About the Boston WikiProject Some Wikipedians have formed a project to better organize information in articles related to the Hub of the Universe, Boston, and several of the cities surrounding Boston. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the Discussion Page, see the Task list below or just start editing articles and link them to the project using the {{WikiProject United States|Boston=yes}} banner. Scope This WikiProject aims to provide a centralized location for the discussion of standards for work on articles relating to the City of Boston and several surrounding cities in Wikipedia. This covers but is not limited to its history, culture, sports and other topics.
