WikiProject Louisville was started on June 7, 2006 to coordinate work for and expand coverage of Louisville, Kentucky and related subjects in the English Wikipedia.

Anyone who is interested in contributing, please sign up and post any ideas and suggestions on the Talk page. Also, feel free to edit this page and add any articles that need serious work or that you feel require attention below in the Tasks section.

Contents

[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims to coordinate development of and improvements to articles related to Louisville, Kentucky and the surrounding metropolitan area, consisting of thirteen counties in Kentucky and Southern Indiana. Since the Louisville city article is already a Featured Article, this project aims to make that article even better, improve existing Louisville-related articles, and create new articles for Louisville-related subjects that don't have articles as of yet. Ultimately, we may also seek to create Portal:Louisville.

This is an open project that is owned and controlled by all its members. Its open tasks are a compilation generated by many of its members. All concerns with elements of this project should be discussed on the Talk page.

[edit] General

  • Continuous: Keep all Louisville-related articles properly categorized.
