Wikipedia:WikiProject California

Goals This WikiProject aims to help organize and contribute to the growing collection of articles about California. This can be achieved by: Develop: Improve and maintain articles that are on the worklist, cleanup list, or requested on the project talk page. Coordinate: Tag all California-relevant articles with {{WikiProject California}}, and assess and prioritize articles missing assessment or importance values. Categorize California related articles, including with stub tags and navigation boxes. Support: Invite more users to join with {{subst:Cal Invitation}} and assist them whenever possible. Parentage This WikiProject is an offshoot of WikiProject United States, and has several descendant projects WikiProject United States.
