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.

Portal

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 {{tl|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 {{tl|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.

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 {{WikiProject New Mexico|class=|importance=}} 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 Category:New Mexico at the bottom of the article, just above any links to other language Wikipedia.

{{Done}} - Netherzone (talk) 12:46, 7 April 2021 (UTC)

Departments

=[[Wikipedia:WikiProject New Mexico/Assessment|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.

-->

=[[WP:PR|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.

Templates

=Stubs=

{{tl|NewMexico-stub}} for the bottom of very short articles:

There are also {{tl|NewMexico-geo-stub}} for locations and {{tl|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 Wikipedia:WikiProject Stub sorting/Proposals. See Wikipedia: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=

{{tlx|WikiProject United States|2=NM=yes}} should be placed on the talk pages of relevant articles to put them under the project's radar:

{{WikiProject United States|NM=yes|category=no}}

=Navigation=

{{tl|New Mexico}}—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.

{{New Mexico}}

{{tl|Albuquerque}}—for Albuquerque-related topics.

{{Albuquerque}}

{{tl|Santa Fe County, New Mexico}}—for topics relating to the city of Santa Fe and the county it resides in, including other towns and cities therein.
