Probably too late for 2015, but has any thought been put into asking for interior pictures of listed (or other) buildings? Supermarket displays are quite ephemeral and worth recording. Modern kit makes this much more realistic to achieve than before, even without using flash. Most people take the external pic.SovalValtos (talk) 14:13, 19 December 2014 (UTC)[reply]

@Zigzig20s: It's a comma-separated values file. Open it in any spreadsheet program to see it in tabular form with one listed building per row. I'm afraid not at the moment.

Slack Roman fort or Slack Roman Fort? I used the first, I copied Castleshaw but I've found Bewcastle Roman Fort, Hardknott Roman Fort, Lunt Roman Fort, Ilkley Roman Fort and Strutt's Park Roman fort. As the Romans called it something else I thought it should be named like railway stations (Piccadilly railway station). Just wanted a second opinion. I suppose they ought to be named consistently. Forgot to say Hi, hope you are well. :) J3Mrs (talk) 09:42, 20 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ho J3Mrs, I'm keeping well - and keeping busy! Hope you're well too. My inclination with Roman forts would be much like yours: Leave fort lower case. It does end up looking a bit peculiar. I'm not sure if there's really a convention on it. Nev1 (talk) 20:30, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Ok my thoughts too. Somebody changed it but that's Wikipedia for you. I only asked as I know you're interested in castles. I have no idea where to look. Thanks anyway. J3Mrs (talk) 22:26, 21 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

If you have time, could you look over the Description section for improvements. Thanks.--Doug Coldwell (talk) 12:13, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Doug, I'll happily take a look. Nev1 (talk) 21:28, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

@Doug Coldwell: I think that section is very clear. The potential for things to get complicated is the second of those paragraphs, but I think it was handled well. It might be worth explaining in brackets what the Latin terms mean (or perhaps just swapping dominium for 'control'). Nev1 (talk) 22:15, 25 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Oval Books is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Oval Books until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article. Primefac (talk) 14:18, 26 February 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Hi, Your edit to List of scheduled monuments in Mendip removed a picture and references from Tithe Barn Pilton for no reason I could work out so I have reverted. Your edit summary said "(Semi-automated addition of image(s) and/or commonscat link(s) to monument list)" so I wondered if there was a problem with the gadget?— Rod ^talk 07:43, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

I'm the creator of the tool Nev1 used to make the edit and can confirm that this is a bug with it. I will work on a fix and hopefully have it out soon. Sorry for the error.--Dudemanfellabra (talk) 09:41, 4 March 2015 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, great. Will I be seeing more of your castles soon? - Dank (push to talk) 18:36, 2 April 2015 (UTC)[reply]

As you might have gathered from how long it's taken me to reply(!) I'm a bit short of time at the moment. I can potter about a bit on castle articles here and there, but sadly the extra time needed for FAC quality may be a bit out of reach for the foreseeable future. That's the consequence of me being foolhardy and thinking I can juggle part-time post-graduate research with full-time work. But never say never, all it takes is the right castle.

We are preparing to take a closer look at Featured articles promoted in 2004–2010 that may need a review. We started with a script-compiled list of older FAs that have not had a recent formal review. The next step is to prune the list by removing articles that are still actively maintained, up-to-date, and believed to meet current standards. We know that many of you personally maintain articles that you nominated, so we'd appreciate your help in winnowing the list where appropriate.

Please take a look at the sandbox list, check over the FAs listed by your name, and indicate on the sandbox talk page your assessment of their current status. Likewise, if you have taken on the maintenance of any listed FAs that were originally nominated by a departed editor, please indicate their status. BLPs should be given especially careful consideration.

