WikiProject Germany

Willkommen to WikiProject Germany! We are a group of editors dedicated to the expansion and refinement of Wikipedia’s coverage of the German republic, people, monuments and culture. If you wish to join us, simply sign your name on our roster.

Should you have any questions about our project, just drop us a line on our discussion page. If you’re lucky, you might even find some fellow project members in the Wikipedia IRC chat (#wikipedia-en). If you speak German, you may want to also try the German Wikipedia chatroom (#wikipedia-de).

Scope

This project covers the creation and editing of articles related to the nation of Germany, its cities, counties, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Germany in a fair and accurate manner.
