Welcome to WikiProject Syracuse, New York, a
WikiProject started on July 31, 2006, to coordinate work on articles related to
Syracuse, New York, in the English Wikipedia. There may or may not be a lot of recent activity showing, but post something on the talk page and you probably will find that several Syracuse
Wikipedians will be helpful and interested. :)
This page and its subpages contain suggestions from affiliated Wikipedians; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the
talk page and see the
goals and
open tasks below.
This WikiProject started in 2006 with a focus on articles directly relating to Syracuse (as in locations, buildings, parks, etc. that are in the city proper), as well as the towns (and their respective villages) that share a border with the city. In the years since, it has evolved to cover the entire
Syracuse metropolitan area, including all of
Onondaga County.
The main goals of WikiProject Syracuse, New York are:
Ensure that all Syracuse-related articles at least meet basic
WP:Style guidelines, are categorized correctly and wikilinked with detail, including its neighborhood if it is located in Syracuse.
Continually improve the quality of the better articles so they can reach
Good Article status one day.
Will try. About to move there.

I'm up for it. Already started by adding every hamlet I could think and fleshing out the article on East Syracuse. Feel free to contact me directly at clarkpark@twcny.rr.com. I wonder if we could get a forum specifically for this subject at Syracuse.com, which encourage a lot of locals to participate.

I've been working on outlying metropolitan areas (e.g.
Solvay,
Skaneateles,
Westvale). My special interest is architectural history, but generally all local history.

Count me in. I have a lot of knowledge about the eastern suburbs (too much, in fact) and will help out wherever I see it's needed!
