Maryland current status: Usable

The Maryland Expedition is a Wikitravel Expedition to promote and coordinate collaboration to improve Wikitravel's articles pertaining to the US state of Maryland. If you'd like to join the effort, please add your signature to the bottom of the page!

[edit] Rationale

Viewed by itself, improving Wikitravel coverage of an US state is a daunting task. This difficulty is exemplified by the fact that Wikitravel lacks a single region article of guide level status! This Expedition exists to to clarify exactly what needs to be done in pursuit of our goals for Maryland and related articles, identify avenues for potential collaboration, and generate enthusiasm towards achieving our goal.

[edit] Goals

The main goal of the Maryland Expedition is to achieve Guide status for the Maryland state article. In pursuit of this goal, we must:

  1. Improve the quality of the Maryland article itself, by overhauling the understand, get in, get around, and see sections
  2. Improve all linked destinations to at least usable status

[edit] Current priorities

[edit] Maryland article

  1. Find/add great iconic images of Maryland (especially needed: Annapolis Rock, Chesapeake Bay, Annapolis buildings)

[edit] Linked destinations

Featured collaboration: Chesapeake Bay

This region page has been a sore spot on Wikitravel for too long. And in fact, it only needs some good prose in the main sections to be usable, and that shouldn't be too hard for such a unique and interesting destination. Needs:

  • "Prosify" see & eat sections
  • Add prose to Do and Drink (name good locations along the Bay for nightlife/bars

[edit] Article status chart

The following chart shows the current status of all linked destinations, which must be at least usable status in order for the Maryland article to achieve guide status.
