Talk:Florida secession convention

Notability
I have resubmitted the draft. The argument that "much of this" is already covered in another article seems problematic. What about the rest of it? What about additional information that will be added to this article as it's expanded? Since it already doesn't fit you must acquit. Obviously a notable subject. Follup meetings in April and into 1862 haven't even been covered yet. FloridaArmy (talk) 17:34, 7 December 2018 (UTC)

Attendees
I think a list of attendees and how theu voted would be good to include. I understand there were than one vote but the key one would seem to be for or against immediate secession (once the motion to delay was defeated). I guess a record of that vote would be okay to include if it exists as well. FloridaArmy (talk) 21:18, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Spellings I believe some of the spelling may be off. Pinkney from Monroe County shoud I think be Pickney. and from Duval County I think it may be James A. Kirksey (James Kirksey Plantation) FloridaArmy (talk) 22:57, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Yep. Also, it's bad practice to cite a blog, though it can lead to finding sources. Cake  (talk) 23:28, 21 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Here is a more legible Ordinance of Secession. Cake  (talk) 23:33, 21 December 2018 (UTC)

All the state senators would be notable. I see in the docs it often identifies them and their districts. not sure if we should add a column to note whether they were senators of delegates? A notes column might be good. Several died in the Civil War. Some are not notable bit for example had a son who became a congressman. I think it's interesting and helpful to be able to say a bit about them especially where we won't.have separate articles on them. I also wonder of we should add  back innthe numbers and use the photo illustration with their pics? FloridaArmy (talk) 00:21, 22 December 2018 (UTC)


 * Yeah, a notes section might be interesting, though I'd wait to find one who isn't notable enough for his own article. Struggling to remember how to make it sort by last name. Also, the picture description has the numbers, and I don't think it has any significance apart from the picture. 00:28, 22 December 2018 (UTC)

Delegates
I believe I read that a statewide election was held to select delegates but an entry I just read here says State Senators made up half the commission members and delegates (elected I assume?) made up the other half. FloridaArmy (talk) 23:10, 21 December 2018 (UTC)
 * Ben Saxon was a doctor and at least a guy with the name S. S. Alderman had one of the first apiaries in Wewahitchka. Can't find any more about them. Cake  (talk) 04:07, 29 December 2018 (UTC)
