Hi everyone. March is Women's History Month and I'm hoping a few folks here at WP:U.S. Congress will have interest in putting on events (on and off wiki) related to women's roles in the US Congress. We've created an event page on English Wikipedia (please translate!) and I hope you'll find the inspiration to participate. These events can take place off wiki, like edit-a-thons, or on wiki, such as themes and translations. Please visit the page here: WikiWomen's History Month. Thanks for your consideration and I look forward to seeing events take place! SarahStierch (talk) 21:02, 1 February 2012 (UTC)
Can someone please expand this page to includes 'benefit?' 71.234.169.208 (talk) 14:22, 21 February 2012 (UTC)
I notice that a cat is listed on the United States Senate election in Virginia, 2012 article. Is there a requirement that a Senate candidate be human? Hack (talk) 16:24, 4 March 2012 (UTC)
This article is up for deletion and I could really use some support for it to stay. I plan on making other lists to easily show senators and representatives by date of death, all of which will look presentable in this template. I chose to break up the senators by decade because 1 page for each year would have too few and 1 for all time would have too many. I also made this page to summarize as well as link to all of the current congressional death pages. This creates a very easy way to view a significant moment (death) from these important people. Please weigh in on the discussion. Thanks. RoadView (talk) 04:32, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
Please weigh in on the discussion for this as well, thanks. RoadView (talk) 22:33, 8 March 2012 (UTC)
What were its counties between the 1912 and 1982 elections? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.149.242.9 (talk) 16:23, 1 April 2012 (UTC)
I know that Bill Posey and Sandy Adams are Brevard County's current reps whose districts cover the KSC area, Merritt Island, Titusville, and the Space Coast. I also know that before Bill Nelson (one-time Shuttle astronaut) became a Senator he represented the area until he retired at the 1990 elections; he was elected to the House in 1978, but I do not know for sure if the area was ALREADY a part of his district at the time, or if it was transferred to his seat in subsequent redistricting during his tenure. Any help would be appreciated, thanks!

Hey everyone...it looks like we have alot of work ahead of us to edit/move articles to reflect redistricting...has there already been a discussion on this, and is there any policy in place? Thanks & let me know if I can be of help. Paul (talk) 16:36, 13 May 2012 (UTC)
To do:
In Talk:United_States_Senate_election_in_Massachusetts,_2012#Polling_order, we are having a dispute concerning whether polls should be listed in chronological or reverse-chronological order. I would appreciate any outside input from the broader group of editors who contribute to these articles. Thanks! johnpseudo 16:12, 17 May 2012 (UTC)
There is a discussion ongoing at Wikipedia:Featured article review/Barack Obama/archive9Lihaas (talk) 16:26, 14 June 2012 (UTC)
The Congressional Cemetery in Washington, DC will become the world's largest outdoor encyclopedia of American history from July1 - October 1, 2012. Visitors can scan QRpedia QR codes placed next to the graves or cenotaphs of people memorialized there, and their smart phones will then display the Wikipedia article on that person in the preferred language of the smart phone owner. If no article is available in their preferred language, they will be offered a list of available articles or the choice of a Google translation.
Sixty articles will be available, mostly on congressmen. For a full list see Wikimedia outreach. Some of the articles could use a bit of work, updating, cleanup, etc. Also, if anybody can translate some of these articles into other languages, it would be a welcome convenience for foreign visitors to our nation's capital. Feel free to ask any questions on this project here or on my talk page.
Any help appreciated.

Does anyone have any conclusive evidence of her age? If she was indeed born in 1886, she is the oldest person to have served. Find a Grave has an entry with a picture of the gravestone. [1] Is this enough proof or do we need more to give her the title? On her article it's mentioned that the social security death index records say otherwise. This is rather important for record purposes and perhaps someone can give some input. - RoadView (talk) 17:11, 12 July 2012 (UTC)
Discussion about whether a controversy involving Rob Portman's stance on gay and lesbian issues should be removed from his article or not. Kaldari (talk) 18:03, 10 August 2012 (UTC)

We still have the old maps on each district page (at least all of them I looked at). Shouldn't we have the new maps posted for each district, as that seems more relevant for the upcoming election?DandyDan2007 (talk) 19:41, 18 October 2012 (UTC)
Wikipedia:Requests for comment/Abortion advocacy movement coverage, an RFC that will affect the title of the articles currently titled Support for the legalization of abortion and Opposition to legal abortion if consensus is found in favor of its conclusions, is now in its community feedback phase and ready for editors to register opinions and arguments.

