Welcome to the WikiProject England!, some Wikipedians have formed a Project to improve articles and organise them which relate to England. We are dedicated to improving these articles and if you would like to help, please add your name to the participants!
Contents |
[edit] Goals
- Improve the coverage of English parishes to more than just one line by added photos and infoboxes where appropriate
- To better organise and link together England related articles throughout wikipedia (festivals, customs etc) so that they can be more easily explored by interested laymen
- Increase the detail of articles about English including illustrations and photos where appropriate
- Set a common style for English related articles
- Get the main England article up to GA status at least
- Ensure that sub articles like Education in England, History of England, Geography of England are to a high standard, whilst not using too much from the similar articles at History of the United Kingdom etc
- English city and town articles such as London to a high standard.
- Fulfill requests for photos in Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in England

[edit] Urgent help needed!
Your help is needed here! Literally thousands and thousands of articles are located in Category:England and all of its sub-categories and they all need tagging using {{WPE}} and rating for class and importance, for example to rate an article as top importance and class A, you would type {{WPE|class=A|importance=Top}}, for the class their is a range of different types, the following is a list of them:
- A - An excellent article - above Good article status (The article does not have to have been given GA status to be classed as A)
- GA - The article has been officially reviewed by a non-editor to the article and has been given the official good article status
- B - A well written article but lacking certain information, however still of a high standard
- Start - The article is more than just a stub but needs a lot of work doing to it, possible work includes wikifying ect.
- Stub - The article is very short yet explains the title and gives enough information but more information could be added.
[edit] Importance
- Top - This is for very high importance articles (e.g London) which are widely recognised.
- High - High importance articles which are recognised but not as well known as - for example the capital of a country.
- Mid - Articles and people/places etc in which are recognised nationally but not internationally.
- Low - Articles about places just within the local community and not internationally known, (e.g A local school).
