Wikipedia:WikiProject United States governors

Welcome to WikiProject United States governors on the English Wikipedia! We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of topics related to US Governor History.

Goals

 * To provide guidelines and recommendations for articles that discuss all the Governors in US History.
 * To improve Wikipedia's coverage of ALL US Governors by creating, expanding, and maintaining such articles.
 * To serve as the central point of discussion of all US Governors in Wikipedia and to help the US.

Scope
The project generally considers any article related to the Governors of the US, to be a valid topic. We will have pages for every governor in US History. Adding information about governors that already have their own pages, and continue to make new articles. Here is a scope of what we plan to do:


 * Discuus what they pursued as governor.
 * Talk About how the state did under the governor
 * The Governors Policies
 * Party Affiliation, (especially during the old days)

Structure
Internally, the project has developed several structural features to help in managing its extensive work:


 * Coordinators, who are responsible for maintaining the administrative aspects of the project.
 * Task forces, which are more informal groups for collaboration on specific areas of US Governor history, such as particular periods of the Governors time in office.

 * The template should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's scope. It looks like this:
