Currently, congressional delegations from Indiana is the only FL congressional delegation list. I've tried to use Indiana and sort of the same format as the recently FL list Governors of Utah Bgwhite (talk) 23:15, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment. by statewide popular vote is repeated three times (in the lead, and two times in the first section). Can you reduce repetition? Ruslik_Zero 19:02, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Representative Leatherwood Died while in office Why is 'Died' capitalized here? It looks like part of the name. Ruslik_Zero 19:03, 15 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Both quibbles are fixed Bgwhite (talk) 01:50, 16 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Support. I do not see any serious problems. Ruslik_Zero 18:01, 20 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comment In the lead image caption: does "Delegation" need to be in caps? And shouldn't it be plural? Jujutacular T · C 17:55, 23 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
It is now "delegation". Fixed on Indiana's page too. Hmmm, interesting question on should it be plural. Personally, I think is should be singular... it is only one delegation. But, that would make the title to the page wrong. Should the title be renamed? Bgwhite (talk) 01:24, 24 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I think at least the title is correct. Reference.com defines a delegation as "a group or body of delegates". Utah sends two delegations two Congress: one to the Senate and one to the House. The map however is only talking about the House, so there actually I believe you are correct. Does that interpretation sound correct? (I'm fine with it). Jujutacular T · C 19:32, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
Yes, that makes sense to me. Bgwhite (talk) 05:46, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Just had my minor tidbit that was cleared up, thanks. Everything looks good. Jujutacular T · C 17:53, 26 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments –
  • Delegates from Utah Territory: "taking more area from the northeast corner, giving Utah Territory its final borders." Minor point, but for flow reasons I think "from the northeast corner and giving..." would be better. Makes more sense if you read the whole sentence to yourself.
  • Representatives from the State of Utah: "based on the state's population as determines by the United States Census". "determines" is a little typo.
  • Should there be a period at the end of note 6?
  • References 3 and 4 should indicate that the links are in PDF format. There's a format= parameter of the cite templates that can be used for this purpose. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Giants2008 (talk • contribs) 23:23, 25 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

All comments below have been "fixed" unless stated otherwise Bgwhite (talk) 06:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

  • Caption also states 2003 to 2013 while the lead says incumbents sit for six years so I'm confused again. I guess all current incumbents will be up for re-election in 2013, having all been elected in 2003? Perhaps a more explicit statement would help here.
    • Caption states the House of Representatives and lead states incumbents from the House sits for two years. Also, the elections are held in 2012, but they don't take office till 2013. Bgwhite (talk) 06:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "There have been 56 people who..." not at all keen on "There have been", I know you want to avoid starting a sentence with "Fifty-six" but this is redundant prose.
  • "who served 22 years from 1981 to 2003" a quick repeat of "serve" makes this read poorly.
  • "Only three women have been a member" just a personal thing perhaps, but isn't this better as "Only three women have been members..."?
  • And shouldn't it be "all as representatives." rather than "all representatives."?
  • Class III or Class 3?
  • "Utah has had three districts since 1983." ref?
  • "Representatives from the State of Utah" images aren't same width in Safari.
    • Added a stack tage. All images have "thumb" as the size. Is there something else that could be done? Bgwhite (talk) 06:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
  • "Other high offices held" make the cols the same width from table to table. Sources->Source (or Ref) because there's always only one.
  • Oh, and what's a "high office" here?
  • Are notes 2 and 9 referenced anywhere?

  • Lead image appears to contravene WP:ACCESS as unless you can tell the difference between red and blue, you can't work out which portion of Utah is which. And the caption needs some work, because it isn't an image of the delegation, it's a map split into three...
    • Updated the caption. Not sure what to do about the colors. I could remove red and blue and just leave the outline with the numbers???? Bgwhite (talk) 06:19, 29 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
      • Still fails ACCESS because you're using just colour to differentiate between Democrat and Republican. The Rambling Man (talk) 17:15, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
        • Found a better image that doesn't use colours. Bgwhite (talk) 18:42, 30 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
