List of current and former capital cities within U.S. states
(was List of current and former capital cities within the United States)

Partial self-nom; easy to read table displays complex local histories. Hopefully. :) jengod 05:41, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * Nomination withdrawn.
 * It seems to be going through a radical overhaul - shall we leave it on the list as a candidate or would you prefer to bring it back later? -- ALoan (Talk) 18:36, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)


 * Object for now - generally, an excellent list and worthy of featured status, but: it needs some references; would it be possible to add some images (say, small icons of state flags, like the UN list below); and I'm not keen on some aspects of the presentation: CAPITAL LETTERS FOR STATES are off-putting, it should be possible to make the tables the same width (using % in the table heading), and some colours (other than white and grey) would make it more interesting to look at.  -- ALoan (Talk) 17:43, 6 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Thanks. We'll take another look at it. jengod 19:42, Jun 6, 2005 (UTC)
 * A map might be a helpful illustration. I hesitate a bit about adding the current state flags, as it's not necessarily the one used at the time of the former capital. As most capitals are mentioned in the linked articles, the references there should be sufficient. -- User:Docu
 * Yes - a map showing the location of the current and previous capitals would be great. Also, I note that some information ("when") is missing for the last section ("Within current possessions"). -- ALoan (Talk) 09:25, 8 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, looks good to me, although references would be helpful. – Quadell (talk) (sleuth) 16:04, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * Could use more information on capitals of colonies other than those which became the first 13 states. The title and introductory paragraph imply the list will be broad, but it ends as the familiar list of states and insular territories. -Acjelen 20:19, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * capitals of colonies other than those which became the first 13 states I'm sorry, I just want to clarify what you mean: Other British colonies like St. Kitts and Nevis and Nova Scotia or...We're working to get ya'll whatcha need. :) jengod 20:31, Jun 9, 2005 (UTC)
 * What about non-English colonies like New Mexico and Louisiana? Spanish colonies had capitals, didn't they? (I see that Spanish Florida is covered btw). And what of colonies that were later merged with other colonies?  Plymouth was the capitol of Plymouth Colony which later merged with Massachusetts, yet this is not mentioned under Massachusetts.

 * Object, comprehenisive list, but it could also use a map and, as stated above, small icons of flags. Phoenix2 23:16, 9 Jun 2005 (UTC)
 * Support, I think with a few more minor tweaks this list is featured material. Phoenix2 19:21, 10 Jun 2005 (UTC)
