[edit] Adopt a State

Most US state articles are in terrible shape, many have only 1 or 2 references and they continually receive vandalism. You can help out by adopting your state. Just add it to your watchlist and at the minimum watch for vandalism.

You can also:

  • Add References (most important!) - Most references on any given state can be found for other states so check well references articles such as Minnesota for ideas.
  • Do Fact checking
  • Become a managing editor - A state article is a lot to write. See if you can find other editors to maintain certain sections.
  • Remove spurious or questionable nonsense. Favorite "history", facts of questionable usefulness or truth, outright trivia, etc. should be checked out.
  • Create Sub articles (ie Climate of Minnesota)
  • Add a better intro
  • Do copy editing
  • Add pictures
