The New Jersey Collaboration of the Week is a collaborative effort to reduce the number of nonexistant New Jersey articles and to improve the quality of existing articles about New Jersey.

Remember that once something has "won" the vote for nomination, participants then need to commit to do their share of the actual work. In this manner we will be able to make a substantial dent in one of our holes by working collaboratively, sharing both the effort and the ideas that we can each contribute.

Please consider joining the effort; you do not have to be living in New Jersey to help.

Comments:

• Definitely a worthy article for creation. The New Jersey article is weak in describing the geography of New Jersey, and the prose is very weak and unexpansive. AndyZ 14:10, 7 March 2006 (UTC)

United States Congressional Delegations from New Jersey

Nominated [March 8, 2006]; needs 4 votes by [March 22] (minimum 2 votes per week)

Support:

2. AndyZ 18:39, 12 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• For the House: only goes back to the 70th Congress; years are missing from the left column; districts across the top need to be wikified. Compare, e.g., to United States Congressional Delegations from New York

Kean family, Frelinghuysen family

Nominated [March 9, 2006]; needs 2 votes by [March 16] (minimum 2 votes per week)

Support:

1. Sholom 13:58, 9 March 2006 (UTC)

Comments:

• Famous political families of NJ. If you go to the Frelinghuysen disambig page, you can see the start of an article already. One example of a completed article is Delano family. See here for a list of those public officials who comprise the Kean family, and a good reference start.
