List of Governors of Kentucky
Collaborative effort between myself and User:Golbez. Fully referenced and contains much useful information. Acdixon 14:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC) That's all for now.-- Crzycheetah 19:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)
 *  Comment 
 * I don't think it's necessary to split up the notes. It's kind of confusing to see two different number 2 notes in the lead, then there is a third [2] note in the main list.
 * You already have a link to Governor of Kentucky in the lead, so just get rid of the See also section.
 * The "Kentucky was part of Virginia until 1792; see List of Governors of Virginia for this period." sentence can be moved to the lead and the Earlier governors section can be deleted.
 * The Living former governors section needs expanding (add dates of birth) and mention an exact date(i.e. Living former governors as of July, 2007)
 * I agree with all except for the splitting of the notes; it seems very ugly to not only have the footnotes for that one table way at the end of the article, but to have references mixed in with footnotes. This is a shortcoming of the wiki software. I'll try changing the numbers at the top. --Golbez 00:01, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * OK, I've put in all the suggestions and re'numbered' the references to be letters instead. And in the meantime, I'll work on coding a patch for cite.php to allow for two classes of references. :P --Golbez 00:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support Nicely done. I'd suggest to create stub article for the red links since some people hate to see red links on a featured content. -- Crzycheetah 01:19, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Could you add a note to explain why there was no Lieutenant Governor after John Caldwell? -- Crzycheetah 01:22, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Died in office. Perhaps minor notes to that regard should be added, but I think that information is more apt in a "List of Lieutenant Governors of Kentucky" article. --Golbez 02:23, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I just noticed that you have notes for all "none"'s except that one, so I think it needs to be added for consistency.-- Crzycheetah 03:09, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Done; and in the meantime, I cleared out four lieutenant governors that I'm not convinced were actually lieutenant governors. Oy. --Golbez 08:17, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Does the list of living governors really need a date? I browsed around some other similar lists (living presidents, length of vice presidential terms, etc) and found no date disclaimer. --Golbez 15:13, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * That's actually my suggestion in case one day when one dies and no contributor remembers to take that name off this list, Wikipedia won't look too stupid. -- Crzycheetah 17:59, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I don't think it looks very encyclopedic myself, and I'm counting on members of WikiProject Kentucky (myself included) to update the list when such a major event occurs. That said, if consensus is to keep it, I'm not gonna bark. Acdixon 18:16, 13 July 2007 (UTC)

I see you guys are giving exact dates, all I wanted was " as of July, 2007" and not something like "as of today's date". Please, read WP:AO for further info about this stuff.-- Crzycheetah 18:34, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * I wasn't aware of the "as of" policy. As such, I'm definitely fine with it either way. Acdixon 19:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 * Support though since I was one of the two who worked heavily on it I dunno if that's entirely kosher :) --Golbez 11:00, 13 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support, an extremely solid list that provides value you couldn't get from anywhere else. --Agamemnon2 11:04, 13 July 2007 (UTC)


 *  Oppose . Needs images per criterion 3. Also add some text in the "living governors" section. Otherwise looks pretty good to me. Circeus 16:56, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Has images. What text do you propose? --Golbez 20:19, 15 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Did it myself. I'd like to see the images in the table, but if the result ends up looking like the Alabama table, I can see the issue.support Circeus 16:29, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
 * Support - Great work. The list is excellent. -- Steven Williamson (HiB2Bornot2B) - talk 20:31, 16 July 2007 (UTC)
