List of United States Senators from Ohio
I've listed this article for peer review because…I believe that this is a well written and encyclopedic article. However, AndyZ's automatic peer reviewer says that the lead needs expansion, and I can understand why. Furthermore, I am uncomfortable with the overall lack of content outside of the table.

 * For starters, you can take a look at other corresponding articles such as List of United States Senators from New York. You could add information about which parties have historically held the seats, longest serving senators, and such. Eddie891 Talk Work 20:07, 21 September 2017 (UTC)


 * I haven't seen any of these lists before now, but the first thing that struck me was that they are hard to read. I acknowledge they may make more sense to experienced editors in this area, but I think it takes a while for a reader to figure out what is going on. My personal advice to WikiProject U.S. Congress is to completely redesign the list by separating the Class 1 and Class 3 senators into two separate tables.
 * If this is not possible, I advise making SVG words for "Term" and "Congress", as the text looks odd when broken but not rotated. Also, rather than having the "No image" file where senators do not have images, I believe only the name should exist. That way it is centred and looks better. Also "As of December 2016, there is one former Senator who is living, one from Class 1" seems oddly phrased. —  Tuxipεdia ( talk ) 04:14, 29 November 2017 (UTC)

To chime in, I'd agree with User:Tuxipedia's comments on legibility. Splitting up the senators into side-by-side tables makes this devilishly hard to read, and I'll be bringing it up on the wiki project talk, probably. As for the lead, I'd suggest giving more general details about the senators. How many have there been? Who's served the longest? (I'd also explain the classes of senator here.)
