Wikipedia:WikiProject East Anglia

Suffolk and Norfolk, the original constituents of East Anglia, are in red. Cambridgeshire and Essex – more recently added – are in pink.

Welcome to WikiProject East Anglia. We are a group of contributors dedicated to improving and expanding Wikipedia's coverage of East Anglia. This page and its subpages contain editing suggestions and various resources that may help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below. This project includes the traditional East Anglian counties of Suffolk and Norfolk, but also includes Essex and Cambridgeshire.

Goals and guidelines

The goals of the project are to improve all pages about villages in East Anglia, create new pages about the region, and to clean up existing pages.

Each article which falls under WikiProject East Anglia should be in a category and include some history.
