Welcome to the Indianapolis Department. This department was created April 14, 2010, after WikiProject Indianapolis became inactive. Its goal is to better manage information in articles related to the city of Indianapolis in the
U.S. state of
Indiana. This group is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Indianapolis and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this department will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please
join the project, inquire on the
talk page and see the
to-do list below.
Goals
Organize all articles having anything to do with Indianapolis.
Improve any Indianapolis article that needs it, creating any not already created.
Make sure that every Indianapolis article meets Wikipedia guidelines
Improve every stub article to at least a Start rating
Improve all
top rated Indianapolis articles to at least a B rating
Scope
The scope of this
WikiProject is any article dealing with
Indianapolis or
Marion County. The Project hopes to create, assess, and include every article having to do with Indianapolis or its immediate
neighborhoods.
Entry mentions that Indianapolis is a "Nestlé distribution hub," but that's probably
Anderson, Indiana. The entry for
Nestlé does not mention its hubs.
Entry states that Indiana was the 6th state to establish an "agricultural fair"--needs citation. Entry does not describe role of agriculture in more recent iterations of the fair.
Stub. Entry mentions use of beagles in research at this Indiana ag company ... as a "Criticism," but gives the controversy over Dicamba very little mention.
