Important disclaimer: A few Wikipedians have got together to make some suggestions about how we might organize data in articles about Melbourne. These are only suggestions, things to give you focus and to get you going, and you shouldn't feel obligated in the least to follow them. But if you don't know what to write or where to begin, following the below guidelines may be helpful. Mainly, we just want you to write articles!

Welcome to the WikiProject Melbourne
This WikiProject is an attempt to fill in, organize, and standardize articles about the city of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia.
Our total progress so far is 11% (Estimate)
We need your help! If you are a Melburnian, or know something about the city, you can:

New articles: Charles La Trobe, Collins Street, Acland Street, QV Village

Also visit the Australian Wikipedians' noticeboard for collaboration on Australian articles in general.

Adopt an article

Similar to the Collaboration of the week, but on a smaller scale, you might want to "adopt" an article. This would involve doing the research, writing, and picture-taking (if possible) for either a non-existant article or a stub. Of course, everyone else can still edit an adopted article, and you can work on other things too, but the idea is to find a focus for a while, to try and build up the number of quality articles the Project has produced.
