[edit] An excellent historic resource
I've mentioned the Scottish and the Welsh ones before; now it's England's turn.
british-history.ac.uk have just put Samuel Lewis' 1848 A topographical dictionary of England online. Entries vary from a sentence or three on most villages to lengthy discussions of cities and their constituent institutions. Definitely worth digging through to flesh out local articles...

[edit] Dispute regarding treaties relevant to the formation of the United Kingdom
There is currently a dispute going on at the Template talk:UKFormation which regard the inclusion of treaties specific to England within the template which aims to display the treaties leading to the formation of the United Kingdom i.e. the Union of Parliaments and Union of Crowns before that. Comment upon the dispute is needed so that a consensus may be reached. siarach 04:14, 14 February 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Looking for a London Admin?
User:Jeffrey Newman (real name - living NW London). I visited Wikipedia for a while in 2005, want to return but cannot log-in. For discussion see:http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/User_talk:Jimbo_Wales where Gadfium suggests I contact someone in UK and then find a Developer to regain my identity. Can anyone here help? 85.210.255.81 05:30, 16 April 2007 (UTC)
[edit] Wikipedia:Manual of Style (United Kingdom-related articles)
A guideline is being drafted at this page which would prescribe that all UK nationals be described as British, rather than English, Welsh, Scottish or N. Irish. Unfortunately the proposer appears to have overlooked notifying the UK based projects. Leithp 07:56, 7 August 2007 (UTC)

Hello folks,
The Philippine Wikipedia Community will be holding its 1st Meet-up in Cebu City (the fourth one in the Philippines) on June 23-24, 2008. This coincides with the first Philippine Open Source Summit, also to be held in Cebu. The Philippine Wikipedia Community is an Implementing Partner of the Open Source Summit. We invite you to join us in this event. If you are in the IT or IT-enabled services industry, this would be a great opportunity to meet people from the 4th best outsourcing city in the world. This is also a good excuse to visit our beautiful beaches :)
