Descendant WikiProjects

Articles about Arkansas can brush up against many other subjects: for instance, an article about a U.S. Senator from Arkansas is about Arkansas as well as about the U.S. Senate. Therefore, before working on an article, it is recommended to check the list of WikiProjects to see whether another WikiProject exists that may have established guidelines about the subject of the article in question.

(Of course, it is also good to be familiar with Wikipedia-wide policies and guidelines.)
