This WikiProject was formed to improve and create articles related to the U.S. state of Iowa with a spirit of cooperation. This page and its subpages contain suggestions on the formatting, layout, and improvement of such articles. Any questions you have can be asked at the talk page.

Iowa – This is our main article, and is in great need of improvement. Let's try to improve it to at least Good Article status, aiming for Featured Article status. A suggested model is the article on Minnesota, which has achieved Featured Article status.
Joint Projects:
Caution: The projects in this section are associated or maintained by multiple projects. Under no circumstances should the banner from another project be replaced with the banner for WikiProject United States.
Also, some of these projects contain articles that do not pertain to the United States. Only those articles that pertain to the United States should be tagged with the WikiProject United States template even if it pertains to one of these projects.
