List of counties in Alabama

 * Members of the WikiProject_Alabama have endeavored to bring this list up to featured list quality. I believe it now meets the qualifications set forth in What is a featured list. --Dystopos 20:16, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
 * Oppose
 * How many counties were there when Alabama became a state? It should be added in the lead.
 * The Origin and Licesne # columns need references.
 * The counties should not be linked in the origin column, since they're already linked in the Counties column.
 * This list states that Franklin County was formed by territorial legislature in 1818 and at the same time Marion County was formed by territorial general assembly. I think you need to explain the difference between territorial legislature and territorial general assembly.
 * In the Origin column, it states both "Formed from XXX County" and "part of XXX County". Just choose one version and go with it for cosistency.
 * All the names in the Named for column need dates(birth-death), plus it would be better to note that Jefferson was the 3rd U.S. President, Monroe 4th(?), Madison 5th, and so on.
 * It would be beneficial to mention where the county seats got their names from. I don't mean all county seats, just the ones that were used to name the county.
 * I think the fictional counties section is trivial and should be removed. I am not too sure of this, though.
 * The Defunct counties section would look better in a table, see List of counties in Massachusetts for an example.
 * Oh, almost forgot, is it possible to create a template for the imagemap at the top?
 * Re: defunct county, most of them are not "defunct", they were renamed, that's different. But I think the fictional counties are okay. We have them in List of parishes in Louisiana and I think it's just fine. However, both these section needs proper sourcing. Circeus 00:10, 23 August 2007 (UTC)
