Proposal to change symbol used to mark "reelected"[edit]

The current symbol used to mark "reelected", an "X", carries a negative connotation. It typically means "to cancel" or "to delete", neither of which is intended here.

I'd propose using another mark, such as ♦.

I'm putting this same proposal also under the First Confederate Congress.

It would also be useful for this to be stated plainly in the article that the symbol (whichever ends up being used) represents this. I had no idea what the 'X' meant, as RSStockdale says above, it looks like a negative mark. It's only by luck I saw this suggestion and learned the "reelected" meaning of the 'X' mark.

Proposal to cross-reference representatives who were in the Provisional, 1st, 2nd Confederate Congresses[edit]

I'd like to propose cross-referencing between the Provisional, First, and Second Confederate Congresses. I think that it should be kept simple. One possibility is after the name to put a mark:

[P] - When a member of the 1st or 2nd Confederate Congress was in the Provisional Confederate Congress.

[1] - When a member of the Provisional or 2nd Confederate Congress was in the 1st Confederate Congress.

[2] - When a member of the Provisional or 1st Confederate Congress was in the 2nd Confederate Congress.

I am also posting this suggestion under the Provisional and First Confederate Congress pages.
