Welcome to the WikiProject page for St. Louis, Missouri and the surrounding Metropolitan Area. These pages allow better collaboration for those interested in contributing to the St. Louis article series on Wikipedia. Please feel free to browse; we would be happy if you would contribute!
Our community is evolving! We are now doing monthly Wikipedia Meetup St. Louis the 2nd Thursday at Venture Cafe when there is not a special event for the month. Our plan is to create a Wikimedia User Group next and move this community to that umbrella. Activity is increasing. Please keep going. We edit together!

NOTE: Our Talk pages for this project and our monthly meetups is still main way to have a discussion, but sometimes you just need faster way to talk and share links, even during meetings in real life.
