The resulting WikiProject was not created
We have WikiProjects for most English counties, but not Oxfordshire. The scope for this WikiProject would be similar to those relating to other counties. Redrose64 ( talk) 18:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Please specify whether or not you would join the project.
I did suggest this to somebody several months ago, but was ignored. I've only just found this formal proposal method. So, what do people think? -- Redrose64 ( talk) 18:12, 4 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Seems natural. This proposal could be publicised to contributors to relevant articles. Could establish support. Folks at 137 ( talk) 19:48, 13 December 2009 (UTC) reply
Waggers ( talk · contribs) might be interested, as he set up Portal:Oxfordshire. Bencherlite Talk 11:27, 29 January 2010 (UTC) reply
Not intending to extinguish fires here (far from it), but just pointing out that most (if not all) rural county projects have died on their feet in the last couple of years (information at Wikipedia:WikiProject England/Projects). There was a large discussion here about how county projects were losing strength, numbers and purpose (a discussion which influenced the creation of the joint Wikipedia:WikiProject Lancashire and Cumbria). Might I suggest pairing Oxfordshire up with one or more of its neighbours so as to increase numbers and rate of activity? The real problem with projects for areas with small populations (even the city projects for Bradford etc have died) appears to be that they don't attract enough editors. It's no real skin off my nose, but I'd love to see a fully fledged local/regional WikiProject really take off in 2010. -- Jza84 | Talk 12:41, 11 February 2010 (UTC) reply
