Aims
[edit]We would like to propose the aim of getting all articles to usable status. Yes this is a lot of work but it is doable. In the table above low hanging fruit are in the "needs only" row, these are cities that either just need a listing in one section or need an improved Get in section. Once a good number of these have been enhanced the sub-regions can them be improved and promoted to usable. Would be good to get a "Sleep" listing and content in the "Get in" on every article.
In order to upgrade the Nordic countries to guide status the following articles must be upgraded to usable status:
Key destinations that should be guides but still need some more content and work done on them.
- Hardangervidda and Lofoten were suggested as Other destinations for Europe. Would sure be good for them to be guide.
- ...
Other candidates that could with just a little effort be guide status:
- ...
Current articles under discussion and work in progress
[edit]Articles that are currently being worked on or under discussion such as merge or delete. Or articles you wish to bring to others attention.
Discussions should take place on the talk page of the article, this is just to highlight activity.
- Lolland-Falster - merge sub-regions up to region?
- Hordaland does this need to have sub-regions? If so article need re-organizing? Or better merge up Hardanger?
- Talk:Sunnhordland list of hotels to be moved to articles
- Sunnhordland listing in See section, where is Grovarvn?
- Bømlo - should be merged with Sunnhordland
- Sveio - should be merged with Sunnhordland
Done --Erik den yngre (talk) 19:45, 23 April 2021 (UTC)
- Västerort, Solna and Sundbyberg info on getting to airport needed
- Talk:Gotland#Missing information - discussion of how to improve and divide Gotland. Gotland has been divided into regions. Visby is guide, Karlsöarna, Fårö and Gotska sandön are usable and the three mainland regions outlines, all with attractions but without any Eat or Get around information.
- Sweden - There was a discussion about the regional breakdown.
- A lot of articles, such as Strängnäs and Mariefred, Karlskoga and Degerfors, Hällefors and Grythyttan, and Västervik and Tjust have multiple place names in their title. It has been suggested that we reduce the titles to one place name each.
- Should Fagersta and Norberg be merged together into Norbergs bergslag?
- Should Värnamo and Vaggeryd be merged together into Gnosjö region?
- Simrishamn - Merge to Österlen?
