Here's a list of the Kent-related articles which need more work and then nominated (for those not yet Good Article rated). Our main initiative on this front is to tackle the Top and High importance articles (but please do feel free to contribute wherever you feel so inspired). We will be attempting to get the quality of all of these up to A-Class (that is, barring minor edits or new information, they should be "complete"). Depending on length and the availability of sources, the goal may be Featured Article status (FA).

— Turn lists into prose, or move to appropriate sub-page: list of places of interest can go on the list of places in Kent page.
— Get rid of the headings in the polical divisions page: a single 2-3 sentence paragraph does not need its own section. The subject is largely historical, and most of those divisions would go better on the History of Kent page, either keeping an approx. 3 paragraph summary in the Polical subdivisions section, or abolishing that section and incorporating the info in the history and government/politics sections.
— IMO industries fits better with economy than with physical geography.
- Either:
— Move the settlements section as a sub-section of geography and write a 2-3 paragraph summary of major settlements and the important things in/about them.
— Add a transport/communications sub-section to the geography section.
- Or:
— Delete the geography header and make physical geography a top-level header (like it is on many other counties)
— Make a "Settlements & communications" section.
— Delete the "Ceremonial county" section: that one sentence belongs in the introduction. This article is supposed to be describing all aspects of the county, including Medway (though noting that Medway is administratively independent). See for example how Poole and Bournemouth are handled in the Dorset article, or Southampton and Portsmouth in the Hampshire article.
