== Requested move at [[Talk:Isaac Charles Parker#Requested move 1 June 2024]] ==
== Term start ==
[[File:Information.svg|30px|left]] There is a requested move discussion at [[Talk:Isaac Charles Parker#Requested move 1 June 2024]] that may be of interest to members of this WikiProject. <span style="font-family:Papyrus; color:#800080;">[[User:SafariScribe|Safari Scribe]]</span><sup style="font-family: Times New Roman; color: #006400;">[[Special:Contributions/SafariScribe|'''''Edits!''''']] [[User talk:SafariScribe|'''''Talk!''''']]</sup> 16:10, 9 June 2024 (UTC)

This may be a moot point by the time anyone sees this, but SO MANY editors, both registered and non, are changing incumbency dates for elected Congressional officials BEFORE their term starts. Now granted, January 3rd, today, they'd assume office, but it doesn't officially happen until noon, upon swearing in. (See: [[Liz Cheney]], [[Joe Sempolinski]], [[Van Taylor]], etc.) [[WP:CRYSTAL]] would apply if it's changed before noon, correct? [[User:Snickers2686|Snickers2686]] ([[User talk:Snickers2686|talk]]) 16:29, 3 January 2023 (UTC)
:I believe the consensus will be that January 3, 2023 is when their terms began, oath or no oath. It would look rather odd (for example) having a 3 or 4 'out of office' day gap, in the re-elected House members bios. [[User:GoodDay|GoodDay]] ([[User talk:GoodDay|talk]]) 06:04, 7 January 2023 (UTC)

== Committees in infoboxes ==


== Requested move at [[Talk:Mike Johnson (Louisiana politician)#Requested move 20 July 2024]] ==
Has removing committee assignments from infoboxes ever been considered? They seem to make them so cluttered and overly long while not really being all that necessary; any good article ([[John McCain]] for example) already has a "Committee assignments" section and they have a presence at the bottom of the page in the form of succession boxes. [[Joe Biden]]'s page kind of fixes this by putting all the committees in a small section at the end, but why not just put it in the article body at that point?

== [[:Martin van Buren]] has an [[WP:RFC|RfC]]==
== Project-independent quality assessments ==


<div class="floatleft" style="margin-bottom:0">[[File:Ambox warning orange.svg|48px|alt=|link=]]</div>'''[[:Martin van Buren]]''' has an RfC for possible consensus. A discussion is taking place. If you would like to participate in the discussion, you are invited to add your comments on the '''[[Talk:Martin Van Buren#Rfc for Martin van Buren's Lede Image|discussion page]]'''.<!-- Template:Rfc notice--> Thank you. [[User:Emiya1980|Emiya1980]] ([[User talk:Emiya1980|talk]]) 01:54, 10 August 2024 (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 [[WP:Village pump (proposals)/Archive_198#Project-independent_quality_assessments|Village pump proposal]] was approved and has been implemented to add a {{para|class}} parameter to {{tl|WikiProject banner shell}}, which can display a general quality assessment for an article, and to let project banner templates "inherit" this assessment.


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


I have nominated [[Thomas C. Hindman]] for a [[Wikipedia:Featured article review/Thomas C. Hindman/archive1|featured article review here]]. Please join the discussion on whether this article meets the [[Wikipedia:What is a featured article?|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" in regards to the article's featured status. The instructions for the review process are [[Wikipedia:Featured article review|here]].<!--Template:FARMessage--> [[User:Hog Farm|Hog Farm]] <sub> ''[[User talk:Hog Farm|Talk]]''</sub> 01:05, 12 August 2024 (UTC)
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 {{tl|WPBannerMeta}} a new {{para|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.
