Request

Could someone put the Class 1 succession box on the Burton Wheeler page, I can't figure it out for the life of me.

Re-Org

I think a slight re-organization of this page is in order, to put congressional delegation eras in chronological order, which will also bring the "Notes" section closer to the chart it refers to. Ross 15:33, 27 February 2006 (UTC)[reply]

Named Footnotes

The footnotes as they are work just fine here, but at some point it may be worth considering to use named notes instead. The current usage links only one way, but taking advantage of <ref name=""> tags would allow for two-way links and a more sophisticated article (albeit a slightly more complicated one).

Merge Montana's at-large congressional district

I cannot think of a reason for Montana's at-large congressional district to have a page separate from this one which already provides all of the people who represented the at-large district, especially as the at-large district will be defunct in 2023. However, it is certainly possible that there are good reasons I have not thought of, so I call this a type 2 merger.Czrisher (talk) 19:36, 14 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Disagree. That the district will be defunct is irrelevant, there are plenty of districts that are defunct (VT-06 anyone? Illinois at-large?) that have pages. The district page also contains election data which will not be carried over. If deleted it would be the only congressional district in history with no page. Keep. FieldOfWheat (talk) 22:30, 6 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Agree. This is just confusing and it would be far more convenient and easier for casual visitors to understand if all the U.S. Representatives from Montana (1889-present) were listed on a single page. [By the way, Montana will not have an extra Congressional seat or Presidential Elector before the 2030 Census, the 2032 Congressional elections and the 2034 Presidential election. ] —— Shakescene (talk) 03:53, 12 November 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Shakescene Not true. Starting in January 2023, there will be two representatives from Montana, Matt Rosendale and Ryan Zinke. 2022 United States House of Representatives elections in Montana. Montana will get an extra vote in the electoral college. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 20:31, 12 December 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Removing the merge tag. Seems unlikely this will gain consensus. Elli (talk | contribs) 10:31, 23 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
