[edit] Aims of the project
This wikiproject attempts to improve all articles related to the UK's government and politics, including the political process, politicians, government bodies and functions, elections and political history. Major tasks include:
- Updating articles as political events occur to ensure wikipedia is as up to data as possible;
- Improve the quality of the most important articles, hopefully achieving some FAs;
- Adding information to pages which is missing, researching where necessary as well as adding what we know;
- Assisting each other and providing a talking place for collaboration.

[edit] Major pending project tasks
- Adding our project banner to articles which are under our scope. Our main banner is {{WP UK Politics}};
- Locating templates which are associated with UK Politics and adding {{WP UK Politics}} to their talk pages. This will add them automatically to Category:Template-Class WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom articles. Note: the old, manually updated list can be found at Wikipedia:WikiProject Politics of the United Kingdom/Templates;
- Obtaining free photographs where one is needed. In particular there are several MPs who's photographs could do with being added;
- Rating articles on the quality and importance scales
[edit] Information to be added
- We could really do with researching historic election results to go on constituency articles, or at best a list of members who have served. Obviously there is no limit to how far back we could go but I think we should aim to have 1992+ on every article if we can.
I agree. I can find the notional 1992 election results for most UK constituencies. I've been adding them for the Northern ireland ones and can help with the UK ones if 'twould be fruitful to the project.Totalitariandemocrat (talk) 23:31, 27 March 2008 (UTC)
