Here are some tasks you can do:

[edit] Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.

No articles have been adopted as of yet.

[edit] Guidelines

Should be determined by the appropriate descendant WikiProject. A complete list of descendant projects is available above. A generic guideline for New York State articles not covered by a descendant WikiProject will be created soon.

[edit] Templates

[edit] Infoboxes

Should be determined by the appropriate descendant WikiProject. A complete list of descendant projects is available above. A generic infobox for New York State articles not covered by a descendant WikiProject will be created soon.

[edit] Stub templates

This New York-related article is a stub. You can help Wikipedia by expanding it.

NOTE: Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia:Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.

[edit] Other templates

{{WikiProject New York}} should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar. If an article covered by this project is covered by an appropriate descendant WikiProject, then that WikiProject's tag should be used instead. For example, for New York State Route articles, use {{New York State routes WikiProject}}, not {{WikiProject New York}}.

{{WikiProject New York}} looks like this:
