On the project page you can find detailed guides on how to write about counties and settlements, as well as where to find statistics, references and other useful things. Additionally, the following have been identified as specific improvements this article needs: Cite sources Communications: does this section really need sub-sections when there's barely enough for separate paragraphs?

Two points to call to attention:

• I'm sure there should be a mention somewhere that the Harry Potter films use Alnwick castle for the exterior shots (with extra towers CGI'd in, of course). I'm not sure where it should go, though...

Probably in the Alnwick Castle page. Which is where it can be found. Does Wikipedia have a principle of subsidiarity? Who knows.--Tagishsimon (talk)

• Alnwick isn't well within commuting distance of Newcastle unless you habitually get up at 6AM. I don't want to change it since I don't commute from Alnwick to Newcastle, but if someone else can confirm this then it should be changed.

It's 30 miles. One hour by car at peak times. 25 minutes by train from Alnmouth. I used to commute occasionally. The council considers it well within. What can I say. Take out the word Well if you want. --Tagishsimon (talk)
