The primary goal of this project to improve the quality of articles related to English non-league football. This page and its sub-pages describe the goals and scope of the task force; list the members of the task force; collate the task force's assessment data; organise mini projects and to-do lists; and keep track of various useful online sources. It is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of Wikipedians interested in English non-league football. If you would like to help, have a look at the projects and tasks lower down the page, or inquire on the talk page.

The Quality Log keeps track of the changes made to this table as it is updated by the bot. If you wish to update the summary table, use this link, then select or type "English_non-league_football" and click "Go". It may take a few minutes as the bot goes through all the non-league articles. When it is finished it should display a summary page, after which you may exit the page.

Please feel free to add any new projects you think the taskforce should focus on.
Adopt an articleSimilar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
