This is a WikiProject , an open group of Wikipedia editors. New participants are welcome; feel free to talk to us
Project New York City
WikiProject New York City is a project to better organize information in articles related to New York City 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) .

Goals
Tentative :
Standardization, building and consensus nomenclature for neighborhood articles.
Standardization of articles relating to the New York City Subway . General strategy and discussion forums
WT:NYC This page has been created to help fill in some of the gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of the city. Some are persistent red links or unfortunate obvious omissions, others have been requested elsewhere on Wikipedia. There is also a list of those hopeful articles that fall just short of full greatness, and await only some finishing touches.
Editors are encouraged to add new requests in the appropriate section.
Please also help answer a large set of implicit requests by expanding some of the NYC-stubs
Requests for uncreated articles Russian Samovar (ru:Русский самовар , web ), restaurant formerly owned by Joseph Brodsky and Mikhail Baryshnikov , meeting point of Russian literary and art circles in NYC) --Off-shell (talk ) 10:22, 18 July 2015 (UTC)Darlington Hotel collapse , a 1904 disaster which killed 5 people.

If there is still interest in this subject I'd be happy to help contribute. German culture in NYC has some fascinating history, especially between the 1880s through 1920s! I'm not sure how best the article should be structured, but perhaps I can start working up a draft based on similar ethno-cultural articles. - Headphase (talk ) 14:54, 5 December 2021 (UTC)

Assessment links
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.
Recognized content
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by JL-Bot (talk · contribs ) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is tagged (e.g. { { WikiProject New York City } } or categorized correctly and wait for the next update. See WP:RECOG for configuration options.

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.
