List of Governors of Delaware

While bumping my way around Wikipedia, I found this list. It meets all of the criteria. My only edit to this list was to tweak the lead and remove links from section headings, as this is mostly the work of Stilltim. It should be a featured list.

Support - a nice find. My only caveat is that a slightly longer lead section would be nice. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:20, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Comment - Just a few things: Is it possible to change the party colours scheme to one with more contrast? In a TFT screen some colours look the same (that depends on the viewing angle, of course). If the colours have an explanation and are used like that in other articles, just keep it. Second, the first table has the same kind of information as the others, so, I think it would be better if it had the same size. Apart from these things, the list is good.

- The colour scheme used here is used in other governor lists. Please clarify your second point in more detail. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 22:35, 9 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
  - The first table is slightly narrower than all the other tables which appear to all be the same size. Not sure how that wikitable works, can we use em: to set the table width still? Rmhermen 02:08, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I was talking about the width, the first table should have the same width of the remaining, I think it is aesthetically better. About the colors, leave it like that, but in a low contrast screen some of them look very similar. Afonso Silva 13:02, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

I adjusted the widths to 90% in each table. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Comment I will support as soon as there is a nice lead. Renata 13:53, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
- I added another two sentences. Miss Madeline | Talk to Madeline 20:09, 10 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Support. My only gripe is it says the current governor left office on Jan. 20, 2009. While that may be when the next governor is set to be sworn in, Wikipedia is not a crystal ball. The current governor could resign or otherwise leave their post earlier than planned. I'd change it to say incumbant and add when the next swear-in date is as a note at the bottom.

- I modified as proposed in this good suggestion. stilltim 10:16, 11 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
Support: Looks good now. Could use a mention in the lead about the difference in President/Governor. Rmhermen 23:22, 12 May 2006 (UTC)[reply]
