Welcome to WikiProject Surrey. This project draws together and helps editors working on all Surrey-related articles, with the aim of improving and expanding all aspects of coverage. If you have any queries, please add them to the talk page. If you would like to see clean-up tasks to do, a first list of Surrey project clean-up tasks has been created (June 2014).

Project goals[edit]

This project aims to improve the quality of Surrey-related articles on Wikipedia. You can be assured that you will receive mutual support in making these articles far more substantial than stubs and ultimately match the quality of featured articles. You can see how well editors like you are progressing by looking at the 'ohm score' Ω 4.___ to the right. We would like a score of 3.___ which will set the county ahead of most others, you can achieve this by taking the time to read WP:UKVILLAGES in respect of settlement and other guidances such as WP:BIO and WP:ORG in respect of people and businesses. Alternatively simply copy the style of one of our Good Articles (GA), research using impartial, encyclopedic sources then upgrade its ranking modestly, and/or ask another participant in the project to do so. Our participants have offered a great deal of help to one another — if you have any questions then simply contact one or more of them.

Article guidelines[edit]

Guidelines at Wikipedia:WikiProject Surrey/Article guidelines demonstrate what articles on common subjects should contain, and provide a recommended page structure for a number of types of article. These guidelines are advisory and editors are not obliged to follow them.

Article grading[edit]

Articles are graded for quality based on the Assessment scale and for importance using the Release Version Criteria scale. For further information, visit the Assessment department.

About Surrey[edit]

Surrey /ˈsʌri/ is a county in the South East of England, and one of the home counties. The county borders Greater London, Kent, East Sussex, West Sussex, Hampshire, and Berkshire, and its historic county town is Guildford.[1] Surrey County Council sits extraterritorially at Kingston upon Thames, part of Greater London since 1965. The London boroughs of Lambeth, Wandsworth and Southwark were in Surrey until 1889, and Croydon, Kingston upon Thames, Merton, Sutton, and the part of Richmond upon Thames situated south of the River Thames—all now in Greater London—were part of Surrey until 1965.

Today's Surrey is divided into 11 boroughs and districts: Elmbridge, Epsom and Ewell, Guildford, Mole Valley, Reigate and Banstead, Runnymede, Spelthorne, Surrey Heath, Tandridge, Waverley and Woking. Services such as roads, mineral extraction licensing, education, strategic waste and recycling infrastructure, births marriages and deaths registration, aspects of health services and most social and children's services are within the remit of Surrey County Council.
