These websites will also often provide additional usefull background information that can be used to expand articles (if correctly cited). Links to locall football clubs, pubs, and chips shops, and list of names of all the local politicians and parish councillors, etc, are not required, and if you come across any you can happily rm them. You can also delete the names of pubs and shops in the articles if they are not notable (eg: not listed buildings etc).

I added an infobox to Rushton but I can't seem to find a lot of the information. What do you generally use as a source for adding information to infoboxes? With smaller villages such as Rushton that aren't generally tourist villages, I don't seem to be able to find much.

I was just about to create a new section about this. But I found this conversation before I did. Basically this project uses a different flag for Northamptonshire than the one used in the Northamptonshire article. Which flag is the correct one?

Don't worry too much about the infoboxes. Jeni has a knack of making and populating these and adding photos and coords. I don't know if she uses a bot or some special trick, but she does it exceptionally quickly and efficiently :)
