List of Governors of Colorado[edit]

In the grand tradition of (most recently) List of Governors of Wisconsin, another governor list. Exhaustively cited, I think, and while it doesn't have all the new features of the Wisconsin list, I'll begrudgingly add them if so asked! --Golbez (talk) 17:40, 16 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Comment White space alert! The Edward M. McCook's image creates huge white space in the Governors of the State of Colorado section. If you could find pictures of all Governors of the Territory of Colorado and added them in the table, that would be great. Otherwise, I'd suggest you to remove the aforementioned image.--Crzycheetah 06:14, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • IE fails yet again, I hadn't noticed this problem because I only use Firefox. I've moved all the images to the top heading, that solved the problem, what do you think? --Golbez (talk) 17:40, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
      • It's fine now. More comments:
        1. See also section contains redundant links, must go.
          • Normally I would agree, but since Governor of Colorado is kind of a hidden link in the header, I saw no harm in relinking it below. I did remove the Lt Gov link.--Golbez (talk) 15:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • The other 2 links (law & history) are in the {{colorado}} template, as well. Is it really necessary to have them in the see also section? Just asking.--Crzycheetah 20:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • In that case, no, I'd mostly ignored the existence of that template. Removing them. --Golbez (talk) 21:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        2. Living former governors section needs to be updated to January 2008.
        3. General references should be formatted properly (publisher, access-date).
        4. I'd like to see the terms instead of the notes.
          • Damn you, Wisconsin! *shakes fist* That will take some time. --Golbez (talk) 15:28, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
            • Done; and in the process, found a major error in the intro that took over an hour of Googling to fix. :( oh well. WISCONSIIIIN~! --Golbez (talk) 20:36, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
              • Gotta love Wisconsin! If Wisconsin weren't created, then that major error would still be here! I don't even want to imagine the consequences.--Crzycheetah 20:50, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
                • Hmph. And yes, I found another obscure error on the Alabama list just now while switching it to Terms format. --Golbez (talk) 21:02, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
        --Crzycheetah 21:05, 17 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Well done! --Crzycheetah 21:59, 18 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support After looking through it, I found only two very minor things: is the word "only" necessary in note #8? It makes more sense to me either without it, or changed to "not appointed until". Also, in note #10, is the comma after "office" necessary? In earlier times, I might have made a comment about the stand-alone years in the Territorial Governors table, but, after what I went through trying to find dates like that for the Wisconsin Governors list, I'm quite willing to believe that they can't be found. And speaking of the Wisconsin Governors list .... glad it helped you find an error ;P —Salmar (talk) 02:03, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Both fixed. And yeah, for some reason it is completely impossible, at least with the sources available to me and my google fu, to find some territorial dates. --Golbez (talk) 04:38, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • It seems normal now that featured tables with 2 or more entries are made sortable by column. So the tables here should be made sortable. Hmains (talk) 23:56, 20 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
    • Impossible to do because of the Lt. Governor column having half-row entries. The sorting would break. --Golbez (talk) 02:05, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support - Well done. Geraldk (talk) 03:36, 21 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
