Kumioko beat me to the punch on the Presidents list, but here are the veeps. Geraldk (talk) 20:24, 24 June 2009 (UTC)
 * Thanks and props to you as well I was going to submit that as well. Here are a couple comments regarding this page from me


 * There are no DAB pages, the external links chacker says one is a dead link (soft 404) but it works for me on the page when I click on it so I think it might be a false positive.
 * I ran it through AWB and all I found was some minor formatting that I fixed. --Kumioko (talk) 21:01, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

My comments at Featured list candidates/List of Presidents of the United States/archive2 also apply to this list. i would like the two to be consistent because they are very close topics. The two of you nominators can decide which styles to implement for both. Thanks, Reywas92 Talk  23:43, 24 June 2009 (UTC)

 * The references aren't good enough. I only checked a random one but basically the dates aren't covered. Looking at the Sherman ref and found no mention of his term dates apart from the year. The Month DD bit is completely unreferenced and I guess that goes for a lot/all? of the others.
 * I think some of this information could be merged by using sortable tables: List of United States Vice Presidents by time in office, List of United States Vice Presidents by time in office
 * Per comments at Featured list candidates/List of Presidents of the United States/archive2, does the whole row need colouring, why not just the party cell?
 * I've added some fact tags.
 * Also on prose: the lead says "Their primary function is to succeed to the Presidency if that office becomes open due to the death or resignation of a sitting President.", but the source says "The U.S. Constitution established the office of vice president primarily to provide a successor in the event of the president's death, disability, or resignation." IMO the "disability" part is important as it covers the Section 3 of the XXV Ammendment where by they can become Acting President when the President is unable to do his job, e.g. when in hospital etc.
 * Capital letter stuff. Congress is a title as in United States Congress so it should be "confirmation by both houses of Congress"
 * Similarly the titles are Twelfth Amendment and Twenty-fifth Amendment (including in that source). Therefore this should be used not "12th ammendment" etc.

Comment: Some of the references are actually for the wrong vice presidents. The John Adams reference links to Jefferson, and the Jefferson reference links to Adams. I haven't looked through all of them, but it might be wise to check all the references for accuracy. -- Nomader (Talk) 05:41, 28 June 2009 (UTC)

Withdraw It's gonna take a while to work out these reference issues, and I'm on vacation, so I can't put in much work.Geraldk (talk) 19:10, 28 June 2009 (UTC)
