Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
WikiProject New York City is a project to better organize information in articles related to New York City. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions and opinions of interested contributors; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and coordinate the efforts of all.
To help, please inquire on the discussion page and see the to-do list there.
[edit] Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to coordinate, organize and develop all Wikipedia activities concerning the Big Apple.
[edit] Parentage
The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Cities / WikiProject U.S. cities, though its relevance is somewhat limited vis-a-vis documenting a single very large city and the many unofficial communities that it is made up of.
At a state level, the parent of this project is WikiProject New York.

- Ruthfulbarbarity I've tried to flesh out some of the categories that have gaping holes in them, e.g. members of the New York City Council, state legislature, etc., while also creating a few articles on local subjects that I thought merited attention, e.g. Kings Plaza, Coliseum Books, New York Blood Center, New York media figures, such as Richard Brookhiser, among others, etc... Even though most of my effort is focused on politics I try to fill in some of the dead spots in other NYC-related areas as well.

Some are persistent red links or unfortunate obvious omissions, others have been requested elsewhere on Wikipedia. There is also a list of those hopeful articles that fall just short of full greatness, and await only some finishing touches.
Editors are encouraged to add new requests in the appropriate section.

Assessment links
|
In an effort to assess NYC articles for possible inclusion in Wikipedia:1.0, an assessment page was started for this project. Details about how to assess an article and how to request an assessment are on the /Assessment page. Information on articles is tabulated by a bot, resulting in a worklist and the table we see at the right.
