It's been over a year since the last nom, wherein there were no major issues brought up, it just died due to lack of interest. Hoping there's more interest now. Golbez (talk) 16:09, 7 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

;Comments from Jmnbqb
  • Number of governors in the lead needs to be updated to 46
  • There's no space in the infobox between the salary and year
  • Note A should be placed after punctuation
    • Above three done.
  • Tables can be made to be sortable
    • They can, but in this case, with the complex nature of the Lt Gov column, I'm not sure it would work well? ... ok so I tried it and I'm impressed at its ability to handle rowspans. Done!
  • Why have Note L when you place the party of each lieutenant governor anyways?
    • Accessibility; we can't convey information purely through color.
      • Gotcha.
  • The Living former governors section doesn't have any references
    • Does it need any? Do we ever need to reference that a person is still alive? And if we're referencing their deaths, ... I mean, we have their articles, that do such a better job of handling that. (Also, I'd be 150% fine with removing this section, I don't see the point of it)
      • I agree that removing it is probably for the best. It would also require a lot of constant updating (which like you said can just be accessed from their individual wiki pages).
        • Yay, removed, I can blame you when someone complains :> --Golbez (talk) 17:36, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Reference 31 needs to be reformatted (also needs an ISBN)
    • I think I've fixed what you want? Though it doesn't appear to have an ISBN.
      • Yep looks better.
  • Reference 51 needs to be reformatted
    • Fixed, though the AR Supreme Court's site appears to be down at the moment.
  • Reference 52 needs to be reformatted (also needs an ISBN)
    • See 31.
  • Reference 53 needs an ISBN
    • Done.
  • Date is wrong in Reference 59
    • Wow, nice catch. Done.

Good job! If you get a chance, I would appreciate a review on one of my listed FLCs. Jmnbqb (talk) 14:38, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • Thanks for the review! And I'll check them out. --Golbez (talk) 17:16, 13 March 2018 (UTC)[reply]

  • "Arkansas's state government " piped to a redirect.
  • "totaling 56 distinct terms." I don't really follow this terminology, but the table appears to have 46 numbered governors and 11 un-numbered governors.
    • Fixed; updated unnumbered, removed 'distinct terms', people can math if they need to.
  • "served only three days, the shortest term overall." care to note why it was so very short?
    • Added short explainer.
  • "Governors of the Territory of Arkansas" first para appears to be unreferenced.
  • Don't use "hash" to represent No.
  • John Pope is piped to a redirect.
  • As is " admitted to the Union".
  • First para of "Governors of the State of Arkansas" is also unreferenced.
  • "state constitution" is piped to a redirect.
  • Linkable items should be linked every time in sortable tables (i.e. Republican and Democrat need to be linked each time).
  • Samuel Adams and James M. Johnson are piped to a redirect.
  • Put em-dashe in blank image cells.
  • File:BenjaminTravisLaney.png needs to go, no fair use rationale for inclusion here.
  • (Not directly related, but the "African-Americans - Cities - Politics" hyphens here should be en-dashes)
  • Ref 3 needs an en-dash in the year range.
  • Tables should include row and col scopes for MOS:ACCESS.
