Wikipedia:WikiProject University of Pennsylvania

Description

The WikiProject would focus on improving all University of Pennsylvania articles. Pages in the category would include all undergraduate and graduate schools, student life, residential areas, notable faculty, etc. Should notable former students be included (i.e. Warren Buffett)?

Why do you want to start a new group, instead of joining one of these existing groups?: The University of Pennsylvania is the oldest University in the United States. The history and diversity of related content makes it much to big of an issue for a broad WikiProject to deal with. Ryan Vesey Review me! 06:54, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Discussion

I'm just going to go ahead an create the project. I can search for participants myself, but would like it to appear outside of my namespace so it is easier to create subpages. Ryan Vesey Review me! 16:18, 19 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Question: I'm not opposed to the idea by any means, but do you think this might be better as a task force of WikiProject Pennsylvania as opposed to its own separate WikiProject? — Hun ter Ka hn 23:09, 23 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

What change would be created by making it a task force? I'm just curious because I don't fully understand the difference. Ryan Vesey Review me! 14:32, 26 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]
