Sortable rows[edit]
I didn't respond a couple of days ago when this was first suggested, because I thought it would work out. Now I realize there are some limitations.
The way we were doing it gave a sense of how many positions there were in each administration - for example you could see that Bush had for example 24 positions called czar. If it is all resorted then it looks like he had 38 or whatever because he had to appoint successors. So I think this is a lot of work and might produce a distorted result. The only thing someone wants to see by sorting, really, is how many czars per administration, and that is easily done with a short table like the one I posted at the bottom.
Anyway, sorry I didn't respond earlier, but I didn't see the downside.W E Hill (talk) 08:53, 28 August 2009 (UTC)
RE: Multiple citations[edit]
Thanks for the double notice -- ironically I saw the one on the discussion page for czars before I saw this one, so I answered there. —Regards W E Hill (talk) 09:42, 4 September 2009 (UTC)

Hi,
You appear to be eligible to vote in the current Arbitration Committee election. The Arbitration Committee is the panel of editors responsible for conducting the Wikipedia arbitration process. It has the authority to enact binding solutions for disputes between editors, primarily related to serious behavioural issues that the community has been unable to resolve. This includes the ability to impose site bans, topic bans, editing restrictions, and other measures needed to maintain our editing environment. The arbitration policy describes the Committee's roles and responsibilities in greater detail. If you wish to participate, you are welcome to review the candidates' statements and submit your choices on the voting page.

The article Assistant Secretary for International Affairs has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:
This article is vague and poor-quality. Several "Assistant Secretaries for International Affairs" positions exist in the U.S., and until recently, this article only acknowledged the DHS position, and it still conflates at least two different positions in the list of officials. This position also doesn't appear to meet WP:GNG, and even if it does, it should probably be deleted per WP:TNT.
While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, pages may be deleted for any of several reasons.
You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the {{proposed deletion/dated}} notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.
Please consider improving the page to address the issues raised. Removing {{proposed deletion/dated}} will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. 1990'sguy (talk) 15:58, 1 January 2020 (UTC)
