Welcome to the WikiProject Liberia! This group was formed to better organize articles on
Liberia in a spirit of cooperation.
Scope
This group includes within its scope all articles related to Liberia, its cities, geography, transportation, culture, history and so on. It aims to expand Wikipedia's resources on Liberia in a fair and accurate manner. All of these articles should be contained within the
Category:Liberia or one of its subcategories.
To join WikiProject Liberia, edit this section and add the
Wikitext#{{subst:me}} with your areas of interest to the bottom of the following list of members. Members should also place
member identification on their user page.
This is a list of recognized content, updated weekly by
JL-Bot (
talk·contribs) (typically on Saturdays). There is no need to edit the list yourself. If an article is missing from the list, make sure it is
tagged or
categorized (e.g.
Category:WikiProject Liberia articles) correctly and wait for the next update. See
WP:RECOG for configuration options.
