Welcome to WikiProject North America. Several Wikipedians have formed this collaboration resource and group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of North America and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions and various resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians interested in the topic. If you would like to help, please join the project, inquire on the talk page and see the to-do list below.

Goals

To balance articles with transnational scope, which currently have focus on one region or country
To reduce content conflicts from national points-of-view on shared issues between nations of North America
To expand coverage on North American topics that predate the establishment of the countries and states of North America

Scope

North America (including Canada, United States, Mexico, Greenland, Saint-Pierre-et-Miquelon, Gulf of Mexico, the Grand Banks, Georges Bank, Laurentian Abyss, continental shelf (outside of Russia)).
Covers historical entities that existed before the modern nations and states came about.
Covers transnational issues and regions that cross international borders.
Offers regional supranational coordination for North American issues that are not restricted to one nation.
