Comments as to project scope.


The project was started after discussion on several pages, Uk Wikipedians, Project England and UK geography chat being the main ones. During the course of these chats the talk of creating one project for each county was, and still is being, discussed.

I originally wished to create a "Norfolk" only project, but as the link between the two counties of Norfolk and Suffolk is fairly lengthy, I decided to include Suffolk after chat with another two editors.

My reasons were that I spend, and have spent, a fair amount of time in Suffolk as do many Norfolk people, and the counties historical links as well as their similarities drew me to that conclusion. The final reason that pushed me towards this was the seeming lack of editors for Suffolk, although I am sure this could be changed. Many of the editors working on Norfolk also have worked on Suffolk articles and so I felt this would give both the best equal chance of TLC.

I do not really mind if the two are separated into "Project Norfolk" and "Project Suffolk" as I would probably just join both lol. Personally I do not think that it would be wise to go bigger than that. I did toy with "East Anglia" but that again would mean opening up to Cambridgeshire and Essex, and as the current discussion is for a separate proj for each county I think it would be inappropriate to go any bigger, thus I ruled out East of England as well as East Anglia.
