User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects provides a list, updated daily, of unreferenced living people articles ( BLPs) related to your project. There has been a lot of discussion recently about deleting these unreferenced articles, so it is important that these articles are referenced.

The unreferenced articles related to your project can be found at >>> Wikipedia:WikiProject New Mexico/Archive 5/Unreferenced BLPs<<<

If you do not want this wikiproject to participate, please add your project name to this list.

Thank you.

Update: Wikipedia:WikiProject New Mexico/Archive 5/Unreferenced BLPs has been created. This list, which is updated by User:DASHBot/Wikiprojects daily, will allow your wikiproject to quickly identify unreferenced living person articles.

There maybe no or few articles on this new Unreferenced BLPs page. To increase the overall number of articles in your project with another bot, you can sign up for User:Xenobot_Mk_V#Instructions.

If you have any questions or concerns, visit User talk:DASHBot/Wikiprojects. Okip 00:26, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

I happened upon the Otero Mesa stub randomly, and I'm doing what I can to expand it.

Just wondering if it is appropriate to add the NM flag + seal here.
And also, if ok to add this link on the main NM page.
I'd gladly do it if alright by wiki standards. ☺

Great job, btw, all NM wiki pages I've seen are of top quality.
Thanks for your time + concern.

MDGx ^{☹ ☺} 21:46, 18 July 2010 (UTC)

Ignored for almost a full year. Nice... ;-) I guess my original opinion about the quality of these pages is not so great after all. ;-(
I did notice the wiki link to NM symbols page on the NM main page, but I don't think it has anything to do with my 1 year old request, looks like some1 else just happened to have the same thought.
So I'm asking again: how about adding the NM flag + the NM seal to the NM symbols page?
Thanks for listening (or not).

Thanks for following up— in my experience it can be hard to get a response on this page. I took a quick look at a few of the other states' "list of symbols" articles and all the ones I saw included the flag and seal, so I say go for it. Camerafiend ( talk) 02:49, 27 June 2011 (UTC)

Version 0.8 is a collection of Wikipedia articles selected by the Wikipedia 1.0 team for offline release on USB key, DVD and mobile phone. Articles were selected based on their assessed importance and quality, then article versions (revisionIDs) were chosen for trustworthiness (freedom from vandalism) using an adaptation of the WikiTrust algorithm.

We would like to ask you to review the New Mexico articles and revisionIDs we have chosen. Selected articles are marked with a diamond symbol (♦) to the right of each article, and this symbol links to the selected version of each article. If you believe we have included or excluded articles inappropriately, please contact us at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8 with the details. You may wish to look at your WikiProject's articles with cleanup tags and try to improve any that need work; if you do, please give us the new revisionID at Wikipedia talk:Version 0.8. We would like to complete this consultation period by midnight UTC on Monday, October 11th.

We have greatly streamlined the process since the Version 0.7 release, so we aim to have the collection ready for distribution by the end of October, 2010. As a result, we are planning to distribute the collection much more widely, while continuing to work with groups such as One Laptop per Child and Wikipedia for Schools to extend the reach of Wikipedia worldwide. Please help us, with your WikiProject's feedback!

In reviewing the information that is displayed for the Mescalero Apaches, there is information that is not correct as far as Chiefs and leaders are concerned. The Apaches had numerous leaders and some of the ones that you have listed are incorrect. I just wanted to let you know. Also for the two pictures of the men you have on the front page, I have no clue as to who they are??? There are many people who claim to be Mescalero Apache and do not have a clue as to who they are or how they could even be Apache. Just wanted to let you know.

A very interesting tool of the Wikimedia Toolserver is called WikiProject Popular pages lists. These lists are similar to project-related article lists like U. S. article lists used for generating assessment statistics. The Popular pages lists include the rank, total views, average daily views, quality and importance ratings for the listed articles. Here is the full list of projects using popular pages lists. An FAQ also is available at User:Mr.Z-man/Popular pages FAQ.

I recently added links to lists of popular pages as shown below to the U.S. Portal - WikiProjects box and the nominations sections for each of the selected articles boxes.

