# Talk:Governor of Maryland

I initially merged both articles because this one was rather short and needed a bit more to stand alone.  Having a separate page isn't really necessary as this page doesn't have much to begin with.
Someone recently unmerged them, but I feel they should be re-merged. --tomf688(talk) 01:28, May 10, 2005 (UTC)

I apologize for not leaving a note to explain my action (that's an area I need to work on).  I split List of Governors of Maryland from Governor of Maryland because I intended to significantly expand the article on the office.  (I have been working slowly on creating and improving articles on the Government of Maryland, and on the state in general.) You'll see that Governor of Maryland is now much longer (and, I hope, better--though still not excellent).  I think that it now stands on it's own without tacking on the list, which matches up nicely with the lists that all of the other states have.  I think that the list and article on the office ought to remain separate now.  By contrast, I agree with combining the list and the article on Lt. Governor of Maryland, since both of them are so much shorter. I hope that this sufficiently explains my action and that you will agree with it.  if not, please let me know and I'm sure we can find a way to work it out and to improve the article(s) further.

I've started the process of re-working and referencing the article in hopes of getting it to be an FA eventually. Any help is welcome. Mocko13 17:58, 25 January 2007 (UTC)

I have reviewed this article according to the GA criteria and have failed the article at this time. The main reason for doing so is the organization of the article. While the article contains good information, they way it is currently written does not conform to the MOS.  I would recommend the prose be cleaned up before adding it to the GA list again.  Also, it would help if the footnote references lead to the specific pages to which the line is citing.  Too many of the footnotes lead to the same general page, leaving the reader to search out the information.  And that is not the point.  There also seems to be a debate as to whether the article should be merged with another.  That normally would constitute an immediate failure, but because that seems to be an old debate, the article is worth revising.  If you do not agree with this review then you can seek an alternate review at Wikipedia:Good article review. Let me know on my talk page if you have any questions. Alex 06:11, 9 July 2007 (UTC)

Clean-up has occured. All references have been checked to make sure they contain the information cited, and I'm 99% sure that they are all right, though I do make mistakes and would be happy to correct anything that's missing. The merge debate died off, and the List of Governors has separately been nominated as a featured list. Geraldk 13:47, 11 July 2007 (UTC)

I think this is an example of a well written, well sourced article. It covers all major topics connected with functions and histoty of the Governor of Maryland. The article certainly deserves to be in the GA list. Ruslik 11:52, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

### GA Sweeps: Kept
As part of the WikiProject Good Articles, we're doing Sweeps to go over all of the current GAs and see if they still meet the GA criteria. I went through the article and made various changes, please look them over. I believe the article currently meets the criteria and should remain listed as a Good Article. Altogether the article is well-written and is still in great shape after its passing in 2007. Continue to improve the article making sure all new information is properly sourced and neutral. It would be a good idea to update the access dates for all of the online sources. If you have any questions, let me know on my talk page and I'll get back to you as soon as I can. I have updated the article history to reflect this review. --Happy editing! Nehrams2020 (talk • contrib) 23:28, 17 July 2009 (UTC)
