Scope

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

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.

Descendant WikiProjects

The descendants of this WikiProject are:

• WikiProject New York City Public Transportation
• WikiProject New York Theatre

• 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.

Article assessment

Template:/Assessment/Summary

Main article: Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City/Assessment

In an effort to assess NYC articles for possible inclusion in Wikipedia:1.0, an assessment page was started for this project. Details about how to assess an article and how to request an assessment are on the /Assessment page. Information on articles is tabulated by a bot, resulting in a worklist and the table we see at the right.
