Scope
The purpose of this project is to cover all articles related to the U.S. state of Maryland. It should also serve as a hub for other more specific projects related to Maryland (such as Roads in Maryland). From this project, contributors will find links to the subprojects, and information for contributing to topics that do not yet have a subproject. This project is also responsible for the maintenance of the Maryland portal.
