Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] to better organize information in articles related to the [[U.S. state]] of '''[[California]]'''. This page and its subpages contain their suggestions; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of other Wikipedians. If you would like to help, please inquire on the [[{{NAMESPACE}} talk:{{PAGENAME}}|talk page]].

===User categorisation===
California Wikipedians should add one of the following categories to the bottom of their User page:
 
:<nowiki>[[Category:Wikipedians in California|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>
:<nowiki>[[Category:Wikipedians in Northern California|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>
:<nowiki>[[Category:Wikipedians in Central California|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>
:<nowiki>[[Category:Wikipedians in Southern California|{{PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>
<br>
This will put your User page into either [[:Category:Wikipedians in California]], [[:Category:Wikipedians in Northern California]], [[:Category:Wikipedians in Central California]] or [[:Category:Wikipedians in Southern California]].
 
===User Boxes===
Instead of just adding the category to your user page, you could add the [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|Userbox]] for Californians {{tl|User California}} to your user page, which will also add your user page to the Wikipedians in California category.
 
 
{{User California|category=}}
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
 
To identify youself specifically with this WikiProject, if you don't live in California or if you want your userboxes to represent your work on Wikipedia, you can add the {{[[Wikipedia:WikiProject_California/Userbox]]}} userbox to your page. It will look like this, but with a link back to this page:
 
 
{{Wikipedia:WikiProject_California/Userbox}}
<div style="clear: both"></div>
 
 
If you prefer not to use [[Wikipedia:Userboxes|userboxes]], but still want to be listed in the category for [[:Category:WikiProject California participants|WikiProject California participants]] you place the following tag at the bottom of your user page:
:<nowiki>[[Category:WikiProject California participants|{{subst:PAGENAME}}]]</nowiki>

==Images==
WikiProject California uses [[:Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in California]] to monitor all California articles that may benefit from additional images. In addition, Wikipedian photographers living in California use the subcategories at Category:Wikipedia requested photographs in California to locate those subjects near where they typically take photographs. The "imageneeded=" and "in=" parameters of {{tl|WikiProject California}} populate this category.
 
* To request an image for an article, use the "imageneeded=yes" parameter in the {{tl|WikiProject California}} article talk page template. Please use the "in=" parameter in the {{tl|WikiProject California}} template to specify the California county where the photograph may be taken. Up to three locations may be specified, such as ''<nowiki>{{WikiProject California|class=Start|importance=Low|imageneeded=yes|in=Los Angeles County, California|in2=Orange County, California|in3=Sacramento County, California|nested=yes|unref=yes}}</nowiki>''
 
* If you need to specify four or more locations (such as a road passing through eight California counties), use {{tl|reqphoto}} and its multiple "in=" parameters.
 
* GIMP map of California highlighting counties are available in [[Image:California map showing counties (source).xcf.gz]].
