The talk page is the place to talk about this project, and to centralise discussions that involve two or more articles. It also contains news about new policies and things to look out for.
Anyone can join - you don't have to be from, or live in Worcestershire. please familiarise yourself with the contents of this page (all Wikipedia Projects are different), and then just add your name here by signing with four tildes (~~~~).
