1. List your name among the participants.
2. Edit and expand this page. We need a solid foundation for the project in order to continue.
3. Add pages to the articles covered section below.

WikiProject Eastern Washington's goal is to add content, photos and information for all Eastern Washington pages. Right now it is focused on cities, towns, counties and places but as the project grows we hope to expand and cover all things related to Eastern Washington!

Anyone from, or with knowledge of Eastern Washington is welcome!

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, 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.

• Example article: User:Example
• History of Spokane: Alexandermiller
• Spokane River: SpokaneWilly

• Maps - It would be nice if we could have a better map available for the communities in Chelan County, instead of the simple dot on the state map, similar to what is used in Maricopa County, Arizona for their communities. I know Chelan County isn't as large or have as many cities, but a closer view of just Chelan County vs. a entire state view would be better. I tried to find a good base map, but I can't find one.

• Get the correct spelling on places - like the Fox Theater, some genius has the article titled Fox Theatre.
• I'm working on editing Hanford site, and I would eventually like to take it to good article status. Would anybody like to assess the article for the Eastern Washington Project or provide feedback? Northwest-historian (talk) 07:13, 30 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
