Welcome to WikiProject Indianapolis. This project was formed on November 26, 2007 when some Wikipedians adopted this as a project 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 project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic.
