===Article assessments===
{{Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Delaware articles by quality statistics}}
{{Main|Wikipedia:WikiProject Delaware/Assessment}}
The ratings are done in a distributed fashion through parameters in the {{tl|WikiProject Delaware}} project banner; this causes the articles to be placed in the appropriate sub-categories of [[:Category:Delaware articles by quality]], [[:Category:Delaware articles by importance]], [[:Category:Delaware articles needing attention]]. The quality and importance ratings serve as the foundation for an [[Wikipedia:Version 1.0 Editorial Team/Delaware articles by quality|automatically generated worklist]].

==Templates==

==Credit where it's due==
This Project is clearly a blatant rip-off of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject New Jersey|WikiProject New Jersey]], which in itself is a blatant rip-off of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Massachusetts|WikiProject Massachusetts]], which, in turn, is a blatant rip-off of [[Wikipedia:WikiProject Vermont|WikiProject Vermont]], for which [[User:EaglesFanInTampa|the creator]] of WP:WPDE (as I'm sure the other usurpers, as well) is eternally grateful, yet remoseful all at once.

==Candidate's names on ballots in US states==
We found in our research related to the 2016 historic election campaign (Hillary Clinton for US President) to the 2020 campaign that it's significant "in women's history" who is listed on the ballots in each of the states. This time in relationship to voter's choices and formal race withdrawals (now at Joe Biden will pick a woman VP; post withdrawal of Elizabeth Warren, Tulsi Gabbard, Amy Klobuchar, Kirsten Gillibrand, Kamala Harris), and in 2016, to "historic Green Party candidate Jill Stein" on reported 33 ballots against Democratic candidate Hillary Clinton (First Lady of Arkansas, First Lady of US, "Pres. Obama's Secretary of State"). ````Julie Ann Racino 2020````