Hi, I've just started doing some expansion on Cadbury Castle, Somerset and noticed quite a few of the book sources are lacking page numbers. Do you have any of:

• Alcock, Leslie (1972). "By South Cadbury is that Camelot...": Excavations at Cadbury Castle 1966-70. London: Thames and Hudson. ISBN 0-8128-1505-X.
• Alcock, Leslie (1973). Arthur's Britain. Harmondsworth: Pelican. ISBN 978-0140213966.
• Alcock, Leslie (1995). Cadbury Castle, Somerset: The Early Medieval Archaeology. University of Wales Press. ISBN 978-0708312759.
• Tabor, Richard (2008). Cadbury Castle: The hillfort and landscapes. Stroud: The History Press. ISBN 978-0-7524-4715-5.

If so could you look up the relevant page numbers? Obviously any other ideas or edits for improvement would be great as I'd like to take this one to GAN sometime.— Rod ^talk 15:58, 4 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]

This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay.

You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

Hi Ikhtiar H. Good work on getting Mustafizur's article to GA status. It's good to see an important player getting some attention. I removed some text because I thought the tone didn't quite fit with an encyclopedic writing style. So in the bit which reads "He was embraced heavily in his outset" it's unclear what embraced heavily means. Does it mean he's a fan favourite or that he is well regarded by his team mates? Nev1 (talk) 12:51, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nev1: It implies both cases but he mostly dominated the native media. Can you please raise the importance scale on both Bangladesh and cricket wikiprojects? Ikhtiar H (talk) 12:55, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I'm happy changing the importance for the cricket project (and have done so), but am not familiar with WikiProject Bangladeh's importance scale so won't change that. Nev1 (talk) 12:59, 27 January 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for uploading recent photos in and around Chepstow. I've removed the one of the Wye bridge, simply because - although more recent - it was taken on a disappointingly grey day and - more importantly - shows the temporary scaffolding that was on the bridge for a few months in 2015/16 for repairs and repainting, but which was removed some time ago. It's not far from me, so I could take a new even more up-to-date photo, on a bright day, and put it up before the bicentenary celebrations later this month.

During a recent lengthy discussion on the WP:FAC talkpage, several ideas were put forward as to how this procedure could be improved, particularly in making it more user-friendly towards first-time nominees. The promotion rate for first-timers at FAC is depressingly low – around 16 percent – which is a cause for concern. To help remedy this, Mike Christie and I, with the co-operation of the FAC coordinators, have devised a voluntary mentoring scheme, in which newcomers will guided by more experienced editors through the stages of preparation and submission of their articles. The general format of the scheme is explained in more detail on Wikipedia: Mentoring for FAC, which also includes a list of editors who have indicated that they are prepared to act as mentors.

Would you be prepared to take on this role occasionally? If so, please add your name to the list. By doing so you incur no obligation; it will be entirely for you to decide how often and on which articles you want to act in this capacity. We anticipate that the scheme will have a trial run for a few months before we appraise its effectiveness. Your participation will be most welcome. Brianboulton (talk) 21:35, 29 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Many thanks for signing up. The response from would-be mentors has been most encouraging. Schemes like this are often slow to take off, and it may be a while before we know if it's working. But with this level of support, including that of many of our most experienced FA editors, I think it has every chance. Brianboulton (talk) 16:51, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

It's a good idea and I hope the mentoring goes well. I think the number of people signing up is important as it shows people want to help. Thanks for the invite, I probably wouldn't have put my name forward otherwise since I was unsure how much time I'll have to mentor. Nev1 (talk) 18:18, 30 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hey I wanted to talk to you about putting Deva Victrix up for FAC, as you were a main contributor, I mistakenly made the FAC without consulting anyone, I was directed towards you for advice and mentoring, as this is my first FAC. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 02:27, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iazyges, no worries. It's strange to think that went to FAC 8 years ago. It would be great to see it go through FAC. I'll take part in the peer review and we'll work out what needs to be done. Nev1 (talk) 09:45, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks, on a semi related note do you have any idea how to fix it when your notifications say "Failed to fetch notifications?" Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 11:55, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

That's a new one to me! Perhaps go to Special:Notifications and see if things appear there. Nev1 (talk) 15:20, 21 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

