Talk:List of governors of Louisiana

message: Where is the information about the governor's salary? Surely it is a matter of public record? What about the governor's use of the state airplane? 
:Probably somewhere on Google? This is a list article. If you want an article about the office of the governor itself, make one. --Golbez (talk) 20:12, 3 March 2009 (UTC)

message: I assumed William Charles Cole Claiborne was a Democratic-Republican while in the Orleans Territory office. Probably like George F. Shepley. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 208.102.210.163 (talk) 19:04, 31 March 2008 (UTC)

thread_title: File:McKeithen.jpg Nominated for speedy Deletion

message: In the U.S. Civil War era, the Confederate and the U.S. Governors of course served concurrently, not consecutively. (They of course did not recognize each other as legitimate governors.) I think it inappropriate to number them as if the served in a row, 2 Confederates first, followed by two Unionists, as the article had. I therefore changed it. Since our numbering system changed over with the 25th (total) governor of Louisiana to 1 to mark change of administration from French to US control, I similarly marked the Confederate governors since they were not Governors under U.S. statehood.  -- Infrogmation (talk) 11:58, 8 June 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: Yes, the State of Louisiana considers Jindal to be the 55th Governor, not the 53rd, so the numbering system needs to be redone.  When need to use what ever the State Government itself considers to be the correct numbering, not what we think about the Confederate versus Union idea.  All of the numbering conventiosn that i can find for Louisiana show Allen as the 17th Governor, Shepley as the 18th, Hahn as the 19th, Wells as the 20th and so one.Sf46 (talk) 19:29, 15 October 2012 (UTC)
replies: text:  IMO we simply need to define our terms and be consistent. (Lists by the State of Louisiana may or may not be.) Say what we mean by "Governor of Louisiana" - for example, everyone who ever held that title would include Spanish and French Colonial Governors, both Confederate and Union Governors during the US Civil War and State Governors -- whereas Governors of the U.S. State of Louisiana would be a shorter and more specific list. -- Infrogmation (talk) 19:33, 18 October 2012 (UTC)

text: This article is not remotely in a finished state, having virtually zero prose, let alone any prose explaining the numbering. For an example of how it would be done when the article is brought up to standards, see List of Governors of Alabama, another state that doesn't count repeats. --Golbez (talk) 01:51, 26 October 2015 (UTC)
replies: text:  Sure - I checked the Alabama reference you cited above,  and that's exactly what I had in mind. Unfortunately, I am not a Louisianan and do not know enough about the state and the way its governor's office operates (beyond having noticed the statistical quirk in the numbering system as noted above) to be able to write the kind of comprehensive prose that you have suggested. Hopefully someone more knowledgeable about these things will be able to flesh out the existing article with more information, including an explanation of the quirky numbering it practices for its governors.Pdeck2013 (talk) 13:54, 26 October 2015 (UTC)

message: It is pretty much a nonsense that there is no specific article for the Governor of Louisiana, just a list, yet there is an article and list for the Lieutenant-Governor. Makes it very difficult to manage the wikidata aspect as office holder position isn't in place. — billinghurst sDrewth 07:57, 21 May 2013 (UTC)
