United States Senate elections, 1804, let me know if i can help, and add to the template

Election might be a bit of a misnomer since direct election to the senate didn't occur until 1914. I realize that technically the title's correct, and it probably should stay as is, but maybe you'll consider putting in a note about the 17th amendment's change to the process, or some similar recognition.

In a related vein, I think this vein of articles is valuable, but perhaps we could add more to the core article template, that might help the stub building process. Let me know if I can help. Shadowjams (talk) 08:55, 1 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Great work!!! It is an election, albeit by legislatures, not by the people. Keep it up! —Markles 13:11, 2 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Consistency with rows

Let's try something, since you're making new articles (THANK YOU, btw). Let's be consistent about how many seats are in each of the Senate Composition charts. I'd like to try 20 seats per row. Plus, let's put the smallest (third) parties in the middle between Dems & republicans. See what I've just done at United States Senate elections, 1858. —Markles 02:57, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Okay. Emperor of Earth (talk) 05:22, 3 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

In some articles, you've decided NOT to go with 20 per row?—Markles 12:53, 21 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Well for the early senate elections which have a lot fewer senators, I think just two rows, adjusted for the number of senators, will suffice, while using the 20-seat rows for the elections with 40+ senators.—Emperor of Earth (talk) 02:53, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

OK.—Markles 13:00, 22 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Awesome

I've noticed a few more of your additions since my comment above, and all I can say is that these are great additions to the encyclopedia, and thank you for your hard work. This is exactly the kind of solid article creation the project needs. I wish there were more dedicated mass-edit editors that made real contributions like this. Let me know if I can help.

Blocks of 10

How do you like separating blocks of 10? Check out the change I just made to United States Senate elections, 1904.—Markles 13:32, 14 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Hmmm... Well, I just think it's a little overly complex to have two seperate blocks for the Senate compositions, which causes there to be four different blocks for each before-and-after composition. I think it would be simpler just to continue having one block for the "before" and one block for the "after".—Emperor of Earth (talk) 03:01, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- OK. How about now? I've simplified it considerably. It's easier to read and to edit. Readers can compare blocks of 10 a lot easier than blocks of 20.—Markles 12:23, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- - It's better than before, but... I still think just having blocks of twenty for most senate compositions is best. The blocks of 10 may be simpler to read, but they consume a lot more space on the page. And as to editing the 10-block easier, well it's an election — its pretty much done after it's first put up. And as to other senate compositions, like the post-17th Amendment ones, I think the 24-block and 25-block ones should remain. They look fine.—Emperor of Earth (talk) 19:47, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]

- - - That's fine. I've reverted.—Markles 20:02, 15 April 2010 (UTC)[reply]
