*[[User:Orchid Righteous|Orchid Righteous]] - Expanding on Representatives as many of them are stubs, starting with the 109th.
 
== Style ==
=== Consistency of article names ===
* 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 [[Wikipedia:Merging|Merge and Redirect]] it to the corresponding "… United States …" article.
 
=== Delegations ===
* In most cases, article names should not abbreviate "United States". Ergo: "[[Historian of the United States House of Representatives]]" is right; "[[Historian of the U.S. House of Representatives]]" is wrong. It's not so much "right" and "wrong" actually, it's just a matter of consistency. ''See'' [[Manual of Style#National varieties of English]]. If you find "… U.S. …", try to [[Wikipedia:Merging and moving pages|Merge and Redirect]] it to the corresponding "… United States …" article.
*Each state has three articles on congressional delegation information:
* Anything else?
**organized by congressional term are listed here: {{cl|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
 
=== ArticlesDistricts ===
* '''[[Wikipedia:WikiProject U.S. Congress/Districts]]'''
* [[List of United States congressional districts]]
 
=== Ordinal congressesElections ===
* See [[Wikipedia:Articles on elections]] for general formatting style
* [[List of United States Congresses]]
For each election period, a article called [[xxx United States Congress]] is created, where '''xxx''' is the written out ordinal number, ''e.g.'' [[First United States Congress]].
 
For change in Senate seats, use this format:
Each article will have two sections:
* '''Major Political Events'''
* '''Members of the ''xxx'' United States Congress''' - List of all members, including name, position, party and state of origin.
 
'''Summary of the November 2, 2010 United States Senate election results'''

# Create articles for the historic Senators and Representatives listed at [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/American politicians/Senators]] and [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Missing encyclopedic articles/American politicians/Representatives]].
# Merge [[List of United States Senators from X]], [[List of United States Representatives from X]], and [[List of Senators and Representatives of X]] into [[U.S. Congressional Delegations from X]]. (For example, see [[U.S. Congressional Delegations from Ohio]].)
# Create missing articles on House and Senate committees and subcommittees listed at [[List of United States Senate committees]] and [[List of United States House committees]], and defunct committees listed at [[United States Congressional committee]]
