Welcome to '''WikiProject England!''' Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedians]] have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|Project]] to improve and organise articles 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!

==[[File:Postscript-viewer.svg|20px]] Goals==
* Improve the coverage of English parishes to more than just one line by adding 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
* Improve the article [[England]] to [[WP:FA|featured status]].
* Ensure that sub articles like [[Education in England]] and [[Geography of England]] are to a high standard, whilst not using too much from the similar articles at [[History of the United Kingdom]].
* English city and town articles such as [[London]] to a high standard.
* Fulfill requests for photos in [[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in England]]

== Announcements and open tasks ==
{{WikiProject cleanup listing}}
*<feel free to add tasks here><!-- What *specific* things need to be done.  Lists of articles to be worked on are a good start. -->
* [[Wymington]] - Trying to build out article. Needs work on late 19th and early 20th century history, geography, and demography. Built up from next to nothing, would like to get this to B or GA standard one day. Unfortunately I'm running into a bit of a wall with sourcing...turns out, there might just not be that much terribly interesting that's happened in a small village in north Bedfordshire in the last 200 years! [[User:Nfutvol|nf utvol]] ([[User talk:Nfutvol|talk]]) 03:04, 2 April 2023 (UTC)
* [[Fives]] working on article, hopefully to bring up to Good status. Started work, already doubled the article, any help is welcome. (Needs more info on history, rules, and playing abroad). [[User:Frzzl|Frzzl]] ([[User talk:Frzzl|talk]]) 17:04, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
* [[Sherborne_School]]: One of the classic British public schools. Much of the article is a copyvio from an old brochure. (See [[Talk:Sherborne_School#Copyvio]]) There are some conflict of interest problems.  (See [[Wikipedia:Conflict_of_interest/Noticeboard#User:SherborneArchives_reported]]). And, amusingly, there seems to be a slow-motion edit war between the school management, which wants to join the 21st century, and the old boys' association (their website: [http://oldshirburnian.org.uk/]), which wants to focus on the Good Old Days (of cold showers and hazing, perhaps[http://books.google.com/books?id=hIBNrWyNNUgC&pg=PT13&lpg=PT13&dq=Sherborne+School+cold+showers&source=bl&ots=Ff3H_EBXnm&sig=MT-vccSjKn_VaLnFASRNcPTIVwM&hl=en&sa=X&ei=6WRRU6nICsS-8gHqpoHADA&ved=0CC4Q6AEwAg#v=onepage&q=Sherborne%20School%20cold%20showers&f=false]). This needs some good edits by an interested but neutral party. --[[User:Nagle|John Nagle]] ([[User talk:Nagle|talk]]) 17:48, 18 April 2014 (UTC)
* [[Anglophobia]]: needs input on whether what I have added ([[http://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Anglophobia&oldid=290071633|diff]]) should remain in this article, or needs to be changed in some way. I'd also appreciate it if someone could add material about Anglophobia outside the United Kingdom.
* The [[Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell]] article was promoted to Featured article. Read the argumentation in [[wikipedia:Featured article candidates/Robert Baden-Powell, 1st Baron Baden-Powell|the comments]]. <span style="color:#B03060;"><i>[[User:Wimvandorst|Wim van Dorst]] ([[user talk:Wimvandorst|''Talk'']])</i></span> 20:13, 21 April 2007 (UTC).
* [[United Kingdom]] - Split off parts in sub articles.
* [[Downing Street memo]] - need some tidying up, fleshing out of lead and trim of ext links but has 60 references
* [[Victorian architecture]] - article extremely  biased towards architecture in the USA.  See [[Talk:Victorian architecture]] for details. --[[User:Kudpung|Kudpung]] ([[User talk:Kudpung|talk]]) 12:15, 12 August 2009 (UTC)
* [[Joan Pujol Garcia]] - The Spanish WWII double-agent better known as GARBO. Awarded both an MBE from George VI and the Iron Cross by Hitler. Convinced Germans that Normandy was a diversion. Submitted for Good Article status, trying to get featured in time for D-Day anniversary. [[User:K8 fan|K8 fan]] ([[User talk:K8 fan|talk]]) 00:44, 20 March 2012 (UTC)
:Re-rated to B Class. Thanks! How can we get it to GA class in the opinion of those more knowledgeable about the subject's importance to the history of England? [[User:K8 fan|K8 fan]] ([[User talk:K8 fan|talk]]) 02:17, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
* {{icon|GAH}} [[Scunthorpe]] could be nominated for GA if the long-tagged refs problems were sorted.--[[User:Robert EA Harvey|Robert EA Harvey]] ([[User talk:Robert EA Harvey|talk]]) 07:48, 18 March 2013 (UTC)
*[[House of Commons of England]] needs to be expanded. I was surprised that it is such a short article. Much more history needs to be added, and things like when did the election of its members started, what were the requirements to be a voter, and how these changed through time. [[User:Thinker78|Thinker78]] ([[User talk:Thinker78|talk]]) 07:35, 5 December 2017 (UTC)
===Special request===
*Thousands and thousands of articles are located in [[:Category:England]] and all of its sub-categories and they all need tagging using {{tl|WPE}} and rating for class and importance, for example to rate an article as top importance and class A, you would type <nowiki>{{WPE|class=A|importance=Top}}</nowiki>, for the class there 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 [[WP:GA|good article status]]
* B - A well written article but lacking certain information, however still of a high standard, with references.
* C - The article is better than a start, gives a reasonable coverage of subject but is incomplete, is wikified, has some refs, but lacking in style & layout.
* Start - The article is more than just a stub but needs a lot of work doing to it, possible work includes wikifying etc.
* Stub - The article is very short yet explains the title and gives enough information but more information could be added.

===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).
