Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Route 66

Welcome to the U.S. Route 66 Task Force, a joint collaboration between the U.S. Roads and U.S. History WikiProjects. The goal is to create, improve and expand the content related to the Mother Road on Wikipedia.

Scope
U.S. Route 66 should cover not just the highway, but the mark it left on the country and the people who lived along it. For popular culture works, it should cover the work and not the people who wrote or performed it unless they're indelibly linked. For example, Route 66 (song) would fall under the scope, but Bobby Troup, who wrote the song, would not.

Topics within the scope
 * The highway itself
 * Neighborhoods and small towns
 * Important buildings
 * Important people
 * Popular culture

Topics outside the scope
 * Large cities
 * Vehicles
 * Authors and singers

To do

 * Tag related articles.
 * Find editors who have shown interest in this subject and ask them to take a look here.
 * Identify articles for creation
 * Identify articles for improvement
 * Review importance and quality of existing articles

Tagging and assessment
Any road articles that are within the scope of this task force should be tagged with the U.S. Roads WikiProject banner, U.S. Roads WikiProject. Any other articles within the scope of this task force should be tagged with the task force banner, WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Route 66. Either of these will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories.
