Welcome to WikiProject Gerald Ford. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of the life, career, and presidency of Gerald Ford, the 38th President of the United States. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Goals

• Maintain and further improve articles already of high-quality (most importantly the Gerald Ford article, which has Featured Article status).
• Improve lower-quality articles, ultimately to Good or Featured status.
• Create new articles where appropriate.
• Successfully integrate the media donated by the Gerald R. Ford Presidential Library and Museum into Wikipedia (see this category on Wikimedia Commons).

Scope

• Gerald Ford, his family, executive and cabinet staff, and judicial nominees
• Articles related to actions or legislation
• Articles related to notable events surrounding Gerald Ford or his administration
• All other articles, templates, and categories relating to Gerald Ford or his presidency
