United States congressional delegations from Hawaii

 * Nominator(s): theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)

Hi! I've been working on this page for a bit–taking after United States congressional delegations from Utah, I added language and citations, added photos by the lists, updated the tables to look nicer, added notes, and cleaned up/culled templates that didn't make sense anymore, and I think this fits the FL criteria now. This is my first FL nomination, so I am and always will be happy to take suggestions! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:56, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Comments
 * "meaning that each seat a class determining in which years the seat will be up for election" - think there's either some words missing or too many words here, as this doesn't make sense
 * At the start of the House of Representatives section, the exact same paragraph appears twice
 * "the first woman of color to serve in the United States Congress from any state" - source?
 * "Spark Masayuki Matsunaga" vs "Spark Matsunaga" - any reason for the variation in name?
 * That's all I got on a first pass - nice work! -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:31, 15 June 2021 (UTC)
 * ✅ Changed the language on that sentence, deleted the extra paragraph, added a source (thanks to the article Patsy Mink for providing a ref to steal), and corrected the variation (it was preserved from the previous table)–thanks! theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 22:12, 15 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Support -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:25, 16 June 2021 (UTC)


 * Accessibility review (MOS:DTAB)
 * The tables needs a caption, e.g. at the top of the table code add "|+ " or, if that caption would duplicate a nearby header, you can make it only for screen reader software like "|+ ". Captions allow screen reader software to jump to tables by name.
 * Column headers need to be marked with colscopes, e.g. "! colspan=2 | Class 1 senators" should be "!scope=col colspan=2 | Class 1 senators". Colscopes and Rowscopes (below) allow screen reader software to properly read out tables verbally.
 * The primary cell of each row should be marked with rowscopes, e.g. "| rowspan=9 | Hiram Fong (R)" should be "!scope=row rowspan=9 | Hiram Fong (R)" -- Pres N  02:54, 18 June 2021 (UTC)
 * I have been away from my computer for a while, but it appears all of these have been ✅ by others in my absence. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 19:49, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
 * sorry, second ping here- what's happening with this nomination? theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 06:50, 21 July 2021 (UTC)
 * FLC nominations need more reviewer attention than this before they can be closed; there seems to be a lull in activity this month, but I'd recommend reaching out to relevant wikiprojects and editors to see if anyone is willing to review the list. -- Pres N  14:00, 21 July 2021 (UTC)

Comments from Kavyansh.Singh
@ That's fine. I have made an edit to add some links. In my opinion, all the major issues have been resolved. The only issue I see is the grey color rectangles in the senate table, between the Class I senators and the congress column (they didn't existed in the previous version). Maybe, that needs to be removed/re-formatted. Else, everything seems to be fine. I have done the Image Review and the Source Review. Since the remaining issue is a minor one, I feel I am ready to Support this article for promotion as a Featured List. Great work! Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 18:11, 1 August 2021 (UTC)

I did United States congressional delegations from Indiana long ago so I'm happy to see this one! Reywas92Talk 16:53, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * one from both -> one from each
 * In caption you can use Map instead of Geographical location. Not a complete sentence so no period. And technically that map didn't take effect until 2013
 * ndash after 2012 should have spaces around it or be an emdash
 * No comma after House
 * I think the lead could include more facts like that Matsunaga, Akaka, and Hirono all served in both houses. Maybe include a count of people who've served in each house and total, like the Utah and Indiana lists. Since the delegation is so small you could even mention all of them, not just Hirono. Up to you what else you can think of but the lead's a bit short.
 * "Hawaii's senators are elected in classes 1 and 3." but then the table says Class I and Class II.
 * "from 1963–2012" -> "from 1963 to 2012"
 * "The territory initially consisted of the Hawaiian Islands, with the exception of Baker Island, Canton Island, Enderbury Island, Howland Island, Jarvis Island, Johnston Atoll, and Midway Atoll." I don't understand this sentence, these aren't part of the Hawaiian Islands so they're not exceptions.
 * "to be succeeded" -> "succeeded"
 * There's a stray semicolon before ref 13, seems like the "Hawaii had one seat" sentence belonged there instead of the end of the paragraph.
 * "both of Hawaii's representatives to the United States" -> "both of Hawaii's representatives"
 * The first two tables had (D) and (R) in the key but this one doesn't, be consistent
 * "from 1986–1987 and from 1991–2010" see https://style.mla.org/words-with-dash-in-range/
 * All of the see also links are in the article already so the section should just be removed
 * For this point, instead of removing the section, you may add other lists like United States congressional delegations from Indiana, Utah, etc. But it doesn't matters much, and could also be removed. Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:00, 7 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Template at the bottom missing {
 * Thanks! Apologies for the delay. Almost everything on the list is ✅, but I want to talk to another user about the party abbreviationsI'm not sure if they're so necessary in general. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 18:17, 13 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Looks great, Support once the abbrevations are resolved for all or none of the keys. Any comments at Featured list candidates/National Trails System/archive1 would be appreciated. Reywas92Talk 15:51, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * Thanks so much! I removed all of the party abbreviations–with the keys at the top of every table, I don't believe it to be necessary. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 19:55, 16 August 2021 (UTC)
 * They were re-added per MOS:COLOR so i made it consistent. theleekycauldron (talk • contribs) (they/them) 23:47, 16 August 2021 (UTC)

Source review passed (I fixed a couple date formats and removed the "english" language parameters as that field is only for non-english languages); promoting. -- Pres N  18:25, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
