Revision as of 10:46, 8 May 2014
- Overview
The Doom Bar is a bank of sand in the Camel Estuary in Cornwall. I've spent a fair amount of time working on the article, trying to get it up to featured status. One of the books I checked when I first wrote the article though gives some detailed information about the ships that were wrecked there, but I'm having difficulty getting hold of that book.
- Budget
Brain French: Wrecks and Rescues Around Padstow's Doom Bar - £23 on Amazon
- Timeline
I believe the main article should be put in to the Featured Article process within three months. A list article listing the wrecks on the bar should be available within the following 6 months, and hopefully submitted to the Featured List Criteria by the end of the year
- Expected outcomes
- w:en:Doom Bar should be able to get to Featured Article status
- w:en:List of wrecks on the Doom Bar should be created and reach Featured List status.
- Who I am
I'm Dave Craven, or w:en:Worm That Turned. I'm currently based in the North West UK and regularly attend Wiki-meetups in both Liverpool and Manchester. I'm a member of WMUK and active on the English Wikipedia, have a look at my userpage for more info. I grew up primarily in the South West of UK, where I use to enjoy the local beers. Doom Bar was one of my favourites in the 90s (before it went corporate) and piqued my interest in the name.
- Discussion
- At first glance, this seems excellent. I'll wait a day or so for any objections. I have one questions: would you be able to report on this after three months in the form of something we could use for our member newsletter? ie, a bit of prose etc?

- Hi Dave, thanks for submitting this microgrant. I'm happy to approve it. Please liaise with Richard about purchasing the book - you can either buy it directly and claim back for it, or the office can order it directly for you. Thanks. Mike Peel (talk) 19:30, 22 January 2013 (UTC)
