US Collaboration reactivated & Portal:United States starting next

Casliber recently posted a suggestion on the talk page for WikiProject United States about getting the US Wikipedians Collaboration page going again in an effort to build up articles for GA through FA class. See Wikipedia:U.S. Wikipedians' notice board/USCOTM. After several days of work from him the page is up and ready for action. A few candidates have already been added for you to vote on or you can submit one using the directions provided. If you are looking for inspiration here is a link to the most commonly viewed articles currently under the scope of Wikiproject United States. There are tons of good articles in the various US related projects as well so feel free to submit any article relating to US topics (not just those under the scope of WPUS). This noticeboard is intended for ‘’’All’’’ editors working on US subjects, not just those under WPUS.

The next item I intend to start updating is Portal:United States if anyone is interested in helping. Again this is not specific to WPUS and any help would be greatly appreciated to maximize visibility of US topics. The foundation has already been established its just a matter of updating the content with some new images, biographies and articles. Please let leave a comment on the Portals talk page or let me know if you have any questions or ideas. --Kumioko (talk) 19:13, 15 January 2011 (UTC)

Suggestion for WikiProject United States to support Louisiana, New Orleans, Louisiana Tech and Shreveport

It was recently suggested that WikiProjects New Orleans, Louisiana, Louisiana Tech and the Shreveport task force be included in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the main page as well as the talk pages of these projects it appears that there has been little to no activity on most of them although it is evident that several editors have been trying to get some of these projects going again. I think that if we added these projects to the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States it would help them tremendously by taking advantage of the infrastucture (like the Collaboration space, Newsletter, the bots that are running, etc) already in place for WPUS. Please feel free to contact me if there are any comments or questions. --Kumioko (talk) 17:41, 12 September 2011 (UTC)

Ok since its been about 18 days since this message was left with no response I am going to go ahead and add this project to the supported projects list of WikiProject United States. --Kumioko (talk) 19:55, 30 September 2011 (UTC)
