I like some of the changes you've made to the standard

I like the two-column format
I'm OK with changing (Rep) to (R)
I'm ambivalent about removing the individual state links to delegations article - replaced by a single link to the list of delegation articles. On one hand, the black text looks better; on the other hand, the reader has an extra step to get where he wants to go - and some probably won't bother. I can't see much of a good reason to not have individual links to each article. Contemplating finishing 86th through 100th congresses, it will certainly be easier if the state delegations links are immediately accessible, which makes me think others would appreciate it too.

The reason for the single link is as you state, readability, otherwise the many links are fine. It seems to me everything gets lost in all the blue, and the reader might appreciate finding their way around the page too. Besides, how would they ever know the link is to the delegations? I might have assumed it went to the state article.

I would like to see death dates, appointments, special elections, and resignations restored. Anytime multiple people serve in the same seat during the same congress, a brief explanation is warranted. Why should such statements be removed? --Appraiser 12:51, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

I agree that the dates would be nice, but the two columns seem to preclude that, again for readabilty. I think it becomes too cluttered, particularly on the earlier Congresses where there were many more changes. You may notice this information is retained on the supplemental articles 84th United States Congress - Political Parties & 84th United States Congress - State Delegations.

What size screen and screen resolution are you using? I don't have any trouble with the two columns and some other text, but I usually use large screens, so my experience my not be universal.--Appraiser 22:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

By the way, I appreciate your careful and thoughtful editing. There is so much detail I have a tough catching it all. stilltim 21:54, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks. There is a lot to be done. It's nice to have effort appreciated. --Appraiser 22:47, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Fair use rationale for Image:John mccormack.jpg[edit]

Image:John mccormack.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.

GOP president of a DNC Senate?[edit]

How was Nixon Senate President when the majority was Democrats? Bizzybody (talk) 00:41, 5 May 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Dingell out?[edit]

The Dingell sentence is now outdated, he was replaced in office by his wife Debbie -- but how to rewrite that? Just delete it? Seems a shame to lose interesting material in such a short article. Did not know what to do.
