Draft Core articles list for The South East England Challenge

The following articles have been identified as being core articles for South East England, articles which are the high priority for development. Level I core articles are considered the most important or are of higher priority to developing so are emboldened. Level II core articles are in normal writing. Editors who significantly expand a core article and get to Wikipedia:Good article status will score heavily and receive the most points. Though a minimum of 3kb of readable prose is expected for article expansions, for them to be compliant with the contest and points to be given for tackling core articles, the whole article must also be properly sourced and structured and generally markedly improved.

Only include articles which have not yet reached Good Article or Featured Article status as the purpose of the contest will be to promote articles to GA. Embolden the articles which are Level I grade of priority. The scope is : Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, East Sussex, Hampshire, Isle of Wight, Kent, Oxfordshire, Surrey and West Sussex.
