Wikipedia:WikiProject Texas

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to the U.S. state of Texas. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to expand Wikipedia's resources on Texas and present Texas in a fair and accurate manner.

  2. To present a holistic view of Texas rather than the view of one region of Texas.
  3. To make Wikipedia one of the premier online resources on Texas.
  4. Contribute to the Texas portal: WP:Texas
