United States Senate

Self-nomination. -- Emsworth 22:15, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support- great article, non-biased and explains history, procedures, etc. clearly. Flcelloguy 02:56, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support- excellent information covering every aspect of the Senate. I wish there were more than just three pictures, but that's just my personal preference. Brendan OShea 03:22, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Support- very good article. I've refered to it more than once myself. I may hunt for more good PD pictures to add if I have the time, but I think it's ready for FA status now. --Satori 04:26, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

• Support. Well written, and importantly, not too long. As good as if not better than Canadian Senate, a featured article. Harro5 08:27, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

• Support. Phils 10:05, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support: Up to Emsworth's usual standard Giano | talk 12:37, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

I think this is your best so far!

• Support- Explains the Senate very well, and is not overly long. It's neutral, and it's a great article. Matjlav 17:33, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Object mildly. I would like to see specific sources cited for some assertions. I have marked up the article accordingly. This is a pleasure to read so I would be happy to see the citations in comments or using Template:Inote. --Theo (Talk) 18:11, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • I've added the relevant sources. Also, I would like to thank everyone for the support; I don't believe that any of my previous nominations has been received with such kind remarks. -- Emsworth 19:20, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)

    Support wholeheartedly. --Theo (Talk) 07:27, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)

• Comment: Would someone please edit the gallery of portraits to lines of 3 images each? As they are now, they are slightly too wide for 800x600 screens. Mgm|^(talk) 19:07, Jun 10, 2005 (UTC)

• Support, well done. Phoenix2 19:24, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Comment: Please remove the image gallery. It is unnecessary, a separate page could be made to discuss minorities in the Senate, this is not appropriate and distracts from the prose. Images should be related to the prose, and the history section does not discuss any of the individuals in the image gallery. Deus Ex 00:09, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
  • In view of changes, Support Deus Ex 00:34, 11 Jun 2005 (UTC)
• Support  =Nichalp (Talk)= 04:55, Jun 11, 2005 (UTC)
• Support Tough it could be more grounded in recent literature on the politics of Congress, such as the work of Barbara Sinclair, Terry Moe, and Morris Fiorina. 172 06:06, 13 Jun 2005 (UTC)
