Merger proposal
Hi, all. I'm seeking comments on a proposed merger of Battle of Santa Fe and Battle of Cañoncito. You can comment here. &mdash;JerryFriedman (Talk) 18:15, 14 January 2009 (UTC)

I just started an article
on the important New Mexico architect Isaac Rapp but am not sure what, if any New Mexico categories he can/should be included in. Any thoughts? Einar aka Carptrash (talk) 15:26, 9 May 2009 (UTC)

GA Sweeps invitation
This message is being sent to WikiProjects with GAs under their scope. Since August 2007, WikiProject Good Articles has been participating in GA sweeps. The process helps to ensure that articles that have passed a nomination before that date meet the GA criteria. After nearly two years, the running total has just passed the 50% mark. In order to expediate the reviewing, several changes have been made to the process. A new worklist has been created, detailing which articles are left to review. Instead of reviewing by topic, editors can consider picking and choosing whichever articles they are interested in.

We are always looking for new members to assist with reviewing the remaining articles, and since this project has GAs under its scope, it would be beneficial if any of its members could review a few articles (perhaps your project's articles). Your project's members are likely to be more knowledgeable about your topic GAs then an outside reviewer. As a result, reviewing your project's articles would improve the quality of the review in ensuring that the article meets your project's concerns on sourcing, content, and guidelines. However, members can also review any other article in the worklist to ensure it meets the GA criteria.

If any members are interested, please visit the GA sweeps page for further details and instructions in initiating a review. If you'd like to join the process, please add your name to the running total page. In addition, for every member that reviews 100 articles from the worklist or has a significant impact on the process, s/he will get an award when they reach that threshold. With ~1,300 articles left to review, we would appreciate any editors that could contribute in helping to uphold the quality of GAs. If you have any questions about the process, reviewing, or need help with a particular article, please contact me or OhanaUnited and we'll be happy to help. --Happy editing!

TABLE-Prehistoric New Mexicans
In http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/History_of_New_Mexico, the table gives the dates for the historic Mogollon culture as 300 bc to AC 1150. However in the first paragraph of http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mogollon_culture, it is stated that the Mogollon culture endured from AD 150 to AD 1400 or 1450. in the Mogollon_Cuture article it is also stated that the Mimbres phase of the Mogollon culture lasted until about 1130 so this may be the source of the discrepency. In any case, both articles cannot be correct.One (or both) needs to be corrected. Vann98 (talk) 03:58, 2 June 2009 (UTC)

City Halls and Town Halls in New Mexico
I propose just like the earlier above post (about posting county courthouses) to start posting pictures of New Mexico City Hall and Town Hall and Municipal Buildings on the municipality pages that it show the seats of governments of those incorporated municipalities in New Mexico. I know some people already have some and have yet to post them to anything, but this would be a great idea to embark upon! Atomic City505 (talk) 06:11, 26 June 2009 (UTC)

Zia (New Mexico)
This article was a stub today and lack alot of information. So I took the job today to expand it and pretty much wrote the whole thing. I added detail about the Zia culture and the article looks much more imformative and "complete" now. What do you think of it; does it surpass the "stub quality"?Please reply on my talk page if you must,or here for I'll watch this page. I recently joined this wikiproject under the intrest of expanding Native American articles of the state of whom I've studied. This is my first major work on the project.

Alamogordo, New Mexico is at Peer Review

 * The peer review is closed. The article is now a good article candidate. --Uncia (talk) 03:32, 20 August 2009 (UTC)

D. H. Lawrence Ranch article - request for assessment
Since the article was declaredto be a stub, I and several others have enhanced the article recently. While it still needs material on the buildings and the "Lawrence Tree", it has grown far beyond being a stub, and I think it needs the Project's reassessment.

Lincoln
The community of Lincoln, New Mexico is completely within the Lincoln Historic District. Reading through the NRHP nomination form, it is also clear that the historic district is talking about the history of the settlement. Would it make sense to merge the community article into the larger, more developed historic district article? Thanks. --Polaron | Talk 22:33, 8 October 2009 (UTC)

State Parks
I just completed creating the last New Mexico State Parks article. Most of them are stubs, but when I started there were very few articles on the parks. Please help expand them! The complete list of New Mexico State Parks is here: List of New Mexico state parks —Preceding unsigned comment added by Martylunsford (talk • contribs) 18:15, 14 November 2009 (UTC)


 * Why a list? I like categories.  --Una Smith (talk) 05:03, 16 November 2009 (UTC)

Luminaria
Luminaria (vigil fire) needs a photo or two. Anyone? --Una Smith (talk) 04:38, 23 December 2009 (UTC)

Photo requests: New Mexico State Penitentiary and New Mexico Corrections Department
The New Mexico State Penitentiary has some signs in the entranceway to the complex, as seen in the first photo in this page: http://corrections.state.nm.us/prisons/pnm.html - I cannot use that particular photo since New Mexico copyrights its images, but it would be nice if someone from the Santa Fe area photographed that sign. Also the New Mexico Corrections Department has its HQ in the complex, so there may be a separate sign indicating the headquarters of the department. It would be nice to have a photo of that one too. - Thanks WhisperToMe (talk) 06:46, 31 December 2009 (UTC)
