Welcome to the U.S. Route 66 Task Force, a joint collaboration between the U.S. Roads and U.S. History WikiProjects. The goal is to create, improve and expand the content related to the Mother Road on Wikipedia.

Scope

U.S. Route 66 should cover not just the highway, but the mark it left on the country and the people who lived along it. For popular culture works, it should cover the work and not the people who wrote or performed it unless they're indelibly linked. For example,

Route 66 (song) would fall under the scope, but Bobby Troup

, who wrote the song, would not.

✓ Topics within the scope

The highway itself
Neighborhoods and small towns
Important buildings
Important people
Popular culture

✗ Topics outside the scope

Large cities
Vehicles
Authors and singers

Participants

Guidelines

Tagging and assessment

Any road articles that are within the scope of this task force should be tagged with the

WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Route 66

}}. Either of these will automatically put the page in the appropriate categories.

Templates

Main project templates: {{WikiProject U.S. Roads}} – for articles already under the scope of USRD, invoked as {{WikiProject U.S. Roads|type=US66}}; {{WikiProject U.S. Roads/U.S. Route 66 }} – for all other articles

Userbox template: {{Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Roads/Userbox US 66}}

This user is helping Wikipedia get its kicks on Route 66.
