Welcome to the Indianapolis Department. This department was created April 14, 2010, after WikiProject Indianapolis became inactive. Its goal is to better manage information in articles related to the city of Indianapolis in the U.S. state of Indiana. 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.

• Organize all articles having anything to do with Indianapolis.
• Improve Indianapolis article to Featured Article status.
• Improve any Indianapolis article that needs it, creating any not already created.
• Make sure that every Indianapolis article meets Wikipedia guidelines
• Improve every stub article to at least a Start rating
• Improve all top rated Indianapolis articles to at least a B rating

The scope of this WikiProject is any article dealing with Indianapolis or Marion County. The Project hopes to create, assess, and include every article having to do with Indianapolis or its immediate neighborhoods.
