Welcome to WikiProject California!

I noticed you recently added yourself to our Participants' list, and I wanted to welcome you to our project. Our goal is to facilitate collaboration on California-related articles, and everyone is welcome to join. Here are some suggested activities:

• Discuss with other members at Wikipedia talk:WikiProject California
• Cleanup some of the articles listed for cleanup
• Have a look at the Article alerts

As a member it would be helpful if you would

• Add the project page to your watchlist
• Add yourself to the participant category, either by adding a userbox, or by adding [[Category:WikiProject California participants|((PAGENAME))]] to your userpage.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, or feel free to ask me on my talk page.

Roll call message to check active participants (last roll call was September 10, 2008).

Hello from WikiProject California!

As part of a recent update to our project main page we are conducting a roll call to check which members are still active and interested in working on California related content. If you are still interested in participating, simply move your username from the inactive section of the participant list to the active section. I hope you will find the redesigned project pages helpful, and I wanted to welcome you back to the project. If you want you can take a look at the newly redesigned:

• Main Page
  
• Talk page
  
• Cleanup listing
  
• Template list
  

As well as the existing pages:

• Assessment
  
• Article Worklist
  
• Deletion sorting
  

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, and add it to your watchlist, if it isn't already.

There is also this variant for the San Francisco Bay Area task force, which was last used on August 17, 2008.

Hello from the San Francisco Bay Area task force!

We are conducting a roll call to check which members are still active and interested in working on San Francisco Bay Area related content. There is still a lot of work to do, in particular the hard work of tracking down articles which are not categorized within Category:San Francisco Bay Area or not already included in the task force on their talk pages. If you are still interested in participating, simply move your username from the inactive section of the participant list to the active section. Please take the time to familiarize yourself with our resources:

• Main Page
  
• Talk page
  
• Assessment
  
• New articles
  

If you hadn't already noticed, Portal:San Francisco Bay Area has been revived, after years of inactivity. However, its not going to stay alive on its own.

If you have any questions, don't hesitate to ask at the project talk page, and add it to your watchlist, if it isn't already.

Thanks for your time!
