Don Young[edit]

Don Young is not an Alaska State Senator and hasn't been since 1973. He is a U.S. Representative from Alaska. (Note: this unsigned comment was left on 04:44, 2 October 2006 by 12.215.179.175. -- Yksin 01:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC))[reply]

True, but this category gathers articles on both past & present members of the Alaska State Senate. --Yksin 01:59, 6 April 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Informal for now - name change needed[edit]

Since the "parent article" is called Alaska Senate rather than Alaska State Senate (now a redirect), this category should be "Members of the Alaska Senate", to match "Members of the Alaska House of Representatives". When these pages were being organized originally, it may not have been realized that the territory had a legislature, too, and now that this is being taken into consideration, it creates a haphazard and unorganized way in which to go about things.
