==Scope==

This [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] aims to coordinate development of and improvements to articles related to [[Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]] and the [[Pittsburgh metropolitan area|surrounding metropolitan area]] in [[Western Pennsylvania]], including [[Allegheny County, Pennsylvania|Allegheny]], [[Armstrong County, Pennsylvania|Armstrong]], [[Beaver County, Pennsylvania|Beaver]], [[Butler County, Pennsylvania|Butler]], [[Fayette County, Pennsylvania|Fayette]], [[Washington County, Pennsylvania|Washington]], and [[Westmoreland County, Pennsylvania|Westmoreland]] counties.

This works to elevate the Pittsburgh city article to [[Wikipedia:Featured articles|Featured Article]] status, improve existing Pittsburgh-related articles, and create new articles for Pittsburgh-related subjects that don't have articles yet. We monitor and improve [[Portal:Pittsburgh]].

This is an open project that is owned and controlled by all its members. Its [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Pittsburgh#Tasks|open tasks]] are a compilation generated by many of its members. All concerns with elements of this project should be discussed on the [[Wikipedia talk:WikiProject Pittsburgh|Talk page]].

# tagged on their talk page with WikiProject Pittsburgh assessment templates (add <nowiki>{{WikiProject Pittsburgh|class=|importance=}}</nowiki> to the top of article's talk page

# assessed (fill in in the class= and importance= parameters if they are missing; it is as easy as making them class=start and importance=mid for example; see [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|here]] for detailed how-to)

{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Pittsburgh articles by quality statistics}}

Line 189:

* Identify and list all Pittsburgh-related infoboxes and navigational templates on a subpage, and consider the development of new ones.

* Add a [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Assessment|quality assessment scale]] on a subpage, listing all pages that fit into various grade levels.

* Plan and develop [[Portal:Pittsburgh]] (See [[Portal:Philadelphia]] for an example).

==== Newsletter ====

Line 197 ⟶ 196:

A continuous goal of this project is to improve sub-articles referenced in the Pittsburgh city article as well as any article related to the subject of Pittsburgh. This section aims to list the articles with the greatest current need.

Also, see the [[:Category:Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania stubs|full list of all Pittsburgh-related stubs]]. Project members should try to improve stubs at least to the point where the stub notices can be removed.

====Article cleanup====

Line 208 ⟶ 207:

These are potential articles that project members have requested be created for the Wikipedia. If you know of a notable subject for an article that isn't listed here and want to create the article right away, please do so.

*[[Pittsburgh attractions]] &mdash; categorize under [[:Category:Visitor attractions in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania]]

**[[Golf in Pittsburgh]], or alternatively, [[Golf in Western Pennsylvania]]. This article would also be useful for the [[Portal:Pittsburgh]]. It could cover history, famous courses and events, and players from the area.

====Photos====

I need a photo of a "sankey brick" for the new [[Sankey brick]] article. Can someone on the Southside look around for an old brick stamped "SANKEY"? I no longer live in Pennsylvania.
