Welcome to the Indianapolis Department. This department was created April 14, 2010, after WikiProject Indianapolis became inactive.

This group is dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of Indianapolis and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this department will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

The following to do list was created for the food deserts editathon, and is preserved here for the to continue working on unfinished tasks:
- To create
- To improve
Article | Notes | Sources |
---|---|---|
Food desert | Article needs a more global focus and could be better organized | |
Food security | ||
Hunger in the United States | ||
Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program | Article needs updated with 2021 policy updates | |
Farmers' markets | Needs more info about history/structure and acceptance of SNAP benefits and other U.S. federal programs. Could try to expand global focus/info, too. | |
Impact of farmers' markets on economies within the United States | ||
Market Wagon | Entry is in good shape, but needs categories. |
|
Indianapolis City Market | Stub. The City Market is described as a food hall, but was once a farmers market. |
|
Marsh Supermarkets | Entry is in good shape, but would benefit from photographs--anyone have one of a store for sale or vacant? | |
Indianapolis White Castle | Entry is not about the food, but could use an update. Current photo? What is the status of the building? Who has used it since 2011? | |
Flanner House | Entry needs an expanded lead. Section on Cleo’s Bodega needs citations. | |
2022 United States infant formula shortage | Entry mentions that Indianapolis is a "Nestlé distribution hub," but that's probably Anderson, Indiana. The entry for Nestlé does not mention its hubs. | |
Indiana State Fair | Entry states that Indiana was the 6th state to establish an "agricultural fair"--needs citation. Entry does not describe role of agriculture in more recent iterations of the fair. | |
National FFA Organization | Entry is in good shape, but mentions that convention will be held in Indianapolis until 2024. That can be updated to 2031. | * https://www.ibj.com/articles/71668-indianapolis-wins-bid-to-host-ffa-convention-through-2031 |
Corteva | Stub. Entry mentions use of beagles in research at this Indiana ag company ... as a "Criticism," but gives the controversy over Dicamba very little mention. |
|
Mycogen Seeds | Entry is a stub. Company was acquired by Corteva and then its lead product was replaced by a different brand. | |
List of U.S. state foods | Indiana does not have a "state food," but it does have a "state pie" and a "state snack." | |
Alcohol laws of Indiana | Stub. This entry does not provide any history or context and merely begins with the 2018 repeal of Sunday sales. | |
Kroger | Entry mentions that Kroger built an "ultra-modern" dairy plant (Crossroads Farms Dairy) in Indianapolis--citation needed. |
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
