Any articles that are within the scope of this project should be tagged with ((WikiProject United States|class=|importance=|USTV=yes|USTV-importance=)) banner. The resulting article ratings are used within the project to help in recognizing excellent contributions and identifying topics in need of further work. They also play a role in the WP:1.0 program, which the WikiProject uses to help automate some of the assessing process.

• The template should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar. It looks like this:
