Welcome to WikiProject United States governors on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to US Governor History.
Goals
[edit]- To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that discuss all the Governors in US History .
- To improve Wikipedia's coverage of ALL US Governors by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
- To serve as the central point of discussion of all US Governors in Wikipedia and to help the US .
Scope
[edit]The project generally considers any article related to the Governors of the US, to be a valid topic. We will have pages for every governor in US History. Adding information about governors that already have their own pages, and continue to make new articles. Here is a scope of what we plan to do:
- Discuus what they pursued as governor.
- Talk About how the state did under the governor
- The Governors Policies
- Party Affiliation, (especially during the old days)
Structure
[edit]Internally, the project has developed several structural features to help in managing its extensive work:
- Coordinators, who are responsible for maintaining the administrative aspects of the project.
- Task forces, which are more informal groups for collaboration on specific areas of US Governor history, such as particular periods of the Governors time in office.
