I started Wikipeding in April 2010 by expanding a stub related to a village in North Lincolnshire (Alkborough). This is an ongoing project. However, my main interest is in the Roman Empire, and specifically Hadrian's Wall. I'm currently involved in a little project-ette to create entries for each of the Milecastles along Hadrian's Wall. It takes much longer than you might think!
First impressions of Wikipeding? There's always more that you want to do, than time you have to do it.
When a project includes multiple operational pages, it is generally best to redirect their discussion pages to the main discussion page for the project. That way, participants remain aware of what is going on with the project without having to search out every nook and cranny where discussions may be taking place.
The exception to this strategy is when a task is delegated that would generate a great deal of discussion, and centralizing it with the project's other discussions would create a discussion page of unmanageable size.