Hi, I'm looking for help improving Senator Bob Corker's article. I work on Sen. Corker's campaign and have been helping to improve this article for several months now. I am not involved in directly editing the article, instead I have been making requests and suggestions on the article's talk page for other editors to review and discuss. Last week I made a request for a slight reorganization to improve the structure of the article. The talk page request explains the request in more detail, but, in short, I am hoping to group information about health care policy together in the article's Political positions section. I hope an editor here will be interested in reviewing and making this change. Thanks. Mark from tn (talk) 22:24, 22 October 2012 (UTC)
Hi again, while the above request has been completed I do have a new request I am looking for help with. With this new request I am again asking to move information about fiscal policy to the appropriate Fiscal policy section of the article. However, I am also asking editors to review some changes to this section. I have rewritten portions of this section to correct inaccuracies and replace dead links with sources available online. The detailed request is on the article's talk page. I would greatly appreciate any help I can receive reviewing and making these changes. Thanks. Mark from tn (talk) 19:45, 29 October 2012 (UTC)
A discussion is taking place as to whether the article Dean of the United States Senate is suitable for inclusion in Wikipedia according to Wikipedia's policies and guidelines or whether it should be deleted.
The article will be discussed at Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Dean of the United States Senate until a consensus is reached, and anyone is welcome to contribute to the discussion. The nomination will explain the policies and guidelines which are of concern. The discussion focuses on high-quality evidence and our policies and guidelines.
Users may edit the article during the discussion, including to improve the article to address concerns raised in the discussion. However, do not remove the article-for-deletion template from the top of the article. Francophonie&Androphilie (talk) 20:10, 4 November 2012 (UTC)
I've created ((U.S. Election notice)) as an editnotice template for use on articles affected by the U.S. general election. Since the election is in early November and many of those elected don't take office until mid-to-late January, we tend to have a lot of jump-the-gun updating. This editnotice is intended to prevent some of that editing by reminding editors that there is a difference between editing and inauguration. I'm not mass-implementing it generally, but if you see that an article is drawing a lot of good faith errors, this is available. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 20:56, 6 November 2012 (UTC)
Input is encouraged at Talk:Patrick Murphy (Florida politician)#Request for comment. Instaurare (talk) 19:14, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
I noticed in the article for Florida's 22nd congressional district that it listed Lois Frankel as defeating Allen West in the 2012 election. This is an error related to Florida's recent redistricting (Frankel did not run against West, Patrick Murphy did), and while I have fixed it for that article, there appear to be a series of related errors in the articles for the various Florida congressional candidates and their districts. Just a heads-up. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 67.87.183.64 (talk) 16:40, 10 November 2012 (UTC)
|succeeding=
to show the upcoming term, while using the current information to still show the current term. That a Congressman has been elected to office (and in a new district) is, I think, valuable and encyclopedic information. The wording in the article should show that he is just "-elect", so as to avoid WP:CRYSTAL violations, though. --Philosopher Let us reason together. 09:19, 14 November 2012 (UTC)Am I correct in thinking that basically none of the district maps have been updated to show the current districts? This ought to be done yesterday, or the day before, if possible. If the maps aren't easily available, the articles should at least clarify that the maps are out of date. john k (talk) 16:12, 20 November 2012 (UTC)
Wowsers, we've got some House members who have 'or' will be continuing in office, but in new districts. It may take awhile, but I'll try to fix up some of the mistakes. GoodDay (talk) 19:12, 16 November 2012 (UTC)
I've tried to fix some of the 'seniority' rankings in the House bios succession boxes, but it's become exhausting. I may have messed up some, due to the fact that 2 representatives have resigned this year. Is there anybody with the patients, to fix them? GoodDay (talk) 03:15, 23 November 2012 (UTC)
I've noticed that the article name for Raul Ruiz, congressman-elect from California, is extremely similar to that of an unrelated filmmaker, Raúl Ruiz, with the only difference being an accent mark. I thought that perhaps the article should be moved to Raul Ruiz (congressman) or Raul Ruiz (politician), but I figured I should ask here first. Delaywaves • talk 23:18, 27 November 2012 (UTC)
