1. Maintain and further develop Outline of British Columbia which provides a bird's eye view of this subject. (You can also use it as a watchlist, by clicking on "Related changes" on the sidebar menu while viewing the outline).
2. Can we make British Columbia a Featured Article(FA) ??
3. Expand articles listed in:
   • Category:British Columbia stubs
   • Category:British Columbia geography stubs
   • Especially those found in the lists at Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/British Columbia articles by quality that are High or Mid importance but are still only Stub or Start quality.
   • Stubs in Category:Provincial Parks of British Columbia.
4. Organize list structure and add to list of needed articles:
   • WikiProject British Columbia/Article requests
5. Check for and do needed articles at:
   • WikiProject British Columbia/Article requests
6. Establish collaborations and improvements for British Columbia related articles
7. For Photo Requests, add {{reqphoto|in=British Columbia}} to the talk page. (see {{reqphoto}})
8. For Map Requests Use {{reqmapin|British Columbia}} on talk page of articles needing maps which will list maps needed at: Category:Wikipedia requested maps in British Columbia. As an alternative using {{coord|50|28|N|126|05|W|display=title|region:CA_type:waterbody}}, for example, as it appears on Johnstone Strait gives a link to map/sat images that is a reasonable alternative. See {{coord}} for more information. Also consider adding link to BC Government place name database using {{BCGNIS}} template.
9. Assessments
   • Review existing assessment of articles and reassess following WikiProject British Columbia/Assessment

13. Browse the BC New Articles page to see what the bot has found.
14. Add BCProject template to articles within project scope. Use {{WikiProject Canada|bc=yes|class=Stub|importance=low}} following the assessment guidelines (importance = low, mid, high or top, class = stub, start, b, ga, a or fa).
