Talk:List of governors of Michigan

message: I think this should be moved to Governor of Michigan. It can and should be expanded to include more information on the office. --Elliskev 13:51, 2 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Disagree; all of the other lists are at the list. The article on the office should be about the office, not the people in it. --Golbez 18:30, 20 July 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: Okay. I'll start the article. --Elliskev 18:48, 20 July 2007 (UTC)

message: *WP:YEAR says don't bother repeating the century in a year range if it doesn't change.
*"He or so is" -> "He or she is"?!
*"The state was originally part" I would say "Michigan was..." as it's a new para.
*Not keen on the "(see List of Governors of Ohio)" etc, isn't there a more elegant way of using wikilinks here rather than just do this?  Or use the See also section?
*"The following are the governors of the Territory of Michigan:" -> are should be were, and don't relink governor.
*In the captions, things like "the 1st..." and "the 2nd", better off writing them as "first" and "second".
*Prefer "No." to the hash in the table heading for the number of the governor.
*Ah, now there are issues where you have just blue cells e.g. some of the notes cells (suggest they're all made white) have nothing in them at all.  Also, when the Lt Gov represents a different party, you need more than just the colour.... (sorry if I misled you).
*Would expect notes to be referenced.
*Refs 2 thru 7 refer to "Michigan Constitution" but I'm not sure which one you mean.
*Ref 9 is also in the general ref section.

message: So, what is the consensus on this? There have been recent attempts to add it back, even though the lead mentions the living ones. Any new opinion, or is the consensus unchanged? Chris857 (talk) 04:19, 12 December 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: There was consensus at the FLC to remove this section and just have the names in the lead (which I am fine with...if information can be easily presented in a sentence, why have a full table for it). If people want to have a new discussion here on the talk page, that's fine, but just trying to revert-war the table back into the article against consensus is not the answer.

thread_title:  Table list of living former governors 

message: I propose that Governor of Michigan be merged into List of Governors of Michigan. There is very little content on Governor of Michigan page and some Governor articles use the list article as the main article, such as List of Governors of Florida and List of Governors of Ohio. Thoughts? Natself16 (talk) 12:13, 16 June 2016 (UTC)

message: Since a big chunk of this was just reverted by , I will try to justify it here:
* Trimming of the history: That much detail is not needed, no context for how it became a territory is required, that's for the article on the territory.
* Trimming of the powers: That much detail is not needed, that's for the article on the office.
* Removal of the 'other high offices': Inherently subjective, difficult to maintain, and adds nothing to an understanding of the office. Some of the individuals, sure, but the office.
* Removal of the 'living governors': IMO, adds nothing to anything. I get that some people care about which/how many presidents are alive at any given moment, but that doesn't mean every single office warrants that kind of attention. I have seen no one other than Wiki trivia wonks who want it there - and I say that not as an insult, I'm a wiki trivia wonk, but I also think that when it's *just* for us, and not for the reader, then it doesn't belong. Everything that requires maintenance should justify itself, and I don't see this doing that.
I would love for Imzadi to respond, but I'm respecting WP:BRD on this. --Golbez (talk) 14:20, 20 November 2018 (UTC)
