To Do — Iowa Legislators

My To Do List

  • Create/update articles, ensuring they are to the standard of existing articles. doing
  • Make sure that House terms are listed for senators - noting that Joe Seng's isn't. doing
  • Make sure that House terms are completed for representatives - Wayne Ford's isn't. doing
  • Make Iowa legislature articles footnote formatted. doing
  • Double-check senators who are listed as serving only 2-year terms - Eg. Amanda Ragan. doing
  • Do the "born"s in the article text. doing
  • Do the alma maters in the infobox. doing
  • Find out inauguration dates and replace term starts/ends with them. Keep an eye out for those whose terms really DO start or end in unusual years (special elections/resignations). doing
  • According to Template talk:Infobox Officeholder, common name should be used in infoboxes. Fix it so that full name is used in article and common name in infobox. Leave explanation in "reason" spot. doing
  • Check Wally Horn and see if he served in the Iowa House before 1972.

  • Update URLs to the new legislative website (use multi-term link because it doesn't go out of date). doing
