WikiProject Cincinnati was founded on August 5, 2007 with the misson of organizing and improving all Cincinnati, Ohio and Greater Cincinnati related articles on the English Wikipedia. Anyone interested in contributing, please sign up below and give your ideas and suggestions on our project talk page. Feel free to also add articles to the Open Tasks section below.
Scope
editThis WikiProject aims to coordinate improvement efforts on articles related to Cincinnati and the Greater Cincinnati area. This includes people, neighborhoods, companies, buildings, parks, et cetera. Keep in mind that when placing the project banner on the talk page of a person that he or she should have a strong connection to Cincinnati. Also note that for Cincinnati Reds players we should use the project banner provided at WP:CINCINNATI REDS. It is also an aim of this project to bring the Cincinnati city article up to Featured Article status, in part by bringing it up to the standards defined by WikiProject Cities.
