Wikitravel:Florida Expedition

Florida current status: Usable

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

Rationale

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

Goals

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

1. Improve the quality of the Florida article itself, by adding images, graphics, and prose
2. Improve all linked destinations to at least usable status

Current priorities
