Wikipedia:WikiProject United States History/Collaboration

The United States History collaboration is a coordinated effort by WikiProject United States History to improve Wikipedia's U.S. history-related content. However, being a member of WikiProject United States History is not a prerequisite for participation in this collaboration (nor, of course, is participation a requirement for membership in the WikiProject). All Wikipedians, regardless of their level of expertise on the subject, are welcome to contribute.

Aside from the main benefit of creating better bird articles on Wikipedia, it is hoped that the successful execution of this initiative will a) Attract new editors to work on the Project; b) Improve the writing skills of existing editors; and c) Demonstrate the value of collaboration on Wikipedia. The ultimate goal of the United States History Collaboration is to get at least one U.S. history or related article featured every couple of months. This is currently a draft to see how well it would work.
