Executive branch
You requested at my talk page that I be your mentor and I'm happy to oblige=D. You stated that you plan to be editing the executive (government) article for your US History class. Please be aware that that article (executive (government)) is a general article for the concept of executive branch in government and that it should not be specific to the US.

Instead, I suggest that you create an article at Executive Branch of the United States which currently redirects to Federal government of the United States. Surprisingly, there doesn't actually seem to be a dedicated article for the US executive branch. To help you get started, you may copy relevant material from other articles such as Federal government of the United States, executive (government), Portal:Government of the United States/Executive branch, and relevant articles in Category:Executive branch of the United States government into the article you'll be making at Executive Branch of the United States.

Also, the redirect currently receives about 1500 page views per month so there will be quite a few real people will be viewing your work when you're done! If you have any questions, feel free to post them here or at my talk page. Smallman12q (talk) 00:39, 16 December 2010 (UTC)


 * Our team is willing to create the article Executive Branch of the United States. Can you suggest where we should start? Nicholasc1 (talk) 14:59, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
 * Sure. I've copied over the contents of Federal_government_of_the_United_States to User:Nicholasc1/Executive_Branch_of_the_United_States(a userpage). You may edit the article at User:Nicholasc1/Executive_Branch_of_the_United_States as you see fit to for the topic. When you believe the article is ready, you may move the article to Executive Branch of the United States (or let me know if you and I'll move it for you). The article at User:Nicholasc1/Executive_Branch_of_the_United_States is in your userspace, so if you mess up, it won't be with a "live" article. If you have any questions, or need help, let me know.Smallman12q (talk) 16:50, 22 December 2010 (UTC)
