WikiProject KYOVA Region began on September 27, 2006 to coordinate work and expand coverage of the region marked from Portsmouth, Ohio southeast, encompassing Ironton, Ohio, Ashland, Kentucky, and east towards Huntington, West Virginia. It is not strictly defined by those borders, so any regional supporters, such as Teays Valley, West Virginia, for instance, can be included.
As of 20 August 2024, there are 247 articles within the scope of WikiProject KYOVA Region, of which 0 are featured. This makes up 0% of the articles on Wikipedia and 0% of featured articles and lists. Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 604 pages in the project.
Anyone who is interested in contributing, please sign up below and discuss any ideas/suggestions or leave comments on the talk page. If you feel that any articles need attention or need some TLC, please feel free to add them to the tasks section below.

Open tasks
editRequested pages
edit- I expanded upon Htgn Institutions but there are some redlinks. I can't tell if some, like the MU Medical Center, are part of Cabell-Huntington or if it deserves its own separate page.
- Big Sandy Superstore furniture company located in Wheelersburg, Ohio.
- I doubt that they would pass WP:CORP. youngAmerican (ahoy-hoy) 13:05, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Huntington-Ashland, WV-KY-OH, Metropolitan Statistical Area page was added, but it needs more work and information. Also, linked it with a redirect from the kyova page. The metro page was also added to the navigation templates for the states of West Virginia, Kentucky, and Ohio. Campaigner444 01:38, 13 June 2007 (UTC)
Specific needs
edit- Expand the park/outdoor attractions section of Huntington, West Virginia.
- Expand or renovate Ironton, Ohio and Portsmouth, Ohio. I've reorganised it in accordance to other city pages, such as Louisville, Huntington, Lexington, and Cincinnati. More work needs to be done in the way of expansion and cleanup.
Recently completed
edit- Ashland, Kentucky: Expanded nearly every section, esp. history; reconstructed the Police Controversies section per notice; added Cityscape of Ashland, Kentucky.
- King's Daughters Medical Center: Added the page with extensive, sourced history. Future section could stand to have more, though.
