Images

WikiProject Georgia (U.S. state) uses Category:Georgia (U.S. state) articles needing images to monitor all Georgia articles needing images. In addition, Wikipedian photographers living in Georgia use the subcategories at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in Georgia (U.S. state) to locate those subjects near where they typically take photographs. The "imageneeded=" and "in=" parameters of {{WikiProject GeorgiaUS}} populate both these categories.

  • To request an image for an article, use the "imageneeded=yes" parameter in the {{WikiProject GeorgiaUS}} article talk page template. Please use the "in=" parameter in the {{WikiProject GeorgiaUS}} template to specify the Georgia county where the photograph may be taken. Up to three locations may be specified, such as {{WikiProject GeorgiaUS|class=Start|importance=Low|imageneeded=yes|in=Fulton County, Georgia|in2=Putnam County, Georgia|in3=Taliaferro County, Georgia|nested=|unref=yes}}
  • If you need to specify four or more locations (such as a road passing through eight Georgia counties), use {{reqphoto}} and its multiple "in=" parameters.

Task Forces and Work Groups

Task forces are meant to provide centralized information and discussion for topics that have a sufficiently large scope. The advantages of establishing a new group as a task force or work group within an existing project are that generally, task forces require fewer members to be effective and do not have the same degree of required project maintenance, as much of that is taken on by the parent project.

Current work groups

The currently organized task forces are:

Proposed work groups

Several new task forces have been proposed. The purpose of this section is to guage user interest in each of these areas of the project before putting a lot of effort into creating a detailed project page. If you're interested in any of the projects listed here, simply add your name to the appropriate list and start contributing to the relevant articles.

Please write a brief description (including links to the related Wikipedia articles), and add it along with your name to the list below (in alphabetical order by topic). Some boilerplate you can use:
