Feeling lost? Feel free to ask for help on the project's [[Wikipedia_talk:WikiProject_Apple_Inc.|talk page]].

First, if you want to start small, you may want to start with easier things, like finding citations or copyediting. For help on how to do those things, check out [[Help:Introduction]].

If you're feeling more ambitious, feel free to check out the project's list of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Apple Inc./Showcase|Vital articles]]. Currently, 64 Apple-related articles are considered [[Wikipedia:Vital articles|vital encyclopedic content]]. Please help us improve those articles! You're also welcome to help bring any article to [[WP:Good article|Good article]] status!

== Resources & templates ==
{{main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Apple Inc./Resources}}

== Scope ==
Tag articles by adding {{tlx|WikiProject Apple Inc.}} to its talk page, inside {{tlx|WikiProject banner shell}} if present. Articles should be tagged if they contain significant Apple-related content we should maintain, or if such material needs to be added.

*All articles related to Apple products, software, and services
*All articles related to Apple Inc., including Apple executives and employees
*All articles related to ''companies'' that are '''significant to Apple history'''. This includes:
**Companies that made Apple-exclusive software/hardware, like [[The Omni Group]], [[Panic Inc.]], and [[Ambrosia Software]]
**Companies that had notable ties to Apple like [[Adobe Inc.]], [[Akamai Technologies]], and [[Microsoft]].
*For '''third-party ''apps''''' (not games) for the Mac, iOS, or other Apple platforms:
**Apps that are, or were, exclusive to Apple platforms, like [[OmniFocus]], [[BBEdit]], and [[Carbon Copy Cloner]], are in scope.
**Non-exclusive apps that are significant to Mac history, like [[CodeWarrior]], are also in scope.
**Not in scope: cross-platform apps that lack direct relevance to Apple history. If there's no Apple-related information we can add to an article, tagging us is pointless.
*'''No video games'''! Tag those with [[WP:WikiProject Video games]] instead.
**Only exception: games and consoles made or published by Apple, like [[Apple Pippin]] and [[Vortex (iPod game)]].