• Portal:United States/Projects/Popular pages

Because this project was not included, I am bringing up the popular pages tool here. This tool makes it very easy to track three of four balancing dimensions when selecting articles for showcasing at a portal - quality, importance and popularity. When tracking the fourth dimension, topic, the related article lists tool (such as for U.S. article lists tool) also might be useful by filtering on categories of interest.

If you do decide to use this tool, feel free to update Portal:United States/Projects/Popular pages as well.

Have a a recent or updated photo of Governor Susana Martinez, one is needed badly. The current photo is from her campaign. Also, if so, maybe someone can get the proper permission to use the governor's office released photo? JHarrelson ( talk) 05:29, 25 April 2011 (UTC)

Under US copyright law, no permission is ever needed to use photos produced by the government (federal, state or local). There is no American equivalent to Crown copyright. So, her official photos as governor, as released in state publications including the governor web site, are public domain and can be added to Commons. — SMcCandlish Talk⇒ ʕ(^Õل^ō)ˀ Contribs. 15:39, 8 August 2011 (UTC)

Hello people of WikiProject New Mexico!

I've worked a lot on wikipedia articles related with the history of the Americas, since that this is a topic that I´m interested. the case is I realized that, since a long time, all governors of New Mexico have articles on wikipedia since those states joined the United States, while only a few colonial governors of this state had them. I thought it would be nice to at least most colonial governors of New Mexico also have articles on wikipedia, because they are a bit forgotten in this encyclopedia. I've already looked for information and I've edited articles the some of these governors and I ask that, if interested, you also collaborate on editing articles from other governors of this state. The names of the governors of New Mexico are on the lists Spanish governors of New Mexico.

I hopefully are at least some editors interested. I would appreciate any cooperation. -- Isinbill ( talk) 00:47, 26 June 2011 (UTC)

Someone recently suggested that this project be included in the list of projects supported by WikiProject United States. After reviewing the project it appears that there have been some recent active discussion on the talk page and some updates to the main project page.

I will contact each of the active members of the project and ask them to comment as well.

Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:New Mexico will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in New Mexico's history, society and culture.

Greetings, there is a discussion regarding removal of the logic used to populate Automatically assessed article categories from Template:WikiProject United States. Most of the categories (over 220 Wikipedia wide) were deleted in February 2013 because they were empty. These categories were previously populated by a bot that hasn't run since 2011 and the categories aren't used. Removal of this uneeded/unused logic will greatly reduce the size and complexity of the WikiProject United States template. Any comments or questions are encouraged here. Kumioko ( talk) 18:45, 28 August 2013 (UTC)

Lest there is any confusion for people who don't speak the same language, the words "logic used to populate Automatically assessed article categories" refer to the feature that was supposed to allow this WikiProject's template to "inherit" class and importance ratings from other WikiProjects. Kumioko says that there are no longer any bots performing the function that formerly copied those ratings. -- Orlady ( talk) 23:24, 31 August 2013 (UTC)

Hello there! As you may already know, most WikiProjects here on Wikipedia struggle to stay active after they've been founded. I believe there is a lot of potential for WikiProjects to facilitate collaboration across subject areas, so I have submitted a grant proposal with the Wikimedia Foundation for the "WikiProject X" project. WikiProject X will study what makes WikiProjects succeed in retaining editors and then design a prototype WikiProject system that will recruit contributors to WikiProjects and help them run effectively. Please review the proposal here and leave feedback. If you have any questions, you can ask on the proposal page or leave a message on my talk page. Thank you for your time!

Hello everyone!

You may have received a message from me earlier asking you to comment on my WikiProject X proposal. The good news is that WikiProject X is now live! In our first phase, we are focusing on research. At this time, we are looking for people to share their experiences with WikiProjects: good, bad, or neutral. We are also looking for WikiProjects that may be interested in trying out new tools and layouts that will make participating easier and projects easier to maintain. If you or your WikiProject are interested, check us out! Note that this is an opt-in program; no WikiProject will be required to change anything against its wishes. Please let me know if you have any questions. Thank you!

Note: To receive additional notifications about WikiProject X on this talk page, please add this page to Wikipedia:WikiProject X/Newsletter. Otherwise, this will be the last notification sent about WikiProject X.