By the way Iazyges, do you have access to a library which might have sources about Deva, or perhaps some access through the Wikipedia Library? Nev1 (talk) 16:31, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nev1: I have access to adam matthews, ill check if they have anything on britain. Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 20:46, 22 September 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Nev1: Do you feel Deva victrix is ready? Iazyges Consermonor Opus meum 19:12, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Iazyes, sorry I didn't get round to leaving comments over the weekend, I'm working on some now. Nev1 (talk) 19:14, 10 October 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello, Nev1. This message is intended to notify administrators of important changes to the protection policy.

Extended confirmed protection (also known as "30/500 protection") is a new level of page protection that only allows edits from accounts at least 30 days old and with 500 edits. The automatically assigned "extended confirmed" user right was created for this purpose. The protection level was created following this community discussion with the primary intention of enforcing various arbitration remedies that prohibited editors under the "30 days/500 edits" threshold to edit certain topic areas.

In July and August 2016, a request for comment established consensus for community use of the new protection level. Administrators are authorized to apply extended confirmed protection to combat any form of disruption (e.g. vandalism, sock puppetry, edit warring, etc.) on any topic, subject to the following conditions:

• Extended confirmed protection may only be used in cases where semi-protection has proven ineffective. It should not be used as a first resort.
• A bot will post a notification at Wikipedia:Administrators' noticeboard of each use. MusikBot currently does this by updating a report, which is transcluded onto the noticeboard.

Please review the protection policy carefully before using this new level of protection on pages. Thank you.
This message was sent to the administrators' mass message list. To opt-out of future messages, please remove yourself from the list. 17:48, 23 September 2016 (UTC)

Could do with your sensible opinion over at Liverpool regarding the lede. Koncorde (talk) 14:38, 2 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

@Koncorde: More or less, at least when I can. I'll see if I've got time on Saturday to take a look if it's still a like issues. Nev1 (talk) 19:27, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

I tried to engage, but was effectively accused of "political" bias. Much of it is fine, but it's poorly phrased in current format and any suggestion I make is rejected as some kind of anti-Liverpool bias. Between you and RichardGUK I could always get a sensible opinion. Koncorde (talk) 22:56, 16 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Hello,

Please note that TOTP based two-factor authentication is now available for all administrators. In light of the recent compromised accounts, you are encouraged to add this additional layer of security to your account. It may be enabled on your preferences page in the "User profile" tab under the "Basic information" section. For basic instructions on how to enable two-factor authentication, please see the developing help page for additional information. Important: Be sure to record the two-factor authentication key and the single use keys. If you lose your two factor authentication and do not have the keys, it's possible that your account will not be recoverable. Furthermore, you are encouraged to utilize a unique password and two-factor authentication for the email account associated with your Wikimedia account. This measure will assist in safeguarding your account from malicious password resets. Comments, questions, and concerns may be directed to the thread on the administrators' noticeboard.

Hi Nev1.

A new user group, New Page Reviewer, has been created in a move to greatly improve the standard of new page patrolling. The user right can be granted by any admin at PERM. It is highly recommended that admins look beyond the simple numerical threshold and satisfy themselves that the candidates have the required skills of communication and an advanced knowledge of notability and deletion. Admins are automatically included in this user right.

It is anticipated that this user right will significantly reduce the work load of admins who patrol the performance of the patrollers. However,due to the complexity of the rollout, some rights may have been accorded that may later need to be withdrawn, so some help will still be needed to some extent when discovering wrongly applied deletion tags or inappropriate pages that escape the attention of less experienced reviewers, and above all, hasty and bitey tagging for maintenance. User warnings are available here but very often a friendly custom message works best.

