Change patrol
To ensure that all changes to Kentucky-related pages are sound, and any vandalism reverted, here are "recent changes" pages to aid in that endeavor:
- ALL PROJECT PAGES: Recent changes to all pages included in WikiProject Kentucky, along with associated talk pages (page list updated by a bot on July 1, 2026)
- ALL PROJECT ARTICLES: Just the articles in the above (mainspace pages minus redirects and disambiguation pages) and no associated talk pages, in case you don't care about changes to anything else
- ALL PROJECT CATEGORIES: Just the categories in the above (no associated talk pages), including page categorizations (view what pages are added to or removed from our included categories)
- ALL PROJECT TALK: Just the talk pages in the above
- POPULAR ARTICLES: Recent changes to the top 1,000 most viewed articles included in WikiProject Kentucky (page list updated June 13, 2026)
- MAIN ARTICLE LINKS: Recent changes to all pages linked to from the Kentucky article
- SELECTED ARTICLES: Recent changes to project-covered articles that have priority, get frequent changes or are especially susceptible to vandalism
Articles needing attention
A continuous goal of this project is to improve sub-articles referenced in the Kentucky article as well as any article related to the subject of Kentucky. With the advent of WikiProject Kentucky's assessment system, articles can be flagged for attention or merging using parameters to the project template. For details, please see Wikipedia:WikiProject Kentucky/Assessment#Articles needing attention.
Using the template will add articles needing attention to one of the categories below as appropriate. Please review these categories periodically to see if you can help.
Also, see the full list of all Kentucky-related stubs. Project members should try to improve stubs at least to the point where the stub notices can be removed.
Requested articles
Following are potential articles that project members have requested be created for the Wikipedia. However, if you know of a notable subject for an article that isn't listed here and want to create the article right away, you're more than welcome to proceed.
- Kentucky Confederate Civil War regiments, most of which are not covered yet. The original formation of the Orphan Brigade lists several Kentucky Confederate Units.
- Spanish Conspiracy, once also known as the "Kentucky Conspiracy". How close did Kentucky come to seceding from the US and joining the Spanish Empire? Inquiring minds want to know! Not the same affair as the later Burr conspiracy, though some of the players were the same. , , , , ,
- Longhunter - This article needs a section regarding the long hunters' influence in the early exploration and settlement of Kentucky.
- List of coalfields in Kentucky
- Agriculture in Kentucky (include history)
- Economy of Kentucky
- Green River Area Development District - Seven counties near Owensboro and Henderson coordinate technology & transportation projects, among others, through their fiscal courts (and possibly other bodies?). Would be nice to have coverage of why it exists, whether similar districts exist statewide, and a complete discussion of their history and current role.
- Kentucky Equine Education Project (KEEP)
- Various high schools on the List of high schools in Kentucky
- State Parks and State Forests — Check out the red links in List of Kentucky state parks and List of Kentucky state forests
- National Historic Landmarks in Kentucky - updated May 22, 2007.
- Tennessee Valley Authority - Paradise Fossil Plant The largest Power Plant in Kentucky and one of the largest in the world. I have images inside and out to start a page if anyone wants to!
- Housing in Kentucky
- Philip Perry Price Myddelton — tried to interest farmers and workers to move to Kentucky with creation of Myddelton Tokens (1796 March, almost four years after Kentucky became 15th state of USA), but was arrested for "enticing artificers to emigrate to the United States" (according to pcgs.com) and sentenced to a fine and one year in prison, but was in prison for three years until he raised money to pay his £500 fine (learn.apmex.com). Some pages say Myddleton, but photos of tokens (see both links) say "payable by P.P.P. Myddelton".
- The Lane Report – business news outlet based in Lexington, established in 1985.
- List of Kentucky state historical markers, similar to List of Indiana state historical markers

WikiProject template to do
|
Here are some tasks awaiting attention:
|
In addition to tasks related to work on our project's included pages in the Wikipedia (such as articles), we have tasks related to maintaining and enhancing the project itself, which means its pages and any tools within.
Ongoing maintenance
Watchall maintenance for Change patrol
Our Watchall page (technically now Watchall2) contains the complete list of pages included in our project along with their corresponding talk pages. This page is used in Change patrol, where Wikipedia's Recent changes tool is used to see recent changes to pages linked in the Watchall, and that can be used to police vandalism or otherwise review changes. The Watchall is updated daily by a bot due to the continual churn of new pages being added to the project, pages being deleted from the project, and pages being renamed (moved).
WikiProject improvement
- Develop a guideline for creating new Kentucky-related articles.