Hello all! I was curious if anyone else thought it might be a good idea to make a (nonbinding) guideline on how all the individual US state WikiProjects should organize themselves, to help standardize them. I originally put this suggestion in the WikiProject United States talk page, so feel free to look there if you're interested. It's pretty empty though; basically all they said was to see what each of the individual projects thought about it. Please tell me if you have any concerns with this idea; hopefully we can find a way for everyone to love it!

Please see Talk:New Mexican English#Requested move 24 October 2015. More importantly, we need a concerted sourcing effort, especially by anyone with access to book stacks (including dissertations/theses as a last resort) at the UNM and other state university libraries, and Santa Fe colleges. These are probably the only semi-accessible stockpiles of paper sources on this topic, and even some of the journals that have published material about the topic were published by these institutions. Various organizations in the area may have also put out materials that can be found and sourced. So far, the interwebs have largely been a big FAIL for finding the necessary material. Even establishing the idea that NM English as a broad regional (historically, territorial) dialect exists and what it means have proven nearly impossible with online sources. Two sub-regional dialects have been ID'd (Burqueño, and Nuevomexicano or Northern New Mexico Chicano English), but basically the article is quite poor, and not very well sourced. It barely survived AfD.  —  SMcCandlish ☺ ☏ ¢ ≽^ʌⱷ҅_ᴥⱷ^ʌ≼  09:43, 24 October 2015 (UTC)

Santa Fe Indian Market and the much more recent Santa Fe International Folk Art Market have well-developed articles, but the "middle child" of this summer activity flurry, the Santa Fe Spanish Market, is a still redlink. This would be a good "feather in the cap" article for anyone looking to author a major article that's clearly somehow still missing after 15 years of Wikipedia.

Hi. The Wikipedia:WikiProject United States/The 50,000 Challenge has recently started, based on the UK/Ireland Wikipedia:The 10,000 Challenge. The idea is not to record every minor edit, but to create a momentum to motivate editors to produce good content improvements and creations and inspire people to work on more states than they might otherwise work on. If there's the interest I will start 1000 State Challenges like Wikipedia:The 1000 Challenge (Nordic). For this to really work we need diversity and exciting content and editors from a broad range of states regularly contributing. If you would like to see masses of articles being improved for the US and your specialist/home state like Wikipedia:WikiProject Africa/The Africa Destubathon, sign up today and once the challenge starts a contest can be organized. This is a way we can target every state, and steadily vastly improve the encyclopedia. We need numbers to make this work so consider signing up as a participant and also sign under any state sub challenge on the page that you might contribute to!

We – Community Tech – are happy to announce that the Popular pages bot is back up-and-running (after a one year hiatus)! You're receiving this message because your WikiProject or task force is signed up to receive the popular pages report. Every month, Community Tech bot will post at Wikipedia:WikiProject New Mexico/Archive 5/Popular pages with a list of the most-viewed pages over the previous month that are within the scope of WikiProject New Mexico.

We've made some enhancements to the original report. Here's what's new:

• The pageview data includes both desktop and mobile data.
• The report will include a link to the pageviews tool for each article, to dig deeper into any surprises or anomalies.
• The report will include the total pageviews for the entire project (including redirects).

We're grateful to Mr.Z-man for his original Mr.Z-bot, and we wish his bot a happy robot retirement. Just as before, we hope the popular pages reports will aid you in understanding the reach of WikiProject New Mexico, and what articles may be deserving of more attention.

I've overhauled (to the best I can without additional sources): Mora, New Mexico, Mora County, New Mexico, First Battle of Mora, and Second Battle of Mora, with various side edits at Taos Revolt, etc. The Mora articles all appeared to have been cobbled together by successive waves of "drive-by" edits without any regard for the relationships between the articles.

The reason I am contacting you is because there are one or more portals that fall under this subject, and the Portals WikiProject is currently undertaking a major drive to automate portals that may affect them.

Portals are being redesigned.

The new design features are being applied to existing portals.

At present, we are gearing up for a maintenance pass of portals in which the introduction section will be upgraded to no longer need a subpage. In place of static copied and pasted excerpts will be self-updating excerpts displayed through selective transclusion, using the template {{ Transclude lead excerpt}}.

The discussion about this can be found here.

Maintainers of specific portals are encouraged to sign up as project members here, noting the portals they maintain, so that those portals are skipped by the maintenance pass. Currently, we are interested in upgrading neglected and abandoned portals. There will be opportunity for maintained portals to opt-in later, or the portal maintainers can handle upgrading (the portals they maintain) personally at any time.