If you have any questions about this user right, don't hesitate to join us at WT:NPR. (Sent to all admins).MediaWiki message delivery (talk) 13:47, 15 November 2016 (UTC)[reply]

This is to let you know that the Brougham Castle article has been scheduled as today's featured article for February 19, 2017. Please check the article needs no amendments. If you're interested in editing the main page text, you're welcome to do so at Wikipedia:Today's featured article/February 19, 2017, but note that a coordinator will trim the lead to around 1100 characters anyway, so you aren't obliged to do so.

Hello Nev1, Last year you overrode extended confirmed autopromote requirements for this batch of editors. Is this still required or can they be reset to normal? — xaosflux ^Talk 15:32, 3 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Xaosflux, I gave the right to students so they could publish articles using the Content Translation Tool. They're studying MSc translation studies, so no fear of the text not being up to standard! The module resumes this month so I'd like the rights to be left in place a bit longer. Nev1 (talk) 11:45, 4 February 2017 (UTC)[reply]

G'day all, please be advised that throughout March 2017 the Military history Wikiproject is running its March Madness drive. This is a backlog drive that is focused on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• updating the project's currently listed A-class articles to ensure their ongoing compliance with the listed criteria
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various task force pages or other lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the military history scope will be considered eligible. More information can be found here for those that are interested, and members can sign up as participants at that page also.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 March and runs until 23:59 UTC on 31 March 2017, so please sign up now.

Dear Nev1, I pushed the above to Peer review, as I'd really like some feedback prior to FAC. However, it's languishing just at the moment.

Dear Nev1, now at FAC, where it is generating some, very helpful, interest. I'm ploughing through the comments. If you had time to re-visit, it would again be greatly appreciated. All best wishes. KJP1 (talk) 13:27, 17 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]

Castle has been scheduled for the above date as today's featured article. I'd appreciate it if you could check the article one more time to make sure it's up-to-date.

Hello,

Beginning in September 2017, the Wikimedia Foundation Anti-harassment tool team will be conducting a survey to gauge how well tools, training, and information exists to assist English Wikipedia administrators in recognizing and mitigating things like sockpuppetry, vandalism, and harassment.

The survey should only take 5 minutes, and your individual response will not be made public. This survey will be integral for our team to determine how to better support administrators.

To take the survey sign up here and we will send you a link to the form.

We really appreciate your input!

Hi there! I saw you listed as interested in archaeology and medieval history under Wikipedia:Mentoring for FAC#Mentors, and hoped that I could ask you about three articles that have just passed GA.

Greetings,

"Military history" is one of the most important subjects when speak of sum of all human knowledge. To support contributors interested in the area over various language Wikipedias, we intend to form a user group. It also provides a platform to share the best practices between military historians, and various military related projects on Wikipedias. An initial discussion was has been done between the coordinators and members of WikiProject Military History on English Wikipedia. Now this discussion has been taken to Meta-Wiki. Contributors intrested in the area of military history are requested to share their feedback and give suggestions at Talk:Discussion to incubate a user group for Wikipedia Military Historians.

G'day all, please be advised that throughout April 2018 the Military history Wikiproject is running its annual backlog elimination drive. This will focus on several key areas:

• tagging and assessing articles that fall within the project's scope
• adding or improving listed resources on Milhist's task force pages
• updating the open tasks template on Milhist's task force pages
• creating articles that are listed as "requested" on the project's various lists of missing articles.

As with past Milhist drives, there are points awarded for working on articles in the targeted areas, with barnstars being awarded at the end for different levels of achievement.

The drive is open to all Wikipedians, not just members of the Military history project, although only work on articles that fall (broadly) within the scope of military history will be considered eligible. This year, the Military history project would like to extend a specific welcome to members of Wikipedia:WikiProject Women in Red, and we would like to encourage all participants to consider working on helping to improve our coverage of women in the military. This is not the sole focus of the edit-a-thon, though, and there are aspects that hopefully will appeal to pretty much everyone.

The drive starts at 00:01 UTC on 1 April and runs until 23:59 UTC on 30 April 2018. Those interested in participating can sign up here.

