Welcome to '''WikiProject Missouri'''.  We are a board of editors committed to the proper exposition of information about the [[U.S. state]] of [[Missouri]] throughout [[Wikipedia]].  Our primary goal is to [[research]] and provide the most accurate and detailed information about Missouri and its history, society, people, places, culture and spirit.  This mission is accomplished in our writing without regard for our personal biases, professing an obedience to [[NPOV|neutrality]] in language, ideas and thoughts while respecting the diversity of opinions on each article subject.  Our end is to educate all visitors to this academic and encyclopedic forum.  Through the creation of WikiProject Missouri, we aspire to improve and coordinate the efforts of subordinate projects such as [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Columbia, Missouri|WikiProject Columbia, Missouri]], [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Kansas City|WikiProject Kansas City]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject St. Louis|WikiProject St. Louis]] among others.
