Welcome to WikiProject Canada on the English Wikipedia! This project was formed to foster better articles on the country of Canada with a spirit of cooperation. The project is a home base that provides a place for Wikipedians (editors) to discuss issues and share information and resources regarding improvements to Canadian related articles, which can be discussed at the project's talk page. To join WikiProject Canada (anyone may join), simply list your username on the members page.
Our project is dedicated to improving articles and coverage related to Canada in a fair and accurate manner, with an emphasis on subjects with national significance. Some project goals are to help improve vital articles, continue developing quality standards, maintain and expand templates, lists, portals and categories in a manner that helps users browse the articles that fall under this project's scope. Editors are encouraged to participate in the more regional and/or topic specific Canadian Wikiprojects.
As of 29 June 2016, there are 7004952550000000000♠95,255 articles within the scope of WikiProject Canada, of which 7002222000000000000♠222 are featured and 7002510000000000000♠510 are good articles. This makes up 1.84% of the articles on Wikipedia, 2.86% of all featured articles and lists, and 2.08% of all good articles (see: Canadian Featured content). Including non-article pages, such as talk pages, redirects, categories, etcetera, there are 7005261560000000000♠261,560 pages in the project.