Background

On April 8th, 2018, an RfC ("Request for comment") proposal was made to eliminate all portals and the portal namespace. On April 17th, the Portals WikiProject was rebooted to handle the revitalization of the portal system. On May 12th, the RfC was closed with the result to keep portals, by a margin of about 2 to 1 in favor of keeping portals.

There's an article in the current edition of the Signpost interviewing project members about the RfC and the Portals WikiProject.

Since the reboot, the Portals WikiProject has been busy building tools and components to upgrade portals.

So far, 84 editors have joined.

If you would like to keep abreast of what is happening with portals, see the newsletter archive.

If you have any questions about what is happening with portals or the Portals WikiProject, please post them on the WikiProject's talk page.

Thank you.    — The Transhumanist   07:49, 30 May 2018 (UTC)

Added: "Soon after the Treaty had been signed, a group of prominent New Mexicans went on record in opposition to slavery, in their petition to congress to change the military government to a temporary territorial form. They were likely motivated by their desire for self-government, and the fact that the slave state of Texas claimed much of New Mexico east of the Rio Grande, and that many believed that it was planning to invade again as it had in 1841 and 1843. ^{[1] [2]}" Whatsit369 ( talk) 08:13, 27 June 2018 (UTC)

An RfC on moving the year from the end to the start of article titles (e.g. South African general election, 2019 to 2019 South African general election) has been reopened for further comment, including on whether a bot could be used move the articles if it closed in favour of the change: Wikipedia talk:Naming conventions (government and legislation)#Proposed change to election/referendum naming format.

Invitation to join GLAM-Wiki US

Hello! This WikiProject aligns closely with the work of the GLAM-Wiki initiative (Galleries, Libraries, Archives, and Museums), a global community of volunteers who assist cultural institutions with sharing resources with Wikimedia. GLAM-Wiki US is a new community initiative focused on organizing cultural collaborations within the United States. GLAM organizations are diverse and span numerous topics, from libraries and art museums to science centers and historic sites. We currently have a backlog of interested institutions- and we need your help! Are you interested in helping with current or future GLAM projects? Join→ Online Volunteers We hope you'll join the growing GLAM-Wiki community in the US. Thank you! - Lori Phillips ( Talk), US Cultural Partnerships Coordinator For more information visit→ The GLAM:US portal or GLAM-Wiki on Outreach

You are invited! - Saturday, March 5 and 6 - Wikipedia:Meetup/El Paso/ArtAndFeminism 2016			Please join us at the El Paso Public Library's Maude Sullivan Room on Saturday March 5, and March 6 2016, for an event aimed at collaboratively expanding Wikipedia articles covering Art and Feminism, and the biographies of women artists! -- Megalibrarygirl ( talk)

Hello and greetings from the maintainers of the WP 1.0 Bot! As you may or may not know, we are currently involved in an overhaul of the bot, in order to make it more modern and maintainable. As part of this process, we will be rewriting the web tool that is part of the project. You might have noticed this tool if you click through the links on the project assessment summary tables.

We'd like to collect information on how the current tool is used by....you! How do you yourself and the other maintainers of your project use the web tool? Which of its features do you need? How frequently do you use these features? And what features is the tool missing that would be useful to you? We have collected all of these questions at this Google form where you can leave your response. Walkerma ( talk) 04:24, 27 October 2019 (UTC)

• See: Talk:Beaver River (Oklahoma)#Same river different names. The North Canadian River changes names at the Oklahoma border but is the same river (name used interchangeably) covered in two articles. It would seem this could be easily covered with alternate names. Otr500 ( talk) 10:48, 23 September 2019 (UTC)

There is currently a discussion regarding a proposal to move the page Zuni which may be of interest to this WikiProject. The discussion is taking place HERE. Netherzone ( talk) 17:34, 23 December 2020 (UTC)

A while ago an editor posted a substantial draft at Draft:The Mescalero Sands of New Mexico, referring to this National Natural Landmark. The editor is a librarian and researcher who worked on the landmark's recognition in the 1960s and has written a good deal about the topic (with references), however what they've written here is more of a promotional brochure, and they need help turning it into an encyclopedia article. If you're interested in helping out, please visit the draft. Ivanvector ( ^Talk/ _Edits) 16:47, 5 January 2021 (UTC)

