Project

WikiProject Faroe Islands was formed to foster better articles on the country of the Faroe Islands with a spirit of co-operation.

Existing members: All of the content from the old page layout has now been reorganised. The templates can be found in the template directory, other resources have been moved around the page. Feedback and suggestions are welcome on the talk page. Please review the members list and add your own personal comments if you wish, stating your reason for participating in the project and so forth.
