Colors[edit]

We have to put in party designations. Color-blind readers can't necessarily see them. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Formatting issues. Color can be left in, but we need to have also the (D) and (R) for the parties.—Mark Adler (markles) 20:58, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Also people, like me, who have set monitors not to show site colors can not see intended colors. Skywriter 17:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Class 1, Class 2 differences[edit]

It is not clear what are the differences between Class 1 Senators and Class 2 Senators. Would someone place a definition. I would if I knew. I suspect it refers to junior and senior senators, but am not certain. Thanks.Skywriter 17:20, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, senators are elected every 6 years; since we have elections every two years in the US, these are staggered. Every two years, 1/3 of all senators are up for re-election. So there are three classes; Class 1 was the group whose first term ended 1791, Class 2's first term ended 1793, and Class 3's first term ended 1795. This means that all of the first class 1 senators only had a term of two years. And this continued, just add 6 years to each of the above years to find out when each class is up for re-election. (Class 1's term is up in 2007) This should be added somewhere. --Golbez 18:19, 3 June 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Adding Senator Wicker[edit]

Sorry, but I can't quite figure out how to get the table formatting correct so that it shows both Senator Lott and Senator Wicker serving during the 110th Congress. Any help? I appreciate it. Oregon Bear (talk) 23:55, 1 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]

  • Hi. I solved it with an inelegant use of row height. Ta-da!—Markles 01:19, 2 January 2008 (UTC)[reply]
