From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Welcome to WikiProject Indianapolis. This project was formed on November 26, 2007 when some Wikipedians adopted this as a project to better manage information in articles related to the city of Indianapolis in the U.S. state of Indiana. This group is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Indianapolis and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.
- Organize all articles having anything to do with Indianapolis.
- Improve Indianapolis article to Featured Article status.
- Improve any Indianapolis article that needs it, creating any not already created.
- Make sure that every Indianapolis article meets Wikipedia guidelines
- Improve every stub article to at least a "Start" rating
- Improve all top rated Indianapolis articles to at least a "B" rating
The scope of this WikiProject is any article dealing with Indianapolis or Marion County. The Project hopes to create, assess, and include every article having to do with Indianapolis or its immediate neighborhoods.

WikiProject Council would like to inform all Wikipedians that it may be advantageous to:
- Join WikiProjects of your field of knowledge or interest. This will provide you with a forum in which exchange opinions and identify common goals with respect to articles under that topic, as well as coordinated opportunities to share your knowledge.
You may also join Maintenance WikiProjects where the focus is on the organization and functioning of Wikipedia in general.
- Beware of overloading yourself with WikiProject memberships. Keep involved in a handful of WikiProjects to which you can actively and assiduously contribute. But always be willing to help any WikiProject when you see an opportunity, regardless of membership.
