WikiProject New York City is a project to better organize information in articles related to New York City. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions and opinions of interested contributors; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and coordinate the efforts of all. To help, please inquire on the discussion page and see the to-do list there.
Some suggestions for NYC-specific sources can be found at /Sources.
The parents of this WikiProject are WikiProject Cities, and Wikipedia:WikiProject United States whose relevance is somewhat limited vis-a-vis documenting a single very large city and the many communities within it. At a state level, the parent of this project is WikiProject New York (state).

Article assessment
{{/Assessment/Summary}}
{{main|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.

Requested photos
If you have an article about a NYC subject that needs a photo, and you think one of our members may be able to take that photo themselves, add a request to the list of wanted photos here. Note that this is not for all NYC articles needing photos, but requests that need someone local who may be able to take the picture.
