Credit where it's due
[edit]This Project is clearly a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Delaware, which in itself is a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Massachusetts, which, in turn, is a blatant rip-off of WikiProject Vermont, for which the creator of WP:WPDE (as I'm sure the other usurpers, as well) is eternally grateful, yet remoseful all at once.
