Some articles I created
Some articles I plan to create, and references to use
- Archeology of Ipswich or breaking History of Ipswich out into an article of its own from Ipswich#History -- There's the Time Team#Series 11 dig, the recent works in Holywells Park, Ipswich and I dare say much more asides
- User:Ratarsed/Architecture of Ipswich possibly as a separate article, or just as a section on Ipswich.
- DanceEast -- [http://www.danceeast.co.uk/AboutDanceEast/about.html About DanceEast from their website]
- Geography of the United Kingdom 2001 Census -- [http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/census_geog.asp Census Geography form the ONS] [http://www.statistics.gov.uk/geography/downloads/georoadshowpaper.pdf Geography for the 2001 Census in England and Wales] by Professor David Martin of the University of Southampton and [http://www.geog.soton.ac.uk/users/martindj/davehome/cengeog.htm Prof. Martin's GIS Research]
