Thank You

Thank you for all your help on getting Governors of Utah into much better shape and through FL. My next list to push through is United States congressional delegations from Utah. Looks like you were also the major player in editing this too. Is there nothing you haven't started or edited? I'm starting to think you are not just one person, but several hundred who edit under Golbez. Only Indian's congressional delegation has made to FL, so there's not much out there to base Utah's on. Any suggestions would be EXTREMELY appreciated. If there are any articles you need help or man power, please don't hesitate to ask. I'm in your debt for helping me out.

I saw where you fixed up the wording on United States congressional delegations from Utah. Do you think it is FL worthy? If so, I'd like to be a co-nominator with you. I saw where you have been fixing up other Governor pages with the "Utah Plan".... that make me chuckle. I brought up Idaho's to the Utah plan specs. I'm having troubles finding sources for when territorial governors arrived and left. There is a book that should have the info, but I won't be able to get it until the end of the month. So, I'll finish up the territorial section then. I'll work on Oregon or Washington next unless you need another governor's list done first. Bgwhite (talk) 22:14, 30 June 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Washington Governors

I think I'm done with the List of Governors of Washington page. I cannot for the life of me find any more references on when a Territorial Governor took office. Do you have any suggestions? Most of the photos where already there. I've filled in some of the blanks. I have questions on copyright status of the missing Governors (and a few photos that are already there). Washington has a nice copyright status... almost anything the state produces is in the public domain. But, I'm not sure who produced some of the photos.

I made some changes to the Florida article. I'm working on updating the Wisconsin page to use the Utah Plan.... should have it done in the next couple of days. I finished updating the tables that you started on the congressional delegation from Utah page. I also added a "Other high offices held" section and table (same as from the governors pages).

Table format on Florida

"rv table change; it was a conscious decision, seeing how few governors served in the congress, I saw little point to the extra table columns."

Does this mean to remove the extra columns for congress out of all of the tables or just on ones with few governors serving in congress? Bgwhite (talk) 00:08, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oooops... also I'm split on having "(territorial)" and "(military)" under the Gubernatorial term column. On one side, it is redundant and would look better without it. On the other side, it is nice to make the distinction. Bgwhite (talk) 00:16, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

I'd vote for keeping the term column in the "Other high offices held" table. It is redundant, but in a good way. There are so many governors that if I see a name in that table I wouldn't have a clue from what time frame they were governor... it adds some context. Whereas the 'territorial' label is more of a given... before a certain date they were a territorial governor.
I'd keep the congressional table in the "Other high offices held" table for Florida. All 14 governors in that table was an H or S. Anything over the 7 to 10 range and add a congressional table? Bgwhite (talk) 01:19, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
I didn't know that the congressional column is for that state only. I'll have to adjust some of the other states I've been working on. Except for my goof on Branch, thought the others (Call, Marvin and Broward) also should be marked, now I know.
Same as the Utah page, unless I'm really passionate about something, I'll just state my case and defer any judgments on how/what/where/why things should go to you. You've been at this far longer than I have.
I got an email from Washington saying all the governor photos are public domain. So I added and updated the last of the photos. I'll fix the congressional column in a few minutes. Bgwhite (talk) 05:35, 7 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Wisconsin and FL

I know you just love me bugging you so....

I've finished updating the List of Governors of Wisconsin to current FL standards. The list is already at FL. I didn't change the wording much, mostly just the tables and adding sources. Take a look to see if I messed anything up. I'll look to updating another governor's FL next.

I'd like to submit an article to FLC tomorrow. Looks like the summer backlog is hitting FLC, so it probably would take a bit for an article to get through. Personally, I like to get congregational delegation of Utah out of the way first. If you want governors of Florida or Washington to go first that is fine too. If I submit something, I will add you as a co-nominator. Bgwhite (talk) 06:47, 8 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Updating FL governor lists

I've gone thru and updated 10 FL lists... Hawaii thru Wisconsin. I've tried to make them all consistent with current FL standards (aka utah plan). I mostly didn't update the wording in the lead or first few paragraphs, just made sure the paragraphs are in the right spot. Also checked for linkrot and updated the citations where necessary. Could you check and make sure things are ok. I'll do the same for Alabama-Delaware, but thankfully you've been keeping them upto date. Bgwhite (talk) 23:08, 13 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Oh, but One World Trade Center can have Office, Communication, etc as links? Not to mention "Dining"? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.116.9.68 (talk) 03:49, 14 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]
