List of heights of U.S. presidential candidates
Looking for ideas for improvement and suggestions about what needs smoothing out. I know we're missing data, but do you notice anything besides that? jengod 04:04, 4 February 2006 (UTC)


 * There's a huge empty box between the introduction and the table.  Also, the intro says that the point is to compare elections since the advent of TV, which makes the rest of the table look like pointless trivia.  It's not pointless trivia, surely? Markyour words 12:14, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Gap removed and intro revised. Better? Thank you so much for commenting! jengod 21:58, 4 February 2006 (UTC)
 * The colours used in the table to denote "Taller candidate won" and "Shorter candidate won" appear almost identical on my laptop's monitor. Could one of the colours be switched to something with more contrast? --NormanEinstein 16:14, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * i agree with the color complaint. also, i did not see the legend in the article at first. can something be done to make it more visible. and as a side suggestion, maybe a special marking nex to the tallest and shortest president to hold office. -- ZeWrestler   Talk 19:03, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Color changed for "shorter candidate wins" to a pink, which hopefully will contrast better. Added two grafs pointing out the extremes for Presidents and runners-up. Thanks again! jengod 20:18, 5 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Actually, I would shy away from the red/blue colours as this implies Republican/Democrat. Also, the article requires a "Reference" section to tell us where did all these height figures come from. --maclean 25 17:13, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Hopefully more "neutral" colors dropped in (yellow, green and beige). The references are a bigger problem I'm planning to postpone until the overall quality of the list is up to speed. ;) jengod 21:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * On the subject of references, the article asserts there is a "frequently-stated "rule"" about heights. If there is, it should be easy to cite an example or examples of this urgan legend or whatever being mentioned.  Kaisershatner 20:08, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
 * Two examples of statements about presidential heights added. jengod 21:10, 6 February 2006 (UTC)
