WikiProject New York City is a project to better organize information in articles related to New York City. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions and opinions of interested contributors; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and coordinate the efforts of all.

To help, please inquire on the discussion page and see the to-do list there.

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to coordinate, organize and develop all Wikipedia activities concerning the Big Apple.

[edit] Parentage

The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Cities / WikiProject U.S. cities, though its relevance is somewhat limited vis-a-vis documenting a single very large city and the many unofficial communities that it is made up of.

At a state level, the parent of this project is WikiProject New York.

Ruthfulbarbarity I've tried to flesh out some of the categories that have gaping holes in them, e.g. members of the New York City Council, state legislature, etc., while also creating a few articles on local subjects that I thought merited attention, e.g. Kings Plaza, Coliseum Books, New York Blood Center, New York media figures, such as Richard Brookhiser, among others, etc... Even though most of my effort is focused on politics I try to fill in some of the dead spots in other NYC-related areas as well.

This page has been created to help fill in some of the gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of the city. Some are persistent red links or unfortunate obvious omissions, others have been requested elsewhere on Wikipedia. There is also a list of those hopeful articles that fall just short of full greatness, and await only some finishing touches.

Editors are encouraged to add new requests in the appropriate section.

Please also help answer a large set of implicit requests by expanding some of the NYC-stubs.

[edit] Requests for uncreated articles

West Side, Manhattan - J. J. Byrne Memorial Bridge - Wealth in New York City - Billionaires in New York City - Penthouses in New York City - Macdougal Street

Nathaniel Woodhull - NY militia general killed in the Battle of Long Island

St Francis of Assisi Church (New York City)

History of New York City's Mayoral Elections because a well-informed, coherent narrative is needed to accompany all the numbers and shorter comments in the already-huge New York City mayoralty elections, now gradually approaching completion. Also separate articles or sub-articles about any Mayoral election before 1997 (particularly 1901, 1913, 1933, 1965, 1969, 1989 & 1993).
