Anyone who is interested in contributing, please
sign up below and post any ideas and suggestions on the
Talk page. Also, feel free to edit this page and add any articles that need serious work or that you feel require attention below in the
Tasks section.
This WikiProject aims to coordinate development of and improvements to articles related to Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania and the surrounding metropolitan area in Western Pennsylvania, including Allegheny, Armstrong, Beaver, Butler, Fayette, Washington, and Westmoreland counties.
This works to elevate the Pittsburgh city article to Featured Article status, improve existing Pittsburgh-related articles, and create new articles for Pittsburgh-related subjects that don't have articles yet..
This is an open project that is owned and controlled by all its members. Its open tasks are a compilation generated by many of its members. All concerns with elements of this project should be discussed on the Talk page.

Editors are encouraged to 'patrol' recent changes to those articles related to Pittsburgh and Western Pennsylvania.
A continuous goal of this project is to improve sub-articles referenced in the Pittsburgh city article as well as any article related to the subject of Pittsburgh. This section aims to list the articles with the greatest current need.
Also, see the full list of all Pittsburgh-related stubs. Project members should try to improve stubs at least to the point where the stub notices can be removed.
See the cleanup list on the right for an up-to-date list of articles in need of various, tagged fixes.
A list of articles needing cleanup associated with this project is available. See also the tool's wiki page and the index of WikiProjects.
These are potential articles that project members have requested be created for the Wikipedia. If you know of a notable subject for an article that isn't listed here and want to create the article right away, please do so.
I need a photo of a "sankey brick" for the new Sankey brick article. Can someone on the Southside look around for an old brick stamped "SANKEY"? I no longer live in Pennsylvania.
There are five lists of Pittsburgh area historic landmarks and sites: National Register of Historic Places listings in Allegheny County, Pennsylvania, National Register of Historic Places listings in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, List of City of Pittsburgh historic designations, List of Pittsburgh History and Landmarks Foundation Historic Landmarks, and List of Pennsylvania state historical markers in Allegheny County.
Out of these, the National Register of Historic Places listings in Pittsburgh and City Desigations are fully illustrated. Our goal is to fully illustrate these lists. Here are the images that are needed (and the designation for which list they are need for).
