United States congressional delegations from Idaho

Ah, the Gem State. Hopefully I've improved this article enough for it to be considered a gem here at Wikipedia!

Other FLs in the vein of this one include those for Indiana, Utah, Hawaii, and Connecticut. I've also nominated Arizona, currently another FLC that has gained support from the two reviewers who have reviewed it.

Thanks for taking a look, and I appreciate any feedback that y'all give! Star action ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 05:14, 3 July 2024 (UTC)


 * Drive-by comments
 * You'll have to split the "1913–present" table into two since it is wrong (from an accessibility perspective) to have two rows of headers, one of which is in the middle of the table.
 * "last Democrat to have represented Connecticut" - Idaho, not Connecticut. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 09:17, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @MPGuy2824 Hi, thanks for the comments! I've fixed both - for the first one, is it weird to have both tables in the same section like I have it now? Or should I split it into two different sections? Thanks! Star action  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 11:26, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * is it weird to have both tables in the same section like I have it now? Nah, looks fine to me. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:21, 5 July 2024 (UTC)

Comments

 * "Since Idaho became a U.S. state in 1890, it has sent congressional delegations to the United States Senate and United States House of Representatives, beginning with the 51st United States Congress in 1889" - 1889 is not since 1890
 * The sentence starting "The longest-serving senator from Idaho" is quite long, maybe split it into two?
 * "He was instrumental in the passage of the Sixteenth and the Seventeenth Amendments, but opposed the Nineteenth Amendment." - maybe add a few words on which each of these covered, as I doubt many people would know without looking them up......?
 * "Frank Church, who similarly served for 24 years on the Foreign Relations Committee" - similar to what? Nobody previously has been mentioned as serving on this committee
 * "such that each election, around one-third" => "such that at each election, around one-third" would be better I think
 * "who also had served as Idaho's first territorial governor" => "who had also served as Idaho's first territorial governor"
 * That's it I think -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 15:10, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * @ChrisTheDude Hi, thanks for your comments! I've resolved all of them except for the one about Frank Church - both Borah and Church served on the Foreign Relations Committee. Does that sentence need more clarity? Star action  ( talk  &#124;  contribs ) 23:55, 3 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Support - don't worry about the Church sentence, I misread it -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 07:22, 4 July 2024 (UTC)
