This page is a guideline of how the Politics of the United Kingdom WikiProject should handle articles related to constituencies or electoral wards within the United Kingdom.
All constituency articles should be tagged with the {{ WP UK Politics}} banner and assessed on their quality and importance to the project.
Articles should be judged on the standard quality scale set out by the Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team, which is replicated on this project's Assessment page.
The importance assessment is a judgement by each individual WikiProject on what they consider to be their priority articles. In theory the Top importance articles should be the first to reach a level of quality sufficient to be included in Version 1.0 (or a subsequent version) while Low importance articles will usually reach the same level of quality at a later stage.
While the work of maintaining constituency articles is very important to the WikiProject, the relative importance of a single constituency article is low. For example, as there are 650 UK Parliamentary constituencies the importance of just 1 of those constituencies is fairly minor.
Label | Criteria |
---|---|
Low | All constituencies and wards |
There are to be no exceptions to the importance criteria. Possible arguments for higher importance are that the constituency was represented by an important individual (perhaps a Prime Minister) or that an important by-election was held there. However, it is the articles for the important individual and the important by-election that should be given higher importance, not the constituency.
Some useful sources for constituency articles are:
