Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of U.S. state capitals

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Maybe someone that knows more about the United States can create brief articles for the capitol buildings that are missing? Phoenix2 18:29, July 22, 2005 (UTC)

  • Nominate and support. Phoenix2 18:29, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • objectI think there needs to be some clarification as to wether the article is refering to the city or the buildings. --The_stuart 18:55, 22 July 2005 (UTC)[reply]
    • Is the list not obviously referring to the state capitals, and the information about the capitol buildings ist just extra information? Phoenix2 18:58, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment This article needs some work, but I will withhold vote until later. There is conflict between the pictures and the text in the right-hand column, with a lot of overlap (this may just be my bad browser, please tell me if it is). The intro could also be a little more extensive. --Sophitus 19:01, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
    • There seems to be a lot of problems with pictures when I try to put them down the side of the page. Again, I am using 1024 by 768, and on this page there is no more room to shrink the pictures, really. I'll see what I can do about the lead. If there are any Americans here who can add some more valuable information to the lead and elsewehre, that would be good. Phoenix2 19:11, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
    • I've decided to overhaul this list and remove the information about the capitol buildings, which will be in a list that I will do later. The list with the capital information will be at User:Phoenix2/Sandbox1. Phoenix2 19:16, July 22, 2005 (UTC)
  • Comment: The info is limited. It should have more info such as the year it became the capital. You can also add former capitals of a state if any. Some countries like South Africa have a separate judicial, legislative and administrative capital. Any state having such a split? =Nichalp «Talk»= 13:20, July 30, 2005 (UTC)
