Clean up main page and move University office statement Articles to create: Pasquerilla Spiritual Center, more Articles to improve: Penn State IFC/Panhellenic Dance Marathon, Penn State Nittany Lions men's basketball, Hetzel Union Building, Nittany Lions, more Articles needing images: List of Penn State residence halls, gallery List of all tagged articles

Welcome! This WikiProject will focus on creating and improving articles related to the Pennsylvania State University, including the university's history, academics, student life, people, and more.

We at Penn State's Office of University Relations are updating the pages. We know this may present a conflict of interest, so we are doing our best to be fair and accurate with our revisions. We're also trying to make the articles as comprehensive as possible. Our latest revision of the OVERVIEW section is posted at the talk page. Currently, we're working on the HISTORY section of the main article. We appreciate your feedback.

Our goals remain the same as in the original project, specifically:

To improve Wikipedia's coverage of Penn State, and ultimately bring Penn State to featured article status.
To organize all Penn State-related articles into the Penn State category and appropriate subcategories so that they can be found easily.

Check out the talk page to join in the discussion of how we can attain these goals!

Guidelines

Make sure that all PSU articles have {{Penn State}} on the talk page
Be sure to cite your sources when you are writing articles
Upload free-use images (GFDL, PD, CC-BY-SA) to the Wikimedia Commons, not Wikipedia, so they can be used by other language Wikipedia projects
Utilize the College and university article guidelines for stylistic concerns until we develop a comprehensive style for the project
