[edit] Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
- Okay, since this category was "naked" when I just came across it, I will volunteer to adopt a few New York State-related articles! :P I've had an interest in NYS-related administrative/political arcana, especially that related to education. I'll adopt:
(Any collaborators on the above welcome, of course :-) ) —Catdude 20:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)
- Wayne County, New York — Jim Dunning talk : 17:48, 6 January 2007 (UTC)

{{WikiProject New York}} should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar. If an article covered by this project is covered by an appropriate descendant WikiProject, then that WikiProject's tag should be used instead. For example, for New York State Route articles, use {{New York State routes WikiProject}}, not {{WikiProject New York}}.
