[edit] Goals

  1. Improve Pennsylvania articles to featured status.
  2. Standardization - Wikipedia:WikiProject Pennsylvania/Rules and Standards
  3. Building and consensus nomenclature for neighborhood articles, including elimination of all red links.

[edit] Announcements

New to Wikipedia, thought some of my photos of central PA might be useful. I have them posted on Panoramio but I don't really know an easy way to export them over to wiki commons so that they retain their coordinates. If you see anything you'd like, feel free to use under creative commons as is stated on Panoramio (attribution, noncommercial, share-alike). kilmerj http://www.panoramio.com/user/398327

I noticed this project was mentioned on the talk page of Alcoa Power Generating Inc.. Since that company has little more than a headquarters in Pittsburgh, perhaps the American headquarters of Siemens VAI, covered in the Voestalpine article, qualify as well.Vchimpanzee · talk · contributions · 18:19, 2 July 2010 (UTC)

  • Liberty Bell is a current featured article candidate. Reviews would be greatly appreciated. The FAC may be found here.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:42, 24 August 2010 (UTC)
