  • jcbarr joined 2006 January 10. No reason we should have red links for previous Congressmen in WP, right?

  • Orchid Righteous - Expanding on Representatives as many of them are stubs, starting with the 109th.
  • Grandmasterka - I created a project proposal for United States Congressional Districts, without knowing that this already existed. The congressional district articles are sorely in need of attention and I will make that my focus. I'm surprised at how few have articles.
  • ElCharismo - Joined February 27, 2006 after discussion with and at the behest of markles. I've been intrigued by the lack of uniformity amongst analogous articles, particularly between States, and after spending a significant amount of time editing in this genre already, I'm happy to be recruited into the project. I look forward to cooperating with everyone to pimp out & polish up this corner of Wikipedia! Non nobis solum! --Ross

  • User:Dcb1995 I have been working on writing bio sketches for the holders of Ohio's third congressional district - a few had been done for those who later went on to higher office plus recent delegations, but I filled in the blanks. I am now proceeding to Ohio's 6th district early sessions and then Ohio's 4th district sessions of the years of constant redistricting (1878-1892). My initial focus is to create sketches for anyone who represented Montgomery County (OH). I am also working on the redistricting history of the 20th century in Ohio, having recently completed the 19th. I want to do district maps for each of the 19th century OH CDs too.
