I have done some massive reconstruction of this article, including referencing, cleanup and adding prose. Now this is my first time working directly with a list so maybe something has gone by unnoticed but I will gladly attend any issues presented in this nomination, my presentation here is based on the fact that the list is complete (I checked this issue several times) and up to date, thanks for your time. - Caribbean~H.Q. 06:46, 10 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • unnecessary linking of every standalone year provides nothing but link clutter. Hmains 05:20, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
 Done Standalone dates are de-linked. - Caribbean~H.Q. 06:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose
    • Could use more images of individual governors
    • No point in having the list stretch over all the width of the page.
    • If you intend to source everything separately, nearly half of 1900-1960is missing sources
    • Mixing colors for visual (which are arguably not necessary anyway) and colors for aprty is a bad, bad idea.
    • Color key for the parties needed (not everyone can be expected to make the association)
    • A lead image would be really nice.
  • That's mostly what I can see. I'll go and give the lead a copyedit now. Circeus 23:09, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I cut the alternate jobs of the Spanish governors so that the long table isn't as wide as the page, I can remove the colors of the third and fourth table from those governors that were not part of a political party, but I'm not sure about removing the light yellow color from the large table because considering its size not having color there might make it somewhat hard to read for some people, do you think this should be done? I will work with the images and color key now, thanks for reviewing. - Caribbean~H.Q. 23:33, 13 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
You could have kept the "alternate jobs", just with a width limit (though having images on the right already helps). The color key might not be so necessary on second thought, but then...it did take me some time to realize those where not the republicans and democrats... The "traditional" color key is done with {{legend}} or {{legend2}} (the latter for single-line legends). A last suggestion might be to take references 7, 8 and 9 and make them "general" references. When you get to that much uses of a reference, the links become almost useless anyway. Circeus 02:15, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I understand, this will be fully attended when college its done tommorow so it can be done correctly. - Caribbean~H.Q. 04:02, 15 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Oppose. Every American governor gets an article but only three of the Spanish governors get linked? Seems POV. Rmhermen 17:38, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Only the ones that have articles are linked, most of the colonial governors only served for extremely short periods and practically no information of them is found, this oppose doesn't appear to make sense this list is responsible for listing the governors but if no notability is established for one of them and it doesn't have an article that doesn't mean that the name of that person should be excluded of the list. - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:40, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
In this case, I'm not clear that the early ones were all notable enough to get articles. I googled a few random ones and drew almost nothing, though maybe Wikipedia:WikiProject Latinos or Wikipedia:WikiProject Spain can help looking into that. Circeus 23:51, 16 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
I added a color legend to the "Governors under the Constitution of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico" section to make identification of the parties easier without the need of having to read the entire section, I was thinking about removing the "References" field of the tables and adding a message at the bottom of each one that says: References for this section are: [1] [2] [3] - how does that sound? - Caribbean~H.Q. 01:57, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support — sourced, color-coded, has images, complete, and contains a lot of non-list-y bagckground information. Well done, CHQ. --Agüeybaná 22:03, 17 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support. Circeus 02:33, 18 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Looks good. -- Scorpion0422 02:16, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Support Fine list; easy to use Hmains 03:09, 22 October 2007 (UTC)[reply]
