About the Boston WikiProject
This project seeks to better organize information in articles related to the "Hub of the Universe," Boston, and several of the cities surrounding it. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the discussion page, see the {{Section link||Goals|nopage=yes}} below or just start editing articles and link them to the project using the {{Template link general|plaincode=on|WikiProject United States|2=Boston=yes}} banner.
= Scope =
This WikiProject aims to provide a centralized location for the discussion of standards for work on articles relating to the City of Boston and several surrounding cities in Wikipedia. This includes—but is not limited to—its history, culture, sports and other topics.

Goals
- Cleanup pages that are related to Boston
- Merge pages that should be merged
- Watch Boston pages for vandalism
- Expand and create pages for Boston personalities
= Boston neighborhoods =
Looking for action items on the Neighborhoods and discussion as to if they should be separated into major neighborhoods and sub-neighborhoods. For instance Kenmore Square, Fens and Fenway-Kenmore could all be considered part of the Fenway of which there is no section. Also should clean up Boston neighborhoods adding a quick blurb about each section.
