Style[edit]
Consistency of article names[edit]
- As a matter of consistency, article names should not abbreviate "United States". Ergo: "Historian of the United States House of Representatives" is preferred over "Historian of the U.S. House of Representatives". See Manual of Style#National varieties of English. If you find "… U.S. …", try to Merge and Redirect it to the corresponding "… United States …" article.
Delegations[edit]
- Each state has three articles on congressional delegation information:
- organized by congressional term are listed here: Category:United States congressional delegations by state
- alphabetical list of representatives entitled: List of United States Representatives from STATE
- alphabetical list of senators entitled: List of United States Senators from STATE

- The Biographical Directory of the United States Congress is a biographical dictionary of all members of both houses of the Congress of the United States, past and present. It is a useful and relatively reliable biographical source for any political figure who served in the Congress. For more information on the use of the Bioguide and the status of importing information from it, go to this project's subpage, /Bioguide or to the site itself: Congressional Biographical Directory of the United States 1774–present ONLINE
- The Political Graveyard has short information on over 138,000 Politicians, Judges, and Diplomats. It is a good supplement to the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress as it contains information on other offices the subject may have held, as well as noting other political relatives.

- 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.

We need to write more about their races, their positions, and their lives, (early political careers, etc.)
