Up next in the United States congressional delegations series from me is the state of Colorado! Previous lists included Utah, Indiana, Hawaii, Connecticut, and Arizona. I've tried my best to implement all the suggestions provided in previous nominations (in particular, with referencing; thank you EN-Jungwon!). Looking forward to hearing more of those suggestions! Thanks! Staraction (talk | contribs) 17:51, 27 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Comments

  • "The current dean of the Colorado delegation is" - what does this mean?
  • "eight representatives comprising of five Democrats and three Republicans" - either "comprising" or "consisting of" would be grammatically valid but "comprising of" is not
  • You have two consecutive sentences which start with "Many senators from Colorado" and "Many of Colorado's senators". Reword to avoid repetition......?
  • Schroeder and Polis image captions need full stops
  • "Colorado was apportioned with two seats" => "Colorado was apportioned two seats"

Source review and general comments

edit

I'll look at sources and add in any general comments. Regards, BennyOnTheLoose (talk) 00:41, 7 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Sources

  • I'm not too famiiar with all the sources, so give me a little time to investigate the books etc. No immediate red flags, though.
  • Newspaper citations are inconsistent, e.g. whether publisher and/or loction are specified. Is there a rationale for this (e.g. based on how well known the papers are?)
  • New York Times citations are inconsistent, e.g.'"Congressman Vaile Dies in Automobile". The New York Times. New York, New York.' has the location but '"Lawrence Lewis, Congressman, Dies". The New York Times.' doesn't.

General

  • I would find it useful to have a bit more detail about the CPVI ratings in the Current delegation section (not too much, just a sentence or two), to help interpret "D+29", "D+4" etc.
  • The Current U.S. representatives from Colorado table has "residence" but the source has hometown. Are these equivalent in American English? (To me, a hometown is where one was born or is from, not necessarily the current residence.)

(more to follow....)
