Past collaborations

Rutland (October 2006)

I'd like to nominate Rutland and it's 50 or so villages as collaboration of the month for October 2006. This would coincide with OpenStreetMap's mapping party which is planned for the weekend of October 14/15 2006. See OpenStreetMap party invite for details. 80N 15:42, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

Support. I don't know if I'll make it along to the party (don't know what my work load will be that far in advance), but I'll certainly have a go writing about physical geography and economy. Joe D (t) 21:22, 1 September 2006 (UTC)

Belfast (September 2006)

As per the proposed goals, Belfast should have been brought up to FA status by June of this year. I propose that this article be made a priority for next month's collaboration, rescinding other proposals. Belfast is one of the major cities of the UK, and is one of the four regional capital cities, and as such it is surely one of the core (either there, or thereabouts) articles of this project. --Mal 18:11, 25 August 2006 (UTC)

• Count my vote in. Not only is it one of the regional capitals, it greatly contributed to the UK during the wars with its creation of and still creation today of missiles, and bullets, etc. It was part of the industrial revolution of the Victorian era. As insignificant it is today, it was at one time a global-port and has its fair share of involvment in history, letalone its own history. --Dom0803 21:10, 31 August 2006 (UTC)

Dartmoor (Feb 06)

National Park for a change? Joe D (t) 23:11, 2 January 2006 (UTC)

Norfolk (Jan 06)

Third shortest. Joe D (t) 30 June 2005 22:53 (UTC)

1. Support -- Joolz 2 July 2005 19:17 (UTC)

Nottinghamshire (Dec)

Second shortest. Joe D (t) 30 June 2005 22:53 (UTC)

• Support. - G-Man 21:54, 10 August 2005 (UTC)

Northumberland (July)

Interesting county and a good chance for us southerners to research something new. Joe D (t) 21:45, 1 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support - Read above for why! -- Joolz 00:12, 7 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Hampshire (June 05)

Proposing because this already has some good info so it doesn't need as much work as other articles. Joe D (t) 10:51, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

• Seconded. My home county so I can contribute a lot here. Grunners 10:33, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
• Support - A nice easy one to cleanup whilst the project gets up and running. -- Joolz 01:12, 29 May 2005 (UTC)

Withdrawn nominations

London

Good article length, needs cleaning up and making sure it's a comprehensive encyclopaedic article before proposing as a FAC. Joe D (t) 10:51, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

The London article does need some work, but it might be better to organise it through the Wikipedia:WikiProject_London project -- Joolz 18:39, 27 May 2005 (UTC)

Agreed. Have done a lot to the transport section, as well as creating some of the borough etc. articles, but as Joolz said, may well be a project for elsewhere due to its scale. Grunners 10:35, 28 May 2005 (UTC)
