music (with no access to a piano, and little experience in writing and reading music). I had to learn to hear a score, and compose in four parts, in my head. I passed the exam, but was the teacher pleased? No. She was angry with me for being different from the other kids, who all had Grade 8 piano, and she banned me from taking the A-level exam. Sigh.Storye book (talk)11:07, 7 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, Sister Stan was a Kerryman, and you can tell. The interviewer has a strong Dublin accent (like Bob Geldof) - quite different. She spoke quite clearly for a Kerryman - I suppose she had to. I used to have a neighbour who was a Kerryman, and it was difficult to understand him. She was a great beauty when young, wasn't she - similar to Jacqueline Kennedy, don't you think?Storye book (talk)11:05, 9 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Yess to all! We should make that article a bit longer (per the interview perhaps) to be ready for DYK. I tried last night but got too tired ... - Just saw on watchllst thatKurt Horres has no pic yet. Perhaps there was no one, - sorry for not remembering. --Gerda Arendt (talk)09:50, 10 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
I preferred the other, but well. I put the heavy-make-up one inmy story. - She sang the role at the house one time ;) - How do you like the video? Alongside the husband of another singer of the same role about whom we wrote earlier. --Gerda Arendt (talk)14:07, 18 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
If you have little time, catch a glimpse in the Walküre video from today's story. - I have little time, catching up after travels at many ends, so I don't see time to search for sources for the opera-musical writer for whom I have little interest, sorry. Schott has many decent biographies which I used successfully but this one is sadly not among them. -Gertrude Degenhardt pic? --Gerda Arendt (talk)09:52, 21 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Schuke done. I have changed "organ" to "pipe organ" in the article, because although "organ" in that context always means a pipe organ in British English, US readers appear to need "pipe organ".Storye book (talk)11:02, 24 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Alexander Schuke done. He died in 1933, and the photographer is unknown. I'm pretty sure that his image could be moved to Commons, but I am not familiar with German image licencing. Do you know anyone who could do that for us?Storye book (talk)10:24, 25 November 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Hello I'm a student from LUISS university in Rome and I'm working on a presentation based on wikipedia's crowdsourcing process and one part of the work is to put myself in the shoes of a wikipedia contributor and find out some feeling he receives when editing or writing pages. The questions I would like to receive answers on are the following:
1 What does the editor think and feel:
2 What does the editor say and do:
3 What does the editor hear and see:
4 What are is pains:
5 What are is gains (what does make him feel good when contributing):
