Tasks

Many articles are unassessed; please help the project by assessing them.

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.

(Any collaborators on the above welcome, of course :-) ) —Catdude 20:10, 4 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The Original Grunge (talk)

  • I'll adopt this article (since I created it):

Guidelines

Should be determined by the appropriate descendant WikiProject. A complete list of descendant projects is available above. A generic guideline for New York State articles not covered by a descendant WikiProject will be created soon.
