Welcome to WikiProject Somerset. Some Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of
Somerset and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please
join the project, inquire on the
talk page and see the
to-do list below.
To cover all topics related to the historical county of
Somerset,
England, which may include, but is not restricted to towns, villages and geography of the county. People and organisations from Somerset. Local culture, economy history etc.
It is not intended to include people with only a loose connection e.g. alumni of local universities or those who played for local sports teams.

Derek Andrews (
talk·contribs) I am interested in working on Wells and surrounding villages, and general editing, tidying up, flagging problem areas etc. Particular interests; prehistory, industrial archaeology, natural features, walking routes. I only get home every few years, so won't be able to contribute photos too often.

Maedin (
