Wikipedia:WikiProject New Mexico

Welcome to WikiProject New Mexico, a collaboration to improve Wikipedia's coverage of the state of New Mexico (history, geography, biographies, and more) and the organization of information and articles on this topic. This page and its subpages contain suggestions and resources; it is hoped that this project will help to focus the efforts of Wikipedians interested in New Mexico. If you would like to help, please join us and see the to-do list and the talk page.

Goals

 * The goal of this WikiProject is to provide complete coverage on subjects related to New Mexico, by expanding articles on people, places, and things resident or native to New Mexico.

Scope

 * This project proposes to work with all pages related to the state of New Mexico, its history, geography, and people.

Guidelines

 * All settlements should have Infobox settlement
 * All bios should have an appropriate biographical infobox
 * Other articles for which infoboxes exist should have them (sports teams, legislature, etc.)
 * All articles should be properly categorized, and have a WikiProject New Mexico on their talk page
 * Stubs should be properly sorted
 * Spanish names and terms should be given with the proper diacritics where applicable.

Open tasks
All members should always feel free to patrol the recent changes list to note improvements, other changes, or vandalism of articles within the scope of this project.

You can add WikiProject New Mexico/Article alerts to your watchlist to keep up to date on New Mexico articles.

[[Image:Pictogram voting comment.svg|22px]] New articles
Please feel free to include in this WikiProject any New Mexico-related articles that you create or find. To include an article in this project, put   at the top of the article's talk page. The article will appear in the next update of our quality log. New articles that have an interesting or unusual fact in them should be suggested for the Did you know? box on the Main Page. Please also put new articles into a New Mexico category. If you cannot decide which one, use our main category: put   at the bottom of the article, just above any links to other language Wikipedia.

Articles needed
The following articles, about notable subjects, have been requested to be created.
 * The history of the people of Mora, NM.

Articles needing attention
The following articles have been requested for improvement. ✅ - Netherzone (talk) 12:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)
 * Soldiers' Monument (Santa Fe, New Mexico) - newly split off from Santa Fe Plaza, GScholar turns up a lot of sources but my hands hurt and I can't add them all right now-- Arlo James Barnes 23:57, 12 October 2020 (UTC)

Assessment
Rates articles for both quality and importance to this project. Assessment is not peer review (see below), but a quick rating of the article and (where warranted) brief comments on how to improve the article. -->
 * Carlsbad, New Mexico

In-project peer review
Peer review of articles for areas for improvement, performed by this project rather than Wikipedia-wide; good for both a first take on Start-class articles, and for focused improvement efforts before Good Article and Featured Article review. In contrast to Wikipedia-wide peer review, which focuses on Wikipedia standards, in-project peer review typically focuses on the quality of the article from a topical standpoint; both are equally valuable but very different review processes. In contrast to assessment, peer review is a detailed review.

Stubs
NewMexico-stub for the bottom of very short articles: There are also NewMexico-geo-stub for locations and NewMexico-politician-stub for (obviously) politicians.

'NOTE: Stubs are managed by the Stub-sorting WikiProject. Before creating a new stub, you should propose it at WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Stub for general guidelines on proposing stub templates and categories. DO NOT simply create new stub templates, as these will be deleted.'

WikiProject talk page banner
should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar:

Navigation
New Mexico&mdash;use sparingly as it is large. Basically, if the article doesn't appear in the navbox, the navbox should probably not appear on the article.

Albuquerque&mdash;for Albuquerque-related topics.

Santa Fe County, New Mexico&mdash;for topics relating to the city of Santa Fe and the county it resides in, including other towns and cities therein.

Infoboxes
Infobox settlement, for all cities, towns, and pueblos. Example to the right:
