Welcome to WikiProject River Thames

Hello, are you interested in the River Thames? Then we would like to invite you to join us on this project.

WikiProject River Thames is an open group of Wikipedia editors dedicated to improving and expanding Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to the River Thames. Our scope includes the Thames' locks, crossings, islands, tributaries, riverside settlements, ports, marinas, all river-based businesses, services, sport, events and leisure activities as well as the Thames in history, art and literature.

The aims of WikiProject Thames are to promote comprehensive coverage of all Thames topics within Wikipedia and to collaborate to promote Thames-related articles to good or featured status.

WikiProject Thames was founded on 23 August 2008 and is still in development – please do pitch in with your ideas and help shape its future.

 * not hugely active, but I will do my best! I love the Thames.
 * I plan to considerably improve the Port of London and associated articles over the coming few weeks. Hopefully.
 * I suppose I really ought to be listed here…
 * Having swallowed large amounts of the Thames...#
 * I live in view of and love the River Thames.
 * Missing islands of the Thames: Is there a reason why Thanet, Harty, Foulness, Bermondsey, etc are missing from the list of islands of the Thames (agreed not all are now islands, but other ex islands are listed)
 * Because the Thames ends at the line between Chalkwell and Yantlet Creek meaning Thanet, Harty and Foulness are all in the North Sea not the Thames, and there's no evidence that Bermondsey was ever an island? ‑ Iridescent 15:16, 8 August 2017 (UTC)
