On a day-to-day basis, keep articles on Devon free from vandalism and ensure that they are not degraded by sub-standard edits. The list of recent changes below shows the edits that have been made recently to articles under this project.
Improve existing articles by editing them. This includes the addition of new referenced content, copyediting (improvements to style, grammar, layout, spelling, etc.), and dealing with problem tags – see the list here (warning: there are a lot!).
Identify omissions in the coverage of Devon. Suggestions for new articles can be made on this project's Talk page, but the bold way is to write a new article yourself.
Identify existing or newly-created articles that should be included in this project and assess them, as described below.
The ultimate aim is to improve all Devon-related articles towards Featured Article status. This will take a long time, but we work towards it by a gradual process of improvement through these stages: Stub > Start > Class C > Class B > Good Article > Featured Article. Only 5 steps from the most basic entry!
If you're new to Wikipedia and thinking of becoming an editor – welcome! Here are a few resources that will help get you up to speed on how things work around here.
"Editing Wikipedia" is a downloadable PDF brochure that gives you a basic introduction to how to edit Wikipedia. You will learn what Wikipedia is and how it works, how to navigate Wikipedia, how and why you should contribute to Wikipedia, important rules that keep Wikipedia reliable, how to edit with VisualEditor and using wiki markup, how to add content, and etiquette for interacting with other contributors.
Help:Getting started provides links to several other resources that are useful to new editors.
When it all seems too complex, The Teahouse is a friendly place to help new editors become accustomed to Wikipedia culture, ask questions, and develop community relationships.
