Many of WikiProject UK Geography's daughter projects have identified their own objectives and key articles to develop towards the featured article standard, which this project wholly supports and encourages. However, this project also aims to facilitate the development of a number of key articles related to the overall geography of the United Kingdom:

:Our aims in the short term, are to achieve the following:

• Bring United Kingdom up to featured article standard.
• Bring each of the cities of the United Kingdom up to good article standard.
• Improve systems of communication between this project and its daughter projects.

:Our mid-term aims for the project are:

• Bring each of the British capitals of London, Edinburgh, Cardiff and Belfast up to featured article standard.
• Have ten articles at a county or district level up to featured article standard.
• Develop a series of professional, inclusive and wide-ranging guidelines related to the writing and presentation of articles related to Britain's geography.

:Our long term aims for the project are:

• Improving all Wikipedia articles that are concerned with the geography of the United Kingdom, including its history, geography, people, constructions and buildings, etc. etc.
• All relevant articles should be included in the :Category:United Kingdom or one of its subcategories.
• Articles on all UK subdivisions, settlements, and other notable geographical features.

Guidelines at WikiProject UK Geography are a key element of how the project operates; they ensure that the UK's articles have a consistent House Style and provide a lasting consistency for our readers to benefit from. Working in partnership with "international" WikiProjects, UK Geography has developed the following Project guidelines which indicate standardised, consensual recommended approaches when writing about certain aspects of Britain's geography. They each include tips on obtaining the highest of awards for articles:

• /How to write about settlements - the most common one you need!
• /How to write about counties
• /How to write about districts
• /How to write about territorial geographies - constituencies, local government districts, postal and using statistics about them
• /How to write about London stations (good starting point for stations in general)
• /How to write about rivers
• /How to write about UK postal administration
• /How to write about UK Waterways

A new sub-project has been set up to complement the work done within WP:UKGEO. Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/Embedded Audio Pronunciations seeks to provide a comprehensive, high-quality range of audio files consisting of native British English pronunciations of relevant words and names: counties, settlements, rivers, mountains and so on. Ideally, both "Received Pronunciation" and local accent variations would be provided, and a repository of public-domain or GFDL-licensed files built up for the benefit of anybody interested in the UK and the English language. In particular, every file provided would ideally be linked to the relevant Wikipedia article. More information and guidelines are provided at this page.

:For templates used for the administration and organisation of the Project and its remit, see Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/Templates.

{{main|Wikipedia:WikiProject UK geography/Assessment}}

On the right of this page is a bot-generated table of the assessment process of WikiProject UK geography supported articles. The stats are generated automatically daily, but they can be updated manually by entering UK geography (and replacing Foobar) into the Category box [http://www.kiwix.org/~oleg/wp/wp10/run_wp10.html here].

The project has categorised articles according to the WP 1.0 criteria:

• Featured Articles: need little or no work.
• 'A' class: need a very small amount of work, followed by FA nomination.
• Good Articles: a little more work required.
• 'B' class: getting there - overall structure in place, but more work needed on the detail, more references etc
• 'C' class: starting to come together but may still lack a major section, significant referencing etc
• Start class: short, lacks details, key facts, illustration, etc.
• Stub class: very short, lacking important details.

• There is a list of very short "stub" articles here.

:Main tool page: toolserver.org

• Reflinks - Edits bare references - adds title/dates etc. to bare references
• Checklinks - Edit and repair external links
• Dab solver - Quickly resolve ambiguous links.
• Peer reviewer - Provides hints and suggestion to improving articles.
