Talk:1st Confederate States Congress

Proposal to change symbol used to mark "reelected"
The current symbol used to mark "reelected", an "X", carries a negative connotation. It typically means "to cancel" or "to delete", neither of which is intended here.

I'd propose using another mark, such as ♦.

I'm putting this same proposal also under the Second Confederate Congress.

Proposal to cross-reference representatives who were in the Provisional, 1st, 2nd Confederate Congresses
I'd like to propose cross-referencing between the Provisional, First, and Second Confederate Congresses. I think that it should be kept simple. One possibility is after the name to put a mark:


 * [P] - When a member of the 1st or 2nd Confederate Congress was in the Provisional Confederate Congress.
 * [1] - When a member of the Provisional or 2nd Confederate Congress was in the 1st Confederate Congress.
 * [2] - When a member of the Provisional or 1st Confederate Congress was in the 2nd Confederate Congress.

I am also posting this suggestion under the Provisional and Second Confederate Congress pages.
