Content notice template

[edit]

{{Bioguide}} looks like this:
Public Domain This article incorporates public domain material from the Biographical Directory of the United States Congress

[edit]

{{CongBio}} allows linking to the Bioguide, using the subject as the parameter. For members who served only before 1991.

For example, Henry Clay's biography is at http://bioguide.congress.gov/scripts/biodisplay.pl?index=C000482,
so {{CongBio|C000482}} will return an external link to that biography:

  • United States Congress. "WikiProject U.S. Congress/Bioguide (id: C000482)". Biographical Directory of the United States Congress.
[edit]

{{CongLinks}} uses a multi-parameter to allow linking to the Bioguide along with several other sources for members from 1991-present. This is preferred.

There is more information available online for a more recent politician such as Hillary Clinton, so {{CongLinks | congbio = c001041 | votesmart = 55463 | washpo = Hillary_Clinton | govtrack = | opencong = | ontheissues = Hillary_Clinton.htm | surge = | legistorm = | fec = P00003392 | opensecrets = N00000019 | followthemoney = | cspan = 19027 | rose = 1897 | imdb = 0166921 | nyt = c/hillary_rodham_clinton | guardian = world/hillaryclinton | worldcat = lccn-n93-10903 | nndb = 022/000025944 | findagrave = }} will return additional relevant links:
