2008
December 2008
The energy in December seems to be around making articles about federal judges.
If you want to help, Judgepedia:Articles about federal judges is a good introduction to the basics of writing articles about the federal judges.
The template at the bottom of this page about "Federal judges as nominated by different U.S. presidents" is a good place to start to see the overall shape of this project.
Questions? Try leaving a comment or question here or on the talk page of anyone you can see from an article's edit history is working on articles about federal judges.
Some specific ways to help:
- Add pictures of former U.S. presidents to any pages in the list below that don't already have one.
- If you see that there are no judges listed on the page of one of the presidents listed below, start adding articles about that president's nominees to the federal bench.
