Scope
This project is intended to pull together interested and knowledgeable editors to improve all articles about Arizona. Thus, it covers the creation and editing of articles related to the U.S. State Arizona, its cities, counties, geography, transportation, culture, people, history and traditions. The aim is to build a broad and deep collection of solid articles about Arizona and Arizonans. All editors are welcome. Ways you can join in include the following:
 * 1) helping create the templates necessary for the project
 * 2) reading over articles and giving your suggestions in the article's talk pages
 * 3) copyediting for grammar and clarify
 * 4) adding photos
 * 5) reverting vandalism
 * 6) citing sources
 * 7) fact checking
 * 8) minor or major research and contributions
 * 9) advertising the project by posting the WikiProject template in relevant talk pages.

Adopt an article
Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existent article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
