GoalsEdit

This WikiProject aims to help organize and contribute to the growing collection of articles about California.

This can be achieved by:

Develop: Improve and maintain articles that are on the worklist, cleanup list, or requested on the project talk page.

Coordinate:

Tag all California-relevant articles with {{WikiProject California}}, and assess and prioritize articles missing assessment or importance values.
Categorize California related articles, including with stub tags and navigation boxes.

Support: Invite more users to join with {{subst:Cal Invitation}} and assist them whenever possible.
