I feel I've probably brought this list up to the standards established by the Alabama, California, and Kentucky lists. However I've been up for roughly 20 hours so it's possible something glaring slipped by me, but that's why the FLC process lasts a few days, right? :) --Golbez 21:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support - the first one is always free. --Golbez 21:00, 31 August 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Weak Oppose - It is a beautiful looking table. Is there a reason why some governors have citations in the table while others don't? Also, why aren't there citations for the other offices held. Thanks. ludahai 魯大海 14:10, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Can you be more specific? I see no governors with citations in the table. Maybe you mean footnotes? And in the case where there's no footnote, nothing interesting happened to that gubernatorial term. And there is a citation, in the prose preceeding the table, and then three citations in the table to handle governors not handled by that unified source. As for the general, non-controversial information of names, parties, and office terms, there's the general references. --Golbez 15:08, 1 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Why do you have notes for some governors, and not others? ludahai 魯大海 11:20, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- As stated, some had non-notable ends to their terms. The footnotes are to denote why a term ended (or in the rare case why it ended late), or sometimes to explain the situation with Reconstruction. For the others, the footnote would simply say, "Left office when he was supposed to." --Golbez 12:11, 9 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- In the Other high offices held section, there is a general reference cited under "L" for State governors. The first three governors have individual citations(D,M,N) because they were territorial governors and weren't mentioned in the "L" reference.--Crzycheetah 18:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Looks complete to me.--Pharos 02:03, 12 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support. Can't see any problems. BencherliteTalk 08:34, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support Looks as good as other governor FLs. --Crzycheetah 18:55, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- Support but is there a reason the notes have to be footnotes instead of right there in the table? Kappa 23:13, 14 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
- I see two reasons how it reduces clutter: 1) There is a space left for the pictures on the right side. 2)There are instances where the same note applies to two or more governors. --Crzycheetah 02:09, 15 September 2007 (UTC)[reply]
