Talk:List of United States senators from North Carolina

Expiration of Term?
Several Senators are listed in the article as having left office due to "expiration of term". How is that different from completing a term? I haven't seen such a designation on any of the other Senate pages. Would someone please add a footnote explaining this further? — Preceding unsigned comment added by ElCharismo (talk • contribs) 15:33, 2 March 2006 (UTC)
 * I think that the designation was supposed to mean that the senator in question did not lose his fight for re-election, did not die, and did not resign (i.e. he or she "retired"). But you are correct, it should probably be done away with and replaced with something like "retired."Awbeal 23:41, 11 September 2006 (UTC)

Note on Jim Broyhill
I listed the reason for the end of Broyhill's service as losing the special election because that was the term 1986-1987. He also lost the general election for the term 1987-1993, but I thought that would be relevent only if Broyhill served to the end of East's term in 1987. Chronicler3 21:44, 25 November 2006 (UTC)

Please remove Timothy Bloodworth portrait
I noticed that there is a portrait allegedly of Timothy Bloodworth linked on this page. This is not a portrait of Timothy Bloodworth. It is a portrait of Willie Jones. The Bloodworth portrait comes from a website honouring educators who made a difference in the world; that site does not cite the image. The Willie Jones article links northcarolinahistory.org, who in turn cite University of North Carolina Chapel Hill Libraries for the source of the portrait. The portrait also visually looks like another portrait of Willie Jones in that article. Every other copy of the image attributing it to Bloodworth online cites either Wikipedia or does not offer a citation and dates after the image was put on Wikipedia. The US Senate Historical Office says Timothy Bloodworth does not have a known portrait, image, or depiction -- one of a small number of senators that does not have one. So overall I would say there is virtually no evidence this is an image of Timothy Bloodworth and stronger evidence it is not.

Unfortunately I can't seem to wrap my head around the table syntax for this page to make the edit myself. I already removed the image from the Timothy Bloodworth page on Wiki proper. 128.97.227.126 (talk) 23:52, 13 August 2018 (UTC)


 * Ok, I'll remove it. I also made a delete request at https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Timothy_Bloodworth.jpg.  —GoldRingChip 01:42, 14 August 2018 (UTC)
