Template talk:United States Congress

message: Would anyone mind if we add a link to the "US_Congress_by_State" template (or to a wikipage based upon/containing it) to the first line of the "mega"- template? Currently, there are separate listings for the Senate and the House, and separate links for current and former members within each. The Senate does show a link for "Current & Former by state", but I think it would be good to have some sort of easy way to access entire Past & Present Delegations by State, given that the trend across the actual wikipages seems to be merging the "current", "former", "Senate", and "House" listings into single pages by State. Any thoughts?  --Ross 23:40, 27 February 2006 (UTC)

message: Are deaths by year links really necessary in this template?  This template is already huge as it is, and adding more such links doesn't really help.  I think that a better solution is to keep the latest year's link, and then link to the relevant "Deaths by year" category for members of congress.  There's no reason the template needs to contain every single link related to congress. --CapitalR (talk) 15:40, 27 February 2012 (UTC)
replies: text: - To cut down on the clutter, I removed each individual year link and replaced them with 1 link to a new page which has summary tables that link to the original pages.  I also made a new template which will provide clean and easy navigation between current and future deaths pages. RoadView (talk) 00:35, 7 March 2012 (UTC)

message: Have added the Old Brick Capitol and years to the two former sites already listed (Federal Hall as 1789-1790 and Congress Hall as 1790-1800), which cover the template subject and term 'United States Congress', but should the six sites of the Continental Congresses be added as well? I've just added five appropriate sites to the  template. The complete list would include:
:* Carpenters' Hall (1774)
:* Independence Hall (1775-76, 1778-1783)
:* Henry Fite House (1776-77)
:* Nassau Hall (1783)
:* Maryland State House (1783-84)
:* French Arms Tavern (1784)
:* Federal Hall (1785-1790)
:* Congress Hall (1790-1800)
:* Old Brick Capitol (1815-1819)
Since the 'History' section includes a link to 'Continental Congress' I thought of adding them, then decided that adding five to the Article of Confederation template may cover it (although Carpenter's Hall is left out), but per template subject of 'United States Congress' thought that a talk page discussion should take as the Continental Congress starting in 1776 was still a United States Congress under the descriptor.

message: Someone should do a list of the state delegation duos in the U.S. Senate by longevity (for at least 20 years or more) and brevity (for either at least 10 or 6 years or less) of service they spent together, this year. 24.46.59.173 (talk) 20:46, 3 August 2023 (UTC)

message: You might want to add two Senate-exclusive articles, a list on how long they served together, since the Senate has two senators from each state, add a list of Senate state delegation duos by longevity of service (20+ years), and the list of Senate pairs who served together for over 20 years will include current pairs, like a list of members of Congress who served for over 36 years. Don’t forget to add a list of Senate state delegation duos by brevity of service (2- years), and the list of Senate pairs who served together for less than 2 years will exclude current pairs and Senate pairs who briefly served together in the 73rd United States Congress, like a list of members of Congress who either served for less than 2 years in the House or served for less than 6 years in the Senate as well. 24.46.59.173 (talk) 21:25, 25 August 2023 (UTC)
