Welcome to the Montana WikiProject. We are a group dedicated to improving Wikipedia's coverage of articles related to the U.S. State of Montana.

  • Goals: The goal of this WikiProject is to provide complete coverage on subjects related to Montana, by expanding articles on people, places, and things resident or native to Montana.
  • Scope: This project proposes to work with all pages related to the state of Montana, its history, geography, and people. All these articles should be included in the Category:Montana or one of its subcategories.
