Most Wikipedians would prefer to just work on articles of their own interest. But if you have some free time to spare, here are some open tasks that you may want to help out :

Cleanup tag
Cleanup just means that the article should conform to the style guide. What you added should be formatted better to make it easier to read. I'm not a style expert, but I can try to reformat one entry for you. Being a stub just means that more information is needed. My guess is that many of those pages will wait a long time before anything else is added. I'll do a little formatting on Seligman so you can get some ideas. Keep up the good work of digging up information to get peoper articles started. Vegaswikian 07:50, 21 Apr 2005 (UTC)

Greetings from Albuquirckee! I notice there is no Senator Carl Hatch article yet, but there is a Hatch Act of 1939 article. Perhaps you may be interested. ThanksNobs01 18:53, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks for the quick response. the Hatch Act of 1939 is of interest to me cause I'm currently working on the Ware group.  And I know membership in the CPUSA among government employees was illegal prior to the Hatch Act, but I can't put my finger on the specific law (Ware group was in existence as early as 1933).  So if you come across any pre-Hatch Act legislation, please let me know.  Thanks!Nobs01 19:11, 21 Jun 2005 (UTC)

Excellant work. I'm just aboput to incorporate it into Campaign finance reform now. Thank you very much. Nobs01 20:03, 23 Jun 2005 (UTC)

re: Congresses
Hi, and thanks for your input. I agree entirely with your point about the format of the Senate lists—I did it that way at first. I chose the format I did because A) First United States Congress had already been designed as "the" template, and B) the Contents list gets really excessively long, I think, with the 99th Congress format. I'm not really worried about (A) anymore, as the old WikiProject seems to have died. Is there a way to layout a page basically like the 99th Congress, but without the 150+ entries in the Contents? Thanks! Eweisser 23:22, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)

User categorization
Greetings! Your user page hasn't been vandalized :-) --it was updated to use the new User Categorization scheme. I have categorized your User Page as a Wikipedian in New Mexico (Category:Wikipedians in New Mexico) since your name was listed on the Wikipedia:Wikipedians/New Mexico page.  The Wikipedia:Wikipedians/New Mexico page is scheduled for deletion.  Thanks!   Roby Wayne  Talk &bull;  Hist 01:07, 8 September 2005 (UTC)

1st District
I like your table for the first district. I've taken the liberty of adjusting the page format slightly to better display the map. I will also adjust the footnotes, but in general, great work... Thanks Lou I 22:21, 6 November 2005 (UTC)

Image Tagging Image:1900 New Mexico Capitol.JPG
Thanks for uploading Image:1900 New Mexico Capitol.JPG. I notice the image page currently doesn't specify who created the image, so the copyright status is therefore unclear. If you have not created the image yourself then you need to argue that we have the right to use the image on Wikipedia (see copyright tagging below). If you have not created the image yourself then you should also specify where you found it, i.e., in most cases link to the website where you got it, and the terms of use for content from that page.

If the image also doesn't have a copyright tag then you must also add one. If you created/took the picture then you can use GFDL to release it under the GFDL. If you believe the image qualifies as fair use, please read fair use, and then use a tag such as or one of the other tags listed at Image copyright tags. See Image copyright tags for the full list of copyright tags that you can use.

If you have uploaded other images, please check that you have specified their source and copyright tagged them, too. You can find a list of image pages you have edited by clicking on the "my contributions" link (it is located at the very top of any Wikipedia page when you are logged in), and then selecting "Image" from the dropdown box. Note that any unsourced and untagged images will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. Thank you.

Coming to New Mexico
Howdy, friend! Excellent work on NM-related articles. I just wanted to say hey since I might find myself, a lifelong New Yorker, transplanted out west 'round Albuquerque. This isn't definite, but having been to Albuquerque once I can say that I like it very much and it's as good a place as any to relocate to...if you would like to talk about New Mexico or Wikipedia or whatever feel free to leave me a message, if I do relocate I'm going to need to get to know some people.

NM
I'm surprised I haven't noticed you until now. I wanted to thank you for starting the Thomas Catron article, (which has been on my list for a while, but apparently I had just never searched it with his middle initial--make redirects homie!) when I noticed how much you've done on NM. I've done a few articles on the state myself (Sandia Pueblo, Carson National Forest, Rini Templeton, Reies Tijerina) and I just started one in which you may be interested: Spanish Governors of New Mexico. We're going to need a list of Mexican governors, too, and I've got a small one going. Keep up the good work, --Rockero 12:01, 23 March 2006 (UTC)
