Wikivoyage:Massachusetts Expedition

The Massachusetts Expedition is a Wikivoyage Expedition to promote and coordinate collaboration to improve Wikivoyage's articles pertaining to Massachusetts. If you'd like to join the effort, please add your signature to the bottom of the page!

Outline to Usable
I would like to propose the aim of getting all articles to usable status. Yes this is a lot of work but it is doable. Preference should be given to all municipalities that receive MBTA local bus service (generally 5 to 10 miles from Boston). In the table above low hanging fruit are in the "needs only" row, these are cities that either just need a listing in one section or need an improved Get in section. Once a good number of these have been enhance the sub-regions can them be improved and promoted to usable. Would be good to get an "Sleep" listing and content in the "Get in" of every article.

Usable to Guide
All Greater Boston municipalities that have MBTA key bus or subway service, should be improved to Guide status. Current articles not yet at Guide status.
 * Arlington
 * Watertown
 * Chelsea
 * Everett
 * Quincy
 * Milton
 * Revere
 * Malden
 * Medford
 * Newton

Key destinations that should be guides but still needs some more content and work done on them.

Other candidates that could with just a little effort be guide status:

Current articles under discussion and work in progress
Articles that are currently being worked on or under discussion such as merge or delete. Or articles you wish to bring to other attention.

Discussions should take place on the talk page of the article, this is just to highlight activity.


 * Reorganization of regions, see Talk:Massachusetts.
 * Swansea (Massachusetts) - listings need sorting out
 * Move listings out of region articles, for example Martha's Vineyard.
 * Merge Millbury into Worcester (Massachusetts)
 * Merge Berlin (Massachusetts), Boylston, Bolton (Massachusetts), Lancaster (Massachusetts) and Sterling (Massachusetts) into Clinton (Massachusetts)
 * Plymouth Colony is an extra hierarchical region with next to no content. Delete, merge, keep, expand or what?

 * merge Melrose (Massachusetts) into Malden
 * merge Cape Cod sub regions
