Participants
You don't need to be from Derbyshire to help with this WikiProject! We welcome all editors with good layout and prose skills, and users who can add content or fix issues with articles. You don't even need to sign up (!), but it would be lovely to hear from you and what your interests are. So, just sign up if you want to share and tell us about your interest in this county.

Assessment and progress of articles
Below is a bot generated table of the assessment process of WikiProject Derbyshire supported articles. See also WikiProject Derbyshire/Assessment. The stats are generated automatically every 2–3 days, but they can be updated manually here.

You may wish to use this chart to identify articles to improve. You can have the greatest impact by focussing on short (Stub) articles of the highest importance, as these are often the easiest to improve, whilst likely to be of interest to others. Alternatively, you could find Top priority articles and see how you could enhance these. Any article appearing in the 'Unassessed' row would benefit from a quality and importance rating if you feel confident to do this.
