[edit] Scope

This WikiProject aims primarily to coordinate, organize and develop all Wikipedia activities concerning the Big Apple.

[edit] Parentage

The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Cities / Wikipedia:WikiProject United States, though its relevance is somewhat limited vis-a-vis documenting a single very large city and the many unofficial communities that it is made up of.

At a state level, the parent of this project is WikiProject New York.
