How can a list be chosen that objectively reflects the cities / municipalities that should be included?

WikiProject New Jersey is a WikiProject intended primarily to produce articles and a consistent format for articles relating to the U.S. state of New Jersey.

Project New Jersey

Articles


Culture articles

  • Music of New Jersey - list of music in New Jersey has to be cut down to important musicians/bands/artists and rest be moved to this article.

State government articles

Note: This project is not specifically a government project.

Lists

Local town articles

Templates

The following lists all of the New Jersey Legislative District templates to verify that they exist:

The following lists all of the New Jersey Legislative District templates to verify that they exist:

The only issue is those counties (e.g. Hudson County, New Jersey) with County-level wards as opposed to elections at-large. We shouldn't list all the Freeholders in the County on the page for a particular township if only some of the Freeholders represent that municipality. Alansohn 17:07, 17 November 2005 (UTC)[reply]

Government infobox

  • Expand this list.

Categories

Category heirarchy starts at Category:New Jersey. See Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey/Categories for full list and proposed changes.


Images

Here are some images that were either created by/for this Project, or would just be handy for this Project. Please add more!

  • Lots of images found at commons:Category:New Jersey. Please consider uploading free licensed works here so that they can be easily used by projects besides the English language wikipedia.
  • Flickr has a bunch of suitably licensed photos. See [1] [2].

Maps

In the Infobox Template:Infobox Town NJ, there is a place for an image showing the town's place in the state. Can someone advise the rest of us on creating such images? Most of the New Jersey pages already have images showing the municipalities location within its county, as well as an inset of the county's location within New jersey.

  • A good source of historical maps is the Rutgers Collection. Maps published before 1923 are in the public domain in the US. Consider uploading them to Wikimedia Commons.
  • University of Texas, Austin has a number of maps available [3].
  • NJDOT publishes a number of maps [4]. Note that vector versions of the maps are also available in Arcview shape format. The PDF versions of the maps are under copyright, as there are original works of authorship and creativity involved. The raw data (vector shape drawings) are believed to be ineligible for copyright since no creative work was involved in making them (i.e. we can use {{PD-ineligible}}).
  • NJDEP publishes outline maps of counties (showing municipalities) in GIF format and Arcview shape format. [5] These are believed to be ineligible for copyright since no creative work was involved in making them (i.e. we can use {{PD-ineligible}}).

Note: Arcview shape format can be converted to open formats like SVG using a tool like GeoCon [6] (LGPL licensed, but C♯ for MS Windows; maybe it would work under Mono; anyone have a portable solution?). The SVG can then be edited in tools like Inkscape and uploaded directly to Wikipedia.


Stubs

We don't have a general purpose stub yet! It will probably be Template:New Jersey-stub. Its corresponding category would be Category:New Jersey-related stubs. Template:NJ-stub will redirect there, too.

To Do

Wikiportal

Perhaps, someday, this project can grow into a Wikiportal!

Project Notice Template

New Jersey-related articles should have the following link inserted at the top of the talk pages:

{{Project New Jersey}}

It will come out looking like this, (ignore the garbage at the end, that has to do with the fact that this template expects to be linked on talk pages):

Credit where it's due

This Project is a blatant rip-off of Project Massachusetts, for which the creator of WP:NJ is both ashamed and grateful.