Hello, any ideas which infobox might work for this article... historical, architectural, geographic, biographic or? Netherzone ( talk) 23:45, 30 March 2021 (UTC)

Template:Infobox NRHP is specifically for NRHP-listed historic properties so I think it would be the best choice. There is also Template:Infobox building but it is more geared toward skyscrapers and other large buildings. Camerafiend ( talk) 16:09, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

Thank you! Netherzone ( talk) 16:36, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

No problem, great article by the way! Camerafiend ( talk) 18:21, 31 March 2021 (UTC)

I have nominated Chaco Culture National Historical Park for a featured article review here. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets featured article criteria. Articles are typically reviewed for two weeks. If substantial concerns are not addressed during the review period, the article will be moved to the Featured Article Removal Candidates list for a further period, where editors may declare "Keep" or "Delist" the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are here. SandyGeorgia ( Talk) 02:44, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

I have (with the help of others) made a small user script to detect and highlight various links to unreliable sources and predatory journals. Some of you may already be familiar with it, given it is currently the 39th most imported script on Wikipedia. The idea is that it takes something like

• John Smith " Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14. (John Smith "[https://www.deprecated.com/article Article of things]" ''Deprecated.com''. Accessed 2020-02-14.)

and turns it into something like

• John Smith " Article of things" Deprecated.com. Accessed 2020-02-14.

It will work on a variety of links, including those from {{ cite web}}, {{ cite journal}} and {{ doi}}.

The script is mostly based on WP:RSPSOURCES, WP:NPPSG and WP:CITEWATCH and a good dose of common sense. I'm always expanding coverage and tweaking the script's logic, so general feedback and suggestions to expand coverage to other unreliable sources are always welcomed.

Do note that this is not a script to be mindlessly used, and several caveats apply. Details and instructions are available at User:Headbomb/unreliable. Questions, comments and requests can be made at User talk:Headbomb/unreliable.

At the recent Wikimedia US Mountain West online meeting, one participant from NYC, New York, mentioned that he and fellow participants in his region have get-togethers. He recommended having a get-together in ABQ, New Mexico. Is there any interest for such a gathering? And if so, where should we meet up in person? Shari Garland ( talk) 18:24, 18 February 2023 (UTC)

@ Shari Garland: meta:celebrate_Women/Events#North America is an editathon I want to organise if that time and date works for you or others. Arlo James Barnes 22:06, 21 March 2023 (UTC)

@ Arlo Barnes: What a great idea! Shari Garland ( talk) 01:20, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

@ Arlo Barnes: is the date 4-6-23 or 6-4-23? Netherzone ( talk) 23:20, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

April sixth, not June fourth. I'll see what date templates meta has. (edit: thanks!) Arlo James Barnes 06:18, 24 March 2023 (UTC)

Quality assessments by Wikipedia editors rate articles in terms of completeness, organization, prose quality, sourcing, etc. Most wikiprojects follow the general guidelines at Wikipedia:Content assessment, but some have specialized assessment guidelines. A recent Village pump proposal was approved and has been implemented to add a |class= parameter to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.

No action is required if your wikiproject follows the standard assessment approach. Over time, quality assessments will be migrated up to {{ WikiProject banner shell}}, and your project banner will automatically "inherit" any changes to the general assessments for the purpose of assigning categories.

However, if your project has decided to "opt out" and follow a non-standard quality assessment approach, all you have to do is modify your wikiproject banner template to pass {{ WPBannerMeta}} a new |QUALITY_CRITERIA=custom parameter. If this is done, changes to the general quality assessment will be ignored, and your project-level assessment will be displayed and used to create categories, as at present.

 You are invited to join the discussion at Wikipedia talk:Content assessment#Proposal: Reclassification of Current & Future-Classes as time parameter, which is within the scope of this WikiProject. This WikiProject received this message because it currently uses "Current" and/or "Future" class(es). There is a proposal to split these two article "classes" into a new parameter "time", in order to standardise article-rating across Wikipedia ( per RfC), while also allowing simultaneous usage of quality criteria and time for interest projects.
