Hi Gaia, apologies if this is not the right medium for this, but I was wondering whether you might be willing to be interviewed (anonymously or otherwise) about your involvement in the Wikipedia community. I'm currently writing an essay about the people who edit Wikipedia, framed around the death of Jo Cox back in June. I was moved by how quickly Cox's Wikipedia page took shape on the day of her death, both to provide up-to-date details on the circumstances of her killing, but also to give definition to her personal and professional record. I would be very grateful if you could write to me at pwargan@gmail.com at your earliest convenience. All the best, Pawel — Preceding

A resolution was passed by the PCC in April 2016 to maintain it's status as an AB church but oversight remains with the Bishop of Plymouth and the Bishop of Maidstone is regarded as a friend of Christ Church. Both Bishops have conducted services at Christ Church, Maidstone in June and Plymouth in November after the church entered interregnum. It has caused problems with our benefice sister parish who would have liked the opportunity to interview women candidates but cannot due to the resolution.

Thanks for the correction
REVUpminster! I was a bit confused when I saw a picture on the website/facebook with Maidstone but that it wasn't on his list. I have updated the table to reflect what you've said. You wouldn't happen to have a reference for the resolution? Maybe an online parish newsletter?

Sorry no, it was only recorded in the PPC minutes.I believe Exeter was told. It was worded carefully so as not to exclude the Bishop of Exeter as some of the resolutions in Essex can prevent the Bishop of Chelmsford entering their churches.

That;s okay. If it wasn't for Maidstone publishing his Christmas newsletter on his website, barely any of the evangelical parishes who have passed resolutions would be known! At least the tradition catholic parishes are very open about their views. Maybe Paignton will appear on his next list. That's very interesting about Chelmsford; I'm not sure that that's what the resolutions are supposed to be about...

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 13,004 last month to 13,038 on 3rd January). 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 61 out of a total number of 3,746 articles.
Currently we have forty two 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.
Happy New Year
Wishing all our members a Happy New Year.
WikiProject Yorkshire Collaboration of the Month Project
The January 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.
Comments, questions and suggestions about this, or any, issue of the newsletter are always welcome and can be made by pressing the feedback button below...