Administrators must secure their accounts The Arbitration Committee may require a new RfA if your account is compromised.

This message was sent to all administrators following a recent motion. Thank you for your attention. For the Arbitration Committee, Cameron11598 02:38, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

ArbCom would like to apologise and correct our previous mass message in light of the response from the community.

Since November 2018, six administrator accounts have been compromised and temporarily desysopped. In an effort to help improve account security, our intention was to remind administrators of existing policies on account security — that they are required to "have strong passwords and follow appropriate personal security practices." We have updated our procedures to ensure that we enforce these policies more strictly in the future. The policies themselves have not changed. In particular, two-factor authentication remains an optional means of adding extra security to your account. The choice not to enable 2FA will not be considered when deciding to restore sysop privileges to administrator accounts that were compromised.

We are sorry for the wording of our previous message, which did not accurately convey this, and deeply regret the tone in which it was delivered.

For the Arbitration Committee, -Cameron11598 21:04, 4 May 2019 (UTC)[reply]

Hi Nev1, you are receiving this notice because you are listed as an active Articles for Creation reviewer.

Recently a list of reviewers by area of expertise was created. This notice is being sent out to alert you to the existence of that list, and to encourage you to add your name to it. If you or other reviewers come across articles in the queue where an acceptance/decline hinges on specialist knowledge, this list should serve to facilitate contact with a fellow reviewer.

To end on a positive note, the backlog has dropped below 1,500, so thanks for all of the hard work some of you have been putting into the AfC process!

Sent to all Articles for Creation reviewers as a one-time notice. To opt-out of all massmessage mailings, you may add Category:Wikipedians who opt out of message delivery to your user talk page. Regards, Sam-2727 (talk)

For the first time, Wales will be taking part in the international photo competition Wiki Loves Earth this year. It really is a fantastic competition! All the images need to be upload in June, by the photographer.

Please take a look at our WLE (Wales) landing page for further information:

Having taken photos for Wiki Loves Monuments in the past, I though, maybe, you would like to join us - and keep fit at the same time - or use images you took a while back!

Worcestershire - one of England's oldest and still existing (with some minor boundary changes) ceremonial and political shires, famous for its nearly 1000 year old cathedral, the River Severn, the AONB of the Malvern Hills, some of the oldest schools in the country, England's fastest growing university, apples, pears, cider and cricket, and of course its world famous sauce. The Wikiproject is now in need of some attention. Created 12 years ago, this project amassed a huge resource for editors working on all kinds of articles and categories related in some way or another to the county. Kudpung is more or less retired from Wikipedia getting on for 2 years ago and it would be good if a group of editors could get it up to date and continue to maintain it.

Hi!

You get this message because you are an admin on a Wikimedia wiki.

When someone edits a Wikimedia wiki without being logged in today, we show their IP address. As you may already know, we will not be able to do this in the future. This is a decision by the Wikimedia Foundation Legal department, because norms and regulations for privacy online have changed.

Instead of the IP we will show a masked identity. You as an admin will still be able to access the IP. There will also be a new user right for those who need to see the full IPs of unregistered users to fight vandalism, harassment and spam without being admins. Patrollers will also see part of the IP even without this user right. We are also working on better tools to help.

If you have not seen it before, you can read more on Meta. If you want to make sure you don’t miss technical changes on the Wikimedia wikis, you can subscribe to the weekly technical newsletter.

We have two suggested ways this identity could work. We would appreciate your feedback on which way you think would work best for you and your wiki, now and in the future. You can let us know on the talk page. You can write in your language. The suggestions were posted in October and we will decide after 17 January.

Thank you. /Johan (WMF)

A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Tower of London in popular culture is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.

The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Tower of London in popular culture until a consensus is reached, and anyone, including you, is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.

Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion notice from the top of the article.

