[[Image:Parliament house1.jpg|thumb|Welcome to WikiProject Canberra!]]

Some [[Wikipedia:Wikipedians|Wikipedian]]s have formed a [[Wikipedia:WikiProject|project]] to better organise information in articles related to '''Canberra''' and the '''Australian Capital Territory'''.  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]] and see the [[Wikipedia:to-do list|to-do list]] there.

Also visit the [[Wikipedia:Australian wikipedians' notice board|Australian Wikipedians' noticeboard]] for collaboration on Australian articles in general.

==Title==
'''WikiProject on the city of [[Canberra]], [[Australia]]'''

This [[WikiPedia:WikiProject|WikiProject]] aims primarily to create, fill out, build, edit, construct, modify articles about '''[[Canberra]]'''. Canberra is Australia's capital city and has many places of interest, significant events and interesting people that have helped form the unique character and style of the city. The project has also been expanded to cover the rest of the '''[[Australian Capital Territory]]'''.
