This page provides support to Wikipedia editors who want to develop articles related to legislation in the United States Congress as it makes laws within the Federal Government of the United States. This project is an outgrowth of a conference in March 2013 in Washington DC: Wikipedia:Meetup/DC/Legislative Data Workshop. Wikipedia is the sixth most popular website[1] and constitutes the Internet's largest and most popular general reference work.[2][3][4] As of 2014, it has 18 billion page views and nearly 500 million unique visitors each month.[5] Americans already use it daily to find out information about current proposed legislation and existing public laws. This project is devoted to increasing and improving Wikipedia's coverage of those laws.
