Talk:List of governors of Georgia

message: The county's official site states that the currently accepted spelling varied from that used by Governor John Houstoun. This seems reasonable given that standardized spelling wasn't in much vogue during the 18th century. Ellsworth 23:54, 3 Dec 2004 (UTC)

message: The numbering of the Governors is incorrect. Georgia numbers it's Governors by the individual, not the governorships. In othewords: Non-consecutive term Governors are not recounted. GoodDay (talk) 23:56, 23 January 2009 (UTC)

message: So frustrating to come to wikipedia and not find some needed information . . .
So, first of all, I take issue that there is no article called Governor of Georgia (the reason that's not a red link is because it's a redirect to this article). Separate articles are needed. A "list" should not include things like powers and methods of election. And I'd really like this to cover the way the governor is elected. Tonight I learned that Lester Maddox won in 1966 despite not having gotten the most votes, because the legislature picked him when no one got an actual majority. Is that still the way it's done? I'd like to know, but the article that would tell me had not been created. Why not? About half the states have an article on the office and another mere list. All of them should have both.

replies: text: "Why not?" Because you haven't made it yet. :P You aren't new here, you know that Wikipedia can work in fits and starts. --Golbez (talk) 04:18, 13 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text: You're right, of course.  I was a bit frustrated (and surprised) in the moment.  I'll try to take this on this fall. Unschool 03:28, 14 July 2019 (UTC)
replies: text:  Simply having an article at Governor of Georgia wouldn't guarantee that the information you were seeking would have been there. In my 14 years on Wikipedia, I have often found that sometimes creating a stub article on a highly notable topic is a good way to start the process. It doesn't always work, and sometimes over-eager editors will try to curtail the process by suggesting the articles be merged again. But sometimes getting the ball rolling is all that is needed. - BilCat (talk) 05:53, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, BilCat.  When I was actually active here (2005-2009) I used to create stubs semi-regularly (most of the limited number of articles I "created" were just stubs when I left them, and others did the hard work later).  But the last couple of times I tried (in more recent years) I had some get deleted and I have just sort of given up.Unschool 00:08, 29 May 2020 (UTC)

text: I went ahead and created a draft article at Draft:Governor of Georgia. The text of the list article will also need to be cut down when the draft goes live to avoid duplication. - BilCat (talk) 06:14, 27 May 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: I think your draft looks great, BilCat.  That's certainly a lot more than a stub.  Well done, and thank you! Unschool 00:08, 29 May 2020 (UTC)
