WikiProject New York City is a project to better organize information in articles related to New York City. This page and its subpages contain the suggestions and opinions of interested contributors; it is hoped that this project will help to focus and coordinate the efforts of all.
To help, please inquire on the discussion page and see the to-do list there.
Scope
This WikiProject aims primarily to coordinate, organize and develop all Wikipedia activities concerning the Big Apple.
Parentage
The parent of this WikiProject is WikiProject Cities / WikiProject U.S. cities, though its relevance is somewhat limited vis-a-vis documenting a single very large city and the many unofficial communities that it is made up of.
At a state level, the parent of this project is WikiProject New York.

General strategy and discussion forums
- Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City/General
- Wikipedia:WikiProject New York City/Strategy
- This page has been created to help fill in some of the gaps in Wikipedia's coverage of the city. Some are persistent red links or unfortunate obvious omissions, others have been requested elsewhere on Wikipedia. There is also a list of those hopeful articles that fall just short of full greatness, and await only some finishing touches.
Editors are encouraged to add new requests in the appropriate section.
Please also help answer a large set of implicit requests by expanding some of the NYC-stubs.
Requests for uncreated articles
West Side, Manhattan - J. J. Byrne Memorial Bridge - Wealth in New York City - Billionaires in New York City - Penthouses in New York City - Macdougal Street
- Nathaniel Woodhull - NY militia general killed in the Battle of Long Island
- History of New York City's Mayoral Elections because a well-informed, coherent narrative is needed to accompany all the numbers and shorter comments in the already-huge New York City mayoralty elections, now gradually approaching completion. Also separate articles or sub-articles about any Mayoral election before 1997 (particularly 1901, 1913, 1933, 1965, 1969, 1989 & 1993).
- Soundview Park (Bronx) and Ferry Point Park (Bronx), both built in 1937 by Robert Moses; basic info available at Your Park (NYC Dept of Parks & Rec); see also The Bronx#Parks and open space and Category:Parks in the Bronx
- Queens Plaza, Queens
- Commercial Field - home of Brooklyn Horsemen of first American Football League in 1926. The stadium existed then; it might not now. The Horsemen merged with the Brooklyn Lions of the NFL in 1926 and "folded" later that year.

Wall Street (Manhattan) - 42nd Street (Manhattan) - 1939 New York World's Fair - New York City Council - Bloomberg Tower - New York City Hotels - Brooklyn Paramount Theater - New York City steam system - Michael Mukasey - Staten Island Technical High School - New York City Department of Correction

In an effort to assess NYC articles for possible inclusion in Wikipedia:1.0, an assessment page was started for this project. Details about how to assess an article and how to request an assessment are on the /Assessment page. Information on articles is tabulated by a bot, resulting in a worklist and the table we see at the right.
