List of municipalities in New Mexico

 * Nominator(s): Mattximus (talk) 21:52, 10 April 2018 (UTC)

I am continuing my attempt at standardizing all list of municipalities in North America. Thanks to the reviews of many wikipedians, this will be the 18th such nomination after 17 successful runs (such as: Montana, Alabama) and I believe this article is a complete and comprehensive list of all municipalities in New Mexico.

I have modeled this list off of recently promoted lists so it should be of the same high standard. I've incorporated suggestions from past reviews to make this nomination go as smoothly as possible. I hope I caught them all. The lead made need some tightening up, but nothing that can't be done in the nomination process. Please let me know if there is anything else that can be added to perfect this list. Thanks again for your input. Mattximus (talk) 21:52, 10 April 2018 (UTC)


 * The population columns sort alphabetically rather than numerically; might be because some rows have dashes instead of numbers. Each article for those three places has a value for population, so something really should be included with a note.
 * ✅ I couldn't make the dashes sort despite by best efforts (apparently the template sort dash does not work), so I've made it standard with the other lists with a note on each municipality that has a blank space.
 * You should be able to make the columns sortable by adding  to each use of the Change template – you'd then be able to put the en dashes back in (which, personally, I think look better than the blank cells). A Thousand Doors (talk &#124; contribs) 11:15, 24 May 2018 (UTC)


 * I'd also love to see a map in the style this one that actually depicts cites and towns in these article, or at least one with major cities labeled. Surely there's something from a free government source that's better than the useless national state maps.
 * Me too! Please let me know if you find one. I managed to find one for most states but could not find one for New Mexico.


 * The forms of government should use a dash, not a hyphen. Reywas92Talk 02:12, 23 April 2018 (UTC) ✅

Thanks for the review Reywas92! All comments addressed. Mattximus (talk) 22:30, 26 April 2018 (UTC)
 * Support; though here's a possible map to include that has cities: File:National atlas new mexico cropped.png. Reywas92Talk 19:26, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * Support - couldn't really find anything else beyond the above. you reviewed this nomination a while back; are you satisfied with the responses/prepared to support/oppose? -- Pres  N  19:19, 16 May 2018 (UTC)


 * "Mayor‐Council system can be upgraded to a commission/manager municipality by vote if the population exceeds 3,000" Two problems, vote of the council or the population, and second, why are we calling this an "upgrade"?  That's all I'm seeing. Courcelles (talk) 17:47, 22 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Fixed both, good catches. Thanks Courcelles! Mattximus (talk) 23:03, 24 May 2018 (UTC)'
 * Support. Courcelles (talk) 13:18, 25 May 2018 (UTC)

Comments by Dudley

 * "funding of fire protection and transit" What does transit mean? Is it USAmer for what is called public transport in the UK or maybe for road maintenance? ✅
 * "office of manager with identical powers to the manager in a commission/manager municipality" There does not seem any point in saying powers are identical when you have not said what their powers are in a commission/manager municipality. ✅
 * "A manager in both cases is not-elected and administers the hiring/firing of municipal employees" The hyphen is not grammatical. (I would put this explanation higher up before the identical powers comment.)✅
 * Yes your way is much more logical, rearranged and reworded accordingly.


 * You might take the census figures for the city of Anthony as the city website says that it is the same as the municipality.✅
 * Great catch, I added the figures, but kept a note saying that the totals are for incorporated places only.


 * Looks fine. Dudley Miles (talk) 21:02, 23 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Thanks Dudley Miles for the excellent catches, I believe I have made them all. Mattximus (talk) 23:00, 24 May 2018 (UTC)
 * Support. Dudley Miles (talk) 08:50, 25 May 2018 (UTC)
