Directions for expanding any division below
The general outline and collection has been started, but if you would like to expand and organize your state, here's what you do. Right below the page heading for your state insert this: and save. This will put a rough outline together for you (see Virginia) and then you can edit it to conform to your area.

A good place to look for requested articles for your area is the Missing articles project for politicians and look for the pages that have your state and include links to them in your Announcements area.
