Wikipedia:WikiProject Munich

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

This WikiProject was formed to foster better articles on the Bavarian city of Munich with a spirit of cooperation from members of this WikiProject. This page and its future subpages contain suggestions on formatting and layout of articles, which can be discussed at the project's talk page.

To participate, simply add your name to the members subpage.

Even though part of the scope is to help WikiProject Germany, this is still a seperate project and should be treated this way. Even though this is a seperate WikiProject, it is encourage to share ideas about the layout of articles and so on since Munich related articles are also Germany related articles.
