List of Governors of Florida

 * Nominator(s): Golbez (talk) 01:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

The legend continues, we're now up to F in our long struggle to get every governor list featured (notwithstanding misfits like Wisconsin and Utah, but I prefer to go in order!), and with each iteration, things change. Taken from the recent Utah FLC are: Moving the constitutional information on succession down to the state (needed more prose down there anyway) and added more information on the territory to the introduction. New in this version of the template: Prose in the "other high offices" section! It always seemed a bit sparse. I have one question for our voters: Should the "other high offices" table include the years they served those other offices? I've always omitted them, because 1) If you really wanted to know, you'd click their article, 2) Some people serve non-contiguous stints in congress, and 3) It would heavily clutter up the table with, in my opinion, negligible gain. What do you think? That asked and said, I present this list for your consideration. --Golbez (talk) 01:10, 10 July 2010 (UTC)

Support excellent read. A commment tho. Sandman888 (talk) 09:15, 16 July 2010 (UTC)
 * "Most sources state Walker was a Democrat; the state archives say he was "Conservative"" Be ware of OR in the claim of "most". Also include said sources.
 * Every source I've found says he was a Democrat, I could include the NGA reference as an example. The only one that says otherwise is the official state archives, but those being the official archives, I felt they merited some form of inclusion (and I'll throw in a specific reference to that). They likely mean "Conservative Democrat", but they don't say. Do you have another way of wording this? --Golbez (talk) 21:10, 16 July 2010 (UTC)

Support. Well written and well sourced list. Ruslik_ Zero 19:10, 20 July 2010 (UTC)


 * Support. All issues resolved. Parutakupiu (talk)


 * Comment If you would like to move the list to "Governor of Florida", feel free to do it now. I'll take care of the rest of the paperwork. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:32, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Actually, considering that it currently lacks much information you'd expect to find on such a page (eligibility requirements, powers, etc.) it makes more sense to keep it here. I doubt it's of featured quality for a main article at present. --Golbez (talk) 15:36, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * So to clarify, you do intend to create a "Governor of Florida" article at some point. Dabomb87 (talk) 15:43, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
 * Or add stuff to this one to fit the requirements thereof, but I'd rather not race to shoehorn that in just to match the demands of the name. --Golbez (talk) 19:16, 27 July 2010 (UTC)
