Requested Deletion Notices
Articles, templates, images, and redirects having to do with New Hampshire currently up for deletion are usually listed at WikiProject Deletion sorting/New Hampshire. Note that this only catches articles from Articles for deletion, but not articles meeting the Criteria for Speedy Deletion, and sometimes misses articles that are Proposed for Deletion. WikiProject New Hampshire/Article alerts, on the other hand, should catch all of these, and more.

Review, Assessment & Statistics
WikiProject New Hampshire Assessment Guide - rates articles related to this project for quality and importance. This counts as a "collaboration" because it fits in with the 1.0 program. Even if you have no interest in rating articles yourself, it is still worth checking to see which articles need work.

WP:USA
WikiProject New Hampshire is supported by WikiProject United States.

Mountains
WikiProject New Hampshire has (or had) a subproject focused on the mountains in the state called WikiProject New Hampshire Mountains, but it seems to be inactive now...

Dartmouth
Dartmouth College is in New Hampshire, and thus WikiProject Dartmouth College exists, although it seems to be inactive.

State Highways
WikiProject U.S. Roads has a task force for New Hampshire.

Templates

 * Template:New Hampshire is a box to go at the bottom of all New Hampshire-related articles.
 * Template:Project New Hampshire is a (deprecated) box to go at the top of the talk pages of all New Hampshire-related articles.

Government infobox
The look of the Government section of the Shrewsbury article is a start for a MA infobox. The infobox used is Template:Infobox Mass Town Govt. It gathers information about the town, county, state, and federal elected officials.
 * I started an NH Government infobox... feel free to check it out and make changes as needed.
 * Apparently it was deleted in 2008 because it was "abandoned" though... and also simultaneously moved to User:Prezboy1/Infobox_NH_Town_Govt for being "abandoned and redundant"? (Redundant with what, though?)

Images
Here are some images that were either created by/for this Project, or would just be handy for this Project. Please add more!

Maps


All towns, cities and unincorporated places in NH have maps, such as the one pictured right, at the Wikimedia Commons at Category:Maps of New Hampshire. The maps are located in the categories for their respective counties.

Each town or city or unincoporated place should have a map image in the Infobox City template. For Portsmouth, New Hampshire the file would be Image:Rockingham-Portsmouth-NH.png (County-City-NH) The image would be placed in the following fields as shown: |image_map = Rockingham-Portsmouth-NH.png |mapsize = 250px |map_caption = Location in Rockingham,  New Hampshire

Stubs
It's Template:NewHampshire-stub. Its corresponding category is Category:New Hampshire stubs.

The secondary stubs have all been updated with the state emblem featuring the Old Man of the Mountain. Here are what they look like:
 * New Hampshire Geography - NewHampshire-geo-stub


 * New Hampshire Politicians - NewHampshire-politician-stub

Proposing/Using new stubs
Here is a quick link to the WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals page, so the Stub Sorting people don't get mad and we don't have 3 different versions of the same stub. When new stubs are created they should be updated onto this page for quick reference.

Project Notice Template
