The primary goal of this project to improve the quality of articles related to English non-league football. This page and its sub-pages describe the goals and scope of the task force; list the members of the task force; collate the task force's assessment data; organise mini projects and to-do lists; and keep track of various useful online sources. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of Wikipedians interested in English non-league football. If you would like to help, have a look at the projects and tasks lower down the page, or inquire on the talk page.

For more information on WikiProjects, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject and Wikipedia:WikiProject Council/Guide.

Participants

[edit]

This is a list of active members. Members who have not edited non-league articles in over six months are considered dormant. Members will be removed if they have not edited non-league articles in over a year.

Members who have not been active on non-league football pages for over six months, but have edited them in the last year.

Showcase

[edit]

Some of the articles supported by the English non-league task force have reached featured article or featured list status (FA and FL, respectively), meaning they are amongst the very best content in Wikipedia. They are listed below; a bold title indicates the article was "today's featured article" or "today's featured list" for the date listed. Also included here are articles that are featured article candidates (FAC) that failed, those that have undergone peer review (PR) as part of an effort to get them to FA status, and those that have achieved good article (GA) status, the next-highest level of quality.

Recent achievements

[edit]

Successful FACs, FARs, GANs, GARs, or milestones in the last year:

The Quality Log keeps track of the changes made to this table as it is updated by the bot. If you wish to update the summary table, use this link, then select or type "English_non-league_football" and click "Go". It may take a few minutes as the bot goes through all the non-league articles. When it is finished it should display a summary page, after which you may exit the page.

Projects

[edit]
  1. Reduce number of clubs stubs: (see Category:English football club stubs) As of 14 May 2015 there are around 284 (414, 352, 327, 318, 286, 276, 247, 215, 174, 157, 137, 123) English non-league football club stubs (26 extant clubs). If all participants aimed to make one club article per day non-stub, then it would not take long (5 days to be precise!). Things a club page should have to be made non-stub:
    • Details of league played in, and rough geographic location (county/borough).
    • Completed infobox
    • Brief history, honours list and club records (Football Club History Database is useful here, but always cite your sources)
    • Link to club website
    • League template (where there is one – see here for current list)
    See Lutterworth Athletic F.C. for an example of an article with the minimum for non-stub status.
    Letter of month: B There are just two extant non-league club stubs starting with the letter B: Belper United F.C., Broadfields United F.C.
    In the past the project has de-stubbed all of the extant clubs starting with E, J and R!
  2. Expand league articles: Any league article should include:
    • {{Infobox football league}}
    • Geographic area covered
    • Current number of divisions / teams.
    • Recent champions, if not all.
    • League template (for all divisions), plus promotion/relegation info
    • External link
    • A list of stub league articles can be found at Category:English football competition stubs (as of 14 May 2015 there are 98)
    • Most of the articles for leagues at level 10 or below are so far only start class. Midland Football Alliance is an example of what to eventually aim for.
  3. Create all season articles for Step 3–4 (levels 7–8): 225/253 (89%) – as of 23 December 2013
  4. Add club badges for every team down to level 10: 611/611 (100%) – as of 2 December 2012


Please feel free to add any new projects you think the taskforce should focus on.

Adopt an article

[edit]

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
