Experience

I think this page should match the US Presidents page and instead of having Public experience, it should just list Government experience and therefore accept Military experience as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 45.47.212.54 (talk) 21:13, 7 May 2017 (UTC)

Error Fixed

Made the change while not logged in but edited Florida's governor's color to reflect that he is a Indep. and not a Dem. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Salestron (talkcontribs) 17:11, 9 June 2010 (UTC)

Repeated information

Information about the longest-serving governors is already covered under the "Tenure" subheading of the "Demographics" heading. Why do we need it repeated under "Seat Up"? Memworking (talk) 13:56, 26 January 2009 (UTC) Memworking

picture

The KY governor's picture is a bad one- difficult to see the face. Anything better out there? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 204.118.68.135 (talk) 02:09, 6 October 2008 (UTC)

I've updated the article to show the future term limits of ongoing incumbents; all that remains to be done is to enter the 11 new names (plus V.I.) gradually as they're sworn in, and revise the accompanying "seat up" notations to 2010. MisfitToys 21:42, 9 November 2006 (UTC)

Current governors of states and territories of the United States

How would one go about changing the table at the bottom of every Governor's page titled "Current governors of states and territories of the United States"? Metstotop333 19:09, 31 December 2006 (UTC)

Dates of of terms

New York Governor Eliot Spitzer's (and probabaly others) term started on January 1, 2007 at noon and ends on January 1, 2011 at noon. He and others should be listed as 2007-2011. I think it is important to be precise!65.96.133.159 20:32, 2 January 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:Rick perry.jpg

Image:Rick perry.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.
