WikiProject Chicago was started on July 5, 2005 to coordinate work on articles related to the article Chicago in the English Wikipedia. Some Wikipedians have adopted this as a project to better organize information in articles related to the city of Chicago in the U.S. state of Illinois. In December of 2006, we revived the Chicago Collaboration of the Week. It has, however, been inactive since January 2008.

Please feel free to add your username to the List of Editors. Also, add anything that you feel require attention to the Open Tasks Section. If you have found a useful online source, please add it to the List of Sources. The project's first featured topic drive is underway.

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims to coordinate improvment efforts on articles related to Chicago and the surrounding area. The project focuses on articles in Cook County and attempts to monitor and improve all articles within our category list. However, it welcomes contributions from the entire Chicago area. It is also an aim of this project to bring the Chicago city article up to Featured Article status, in part by bringing it up to the standards defined by WikiProject Cities. We are currently formalizing an Assessment policy and procedure.

Note that an article may not show the promotion in the project template the same day that the article was promoted. Among the reason for a difference are:

1. The article was promoted before it was part of the project. Then at a later date a {{ChicagoWikiProject}} template was added and updated.
2. The article was promoted, but waited a few days for a bot to update all the article's talk page templates.
3. The article was promoted, but the manual process was not completed properly.
4. The article was not properly promoted via the review process and templates were updated later by someone thinking the article had been properly promoted.

Those looking for articles to nominate as good and featured articles may want to look at Chicago articles by size.
