align=center|Welcome to the WikiProject Melbourne!
align=center|This WikiProject is a collaboration of project participants to create, expand, and organise articles relating to the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.

Things to do

=Open tasks=

- Fill in short articles about suburbs and other stub/start articles here: Open tasks talk page

{{WikiProjectMelbourneTasks}}

=Clean up=

Cleanup listings contains all articles, with talk pages in {{cl|WikiProject Melbourne articles}}, which have been flagged for cleanup.

All users are welcome to help in editing or fixing any page on these lists. Please remember to take the appropriate tag(s) off the page when you have completed cleaning an article. Also, document what you have done, on the article's talk page, for the reference of other editors.

Here are some of the Clean up listing categories:

{{User:WolterBot/Cleanup listing subscription|wgcat=WikiProject Melbourne articles}}

=Photographs=

See: :Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Melbourne

=Adopt an article=

Similar to the Wikipedia:Australian Collaboration of the Fortnight, 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.

==Current adoptions==

In the beginning

A few Wikipedians have got together to make some suggestions about how we might organise data in articles about Melbourne. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!'

Scope

The areas covered by this project are listed below. Each area has its own page for the discussion and formulation of guidelines and conventions, as well as for listing examples of the best articles. If a page does not yet exist for a particular area, feel free to create it and propose how that part of the Project might be organised.

Note that progress and the number of articles is estimated and shown as a guide only.
