Welcome to WikiProject Overseas France. The aim of this project is to bring together editors working on articles related to the current Overseas France with an aim of improving and expanding all aspects of the colonies. This project was founded on 10 July 2015. It has two sister projects, WikiProject British Overseas Territories and WikiProject United States Territories.

Please note that this WikiProject should only cover all of the present overseas departments: former colonies do not count.

Importance criteria

Importance scale

Below is the importance criteria for Wikiproject French Overseas Departments. Articles tagged with {{WikiProject French Overseas Departments}} should be assessed for the project. The importance of an article varies on the importance of itself to be tagged with a High, Mid or Low importance.

High	Larger settlements and places of interest in any territory, as well as notable battles or history-related articles	Port Louis, Cayenne, Guiana Space Centre
Mid	Smaller settlements and areas, including schools, military bases or dockyards.	Canton of Petit-Bourg, Kourou, Roura
