As people will be aware we have been doing serious spring cleaning of the England bit of the OSM wiki.
In summary: There are now articles for all UK Ceremonial Counties (except the City of London as noted) All the counties are are linked to the appropriate region (except the one county is split between two regions) All the counties have a 'places' template and a slippery map in a standard format. Generally I didn't touch the rest of the article. They are all in a category 'County in England' http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:County_in_England There is a page of each region There is a category for each region with the appropriate counties in them http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Region_in_England I have merged the category 'UK Cities' into the category 'City in UK' http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:City_in_UK I have created 'Project in UK' category and added all UK projects to it and linked that to the 'Projects' Category and 'UK' Category http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/Category:Project_in_UK I have merged 'places to map' and 'more places to map' into 'UK Mapping Priorities' I have created pages for all the places listed in UK Mapping Priorities I have created a category call 'UK Mapping Priority and put all those places in the category http://wiki.openstreetmap.org/wiki/UK_Mapping_Priorities We have done this because I think it will help us with both the process of completing the mapping of the UK and also with the process of engaging with authorities in the UK who will often see 'their' wiki page as a good source of material about what is happening in their area. I suggest that anyone who sees a big place that needs mapping in future firstly creates a page for the place, then adds it to 'UK Mapping Priority' and then adds it (with its population total) into the table on the UK Mapping Priorities page. There is a place on the UK Mapping Priorities page for notes about progress and plans for each place. I haven't done anything for the Wales and Scotland sections except to shift some articles from the 'UK' category to the 'Wales' or 'Scotland' category. Regards, Peter Miller
