[edit] Scope
This WikiProject aims to coordinate improvment efforts on articles related to Cincinnati and the Greater Cincinnati area. This includes people, neighborhoods, companies, buildings, parks, et cetera. Keep in mind that when placing the project banner on the talk page of a person that he or she should have a strong connection to Cincinnati. Also note that for Cincinnati Reds players we should use the project banner provided at WP:CINCINNATI REDS. It is also an aim of this project to bring the Cincinnati city article up to Featured Article status, in part by bringing it up to the standards defined by WikiProject Cities.
[edit] Parentage
The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Cities / WikiProject U.S. cities.

[edit] Open tasks
Here are some open WikiProject Cincinnati tasks:
- Turn Cincinnati into a featured article
- Turn Cincinnati/Northern Kentucky metropolitan area (aka Greater Cincinnati) into a featured article
- Mention cultural features of the city beyond those that are immediately visible to tourists.
- Improve the articles listed in Category:Stub-Class Cincinnati articles and identify and tag new Cincinnati-related stub articles by placing the project banner on article talk pages.
- Bring all articles in Category:B-Class Cincinnati articles up to A-Status, GA-Status and FA-Status according to the standards put forward by the Version 1.0 Editorial Team.
- Place an infobox in every article that appears in Category:Cincinnati articles needing infoboxes, and mark the "needs-infobox=" with "yes" in the project banner on talk pages for articles without an infobox present. Category:Infobox templates can be a helpful place to browse to find the infobox you need for an article.
- Address issues found present in Category:Cincinnati articles needing attention, which often need the most work of all. Place "yes" in the "attention=" field of the project banner on talk pages for articles in dire need of attention.
- Take pictures of places and people in the Cincinnati area identified as missing at Category:Cincinnati articles needing photographs and upload them to Wikipedia. Many such photographs will be easy to find, such as schools, libraries and historical places. Please remove "yes" from the "needs-photo=" field in the project banner for articles you add photos to, and insert "yes" in the same field when you identify a Cincinnati article that is missing a photograph.
- Improve sub-articles referenced in Cincinnati
