The plan is to start drafting on some possible contributions here.
==Retailing==
The intention would be to look at a contribution to a wanted article and a related one. These are [[Associated Independent Stores]] and [[Associated Department Stores]]. This organisation, one amalgamated with the other, is a buying and support organisation for UK department stores.
==My local area==
A further area of interests and possible contributions are those of [[Devon]], [[Dartmoor]] and some Devon towns including [[Paignton]] and [[Totnes]]. The Paignton bit certainly should include the fact that it was the summer residence of the Bishop of [[Exeter]] for many years and the residence with walled garden and tower still exist. Probably issues such as the arrival of the railway to the area are relevant. The spelling reference can also be expanded. The Totnes page contains some quite subjective comment.
===Dartmoor===
Well the [[Dartmoor]] bits can defintely stand some work. Most of the river stubs are extremely basic and a quick glance shows that the area of standing stones, circles, rows need some attention given that it misses mentioning the fact that Dartmoor contains one of the longest in Europe.
The following link may be useful regarding the [[Industrial archaeology of Dartmoor]] [http://www.dartmoor-npa.gov.uk/lab-tinindustry] together with reference to Helen Harris's book on the subject. I'll look at this one in more depth as the whole area is a personal interest of mine.
Dartmoor bibliography maybe.
Sorting of thinking thro the main Dartmoor page - it does seem an uncomfortable mix at present. To me there should perhaps be more geo/phys type stuff (looking at other Nat Parks). But equally current Dartmoor events - Ten Tors, Dartmoor Beast, Widecombe Fair - are not mentioned at all. Need to look at some sort of sub page maybe. Whatever else the tors "list" needs radical rethink.
==Stuff I may want again==
