• Throughthelens ^talk (founder) Colorado native and Wikipedian who has noticed some glaring inaccuratcies in articles about my home state.
• Vertigo700 06:27, 16 March 2006 (UTC) I personally think this is great. I am also a native Coloradan, from Denver, and would definitely love to get this thing rolling. Can help in any way possible.
• Editor19841 00:12, 18 March 2006 (UTC) I'm happy to see that a project like this has finely been created. I was born and raised in Denver, Colorado, and am proud of my heritage throught the Centennial State. I'm currently devoting my time on Wikipedia to Colorado-related articles, and am well educated in the history of the state, so I am open to any ways I can contribute to the project.
• Cperko 12:18, 19 March 2006 (UTC) Great idea! Though I'm relatively new to editing, I've been interested in Colorado history and lore for years. I look forward to contributing.
• Yale2010 20:23, 1 April 2006 (UTC) Coloradoan, reporting for duty!
• Enkrates 18:41, 2 April 2006 (UTC) I'm in Colorado Springs and I'm trying to improve the articles related to the city.

• Webdinger 02:13, 12 April 2006 (UTC) I've been living in Colorado for a very long time now (Colorado Springs specifically) and I believe it's important to improve all Colorado-related articles. A project like this is a wonderful way to initiate and drive that process.
• tstockma 05:46, 17 April 2006 (UTC) Likewise, I'm in Colorado Springs have done considerable work on its page in the last few months, plus expanding some of eastern Colorado counties' pages, and a few other Colorado tasks. Having a "task list" sounds great, especially if we can prioritize.
• EnsRedShirt 09:59, 22 April 2006 (UTC) I Have been living in Colorado for just about ten years now. I live Southwest of Denver on 285, and love it. I would love to help, when I have time.
• eisenhower ^UTCEQ
• Ginkgo100 02:21, 30 April 2006 (UTC) I am a Denverite who has helped with this Wikiproject (in a small way) for a little while now, and thought I should get around to putting my name up here.
• James Reyes 23:33, 30 April 2006 (UTC) I'm a student at CU Boulder.
• Notchcode I am a native, living and working in the Denver-Metro area and am excited to help out. I do work for the state agency that governs mines and mined land reclamation, and have a lot of mining-related knowledge I can share (in addition to the usual native knowledge ;) ).