The WORCESTERSHIRE Project Newsletter - May 2023

The WikiProject WORCESTERSHIRE Newsletter Issue 3 - May 2023 (Archived here.) Welcome to the third WikiProject Worcestershire newsletter and the first one in (checks notes) THIRTEEN years! When I first joined this WikiProject back in December last year, I was slightly tempted to mark it as inactive, as activity had extremely slowed and there had been no new participants in 3 years. But I have decided to revive this project, as Worcestershire means a lot to me and I know it does for so many others. But as many participants of this project have disappeared completely off Wikipedia, this project is now in dire need of attention and it would be helpful if a group of editors could join me and continue to maintain it. Here goes for the third EXTREMELY irregular news bulletin... What's happened since last time Evolution of Worcestershire county boundaries since 1844 was promoted to Good article on 3 September 2014. Largely the work of Bellow558, a Worcestershire Project member, the article was reviewed by Mike Christie. Hanley Castle High School was was promoted to Good article on 30 August 2012. There are 78 good articles for educational institution of all kinds of which there are 4 GA for secondary schools in the UK. Hanley High School is the first state school in the UK to become GA. Evesham was nominated on 2 December 2010 as a Good Article Candidate. The nomination unfortunately failed due to unforeseen unavailability of the editors working on the article. It only requires minor attention to be renominated. Worcester Castle was awarded Good Article status on 27 October 2011. Largely the work of User:Hchc2009 , the article was reviewed and promoted by User:Malleus Fatuorum. The photo by David Iliff of the medieval cloisters in Worcester Cathedral (pictured above) appeared as picture of the day on 5 October 2016. Urse d'Abetot was awarded Featured Article status on 13 October 2009. Promoted by Karanacs, the article was 96.4% the work of Ealdgyth. It was finally featured on the main page on 14 April 2018. The Battle of Powick Bridge was awarded Featured Article status in 2020 and appeared on the Main Page on 12 February 2023.

Would you like to join the WP:WORCS?? Please enter yourself at WP:WORCS! - new editors are always welcome! Happy Wikying, and thanks to everyone else who has contributed to our articles. New project resources Before making any major edits to articles or stubs, please be sure to read the new WP:WORCS/HowTo. Urgent tasks are now listed at: WP:WORCS/ToDo. It should be referred to often, and will be your main stop for most maintenance tasks. We recommend keeping the page on your watchlist. Priorities are not set in stone and if you would like to discuss changes, please join in at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Worcestershire. The current priorities: Population Now that the 2021 census details have been released, most settlement articles need updating. This website: https://www.citypopulation.de/ can be helpful, although you should note this does not collect data from hamlets or small villages. Monitor 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. Infoboxes Some of our articles need their infoboxes completing. References Please remember that the list of stubs needing expansion is always in need of attention. Please take a look and see if you can help. One small edit, such as adding a reference section and reference, to an article each session would make a big difference. If you are uploadiing an image, be sure it has a correct FUR, and that you have preferably already created a link on the page where you want it to be. These lists will help: All Worcs related articles by ABC Worcs related articles by type. All Worcs related articles about people by ABC List of all Schools in Worcestershire List by Class & Importance: Page 1 All categories except people (not yet tagged with WP banner) List by Class & Importance: Page 2 All categories except people (not yet tagged with WP banner). Guidelines How to write about settlements How to write about counties How to write about rivers How to write about people Missing civil parishes There is a project creating missing civil parish articles in England at User:Crouch, Swale/Missing parishes. The missing parishes in Worcestershire currently are: Drakes Broughton and Wadborough Norton and Lenchwick South Lenches Stock and Bradley Stoke, Worcestershire Westwood, Worcestershire Evesham project I am currently planning on reforming the Evesham article to get it up to scratch for another GA nomination. If other editors are interested in helping me then please do, especially if you live in Evesham yourself, as the main photo is from 2008 and is out-of-date as there is a new statue in front of the building. On the newsletter I intend to write a brand-new newsletter once every two months, though I would like other editors to help me in completing it in case of my unavailability.
