The major problem is the sourcing. No information can be verified. The lead, the list, and the notes need sources. There are two general references, but one is a dead link and the other is just the main page of the official website of the President. Ir also fails criteria 1 and 2 of our main criteria.--Crzycheetah 21:58, 27 September 2008 (UTC)[reply]

- Both links are live. Where is the dead link? As for the lead they can be easily referenced so I'll be working on that... –Howard the Duck 04:50, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- ...and leads aren't really supposed to have footnotes, right? The only statements that should be referenced are the 4th and 5th paragraphs. –Howard the Duck 04:53, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- "and leads aren't really supposed to have footnotes, right?" It depends on the information given in the lead. If it is anything that is a supposition, or anything that could be challenged as WP:OR, yes, it should have a source given for it. For example, the fourth intro paragraph, The First Republic and the Second Republic are not a part of the existing Constitutional succession (begun in 1935), and as such not counted in the order of terms. should be sourced, IMO, and I would find sources for the final paragraph as well, personally. I would also suggest that using inline citations (see WP:FOOT, WP:CIT, and {{reflist}} if you're unsure how these work). Ariel♥Gold 09:39, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
- I've dealt with footnotes in the past so I should know how they should work. I'll be getting refs for third, fourth and sixth paragraphs. –Howard the Duck 14:00, 7 October 2008 (UTC)[reply]
