2007 promotion, fails FLCR 3b with several citation needed tags and an unsourced section. Also fails 5c; flag and seal should not be sortable and the former counties table does not have column and row headers. Talk page concerns went unanswered. charlotte 👸♥ 03:12, 16 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I've fixed the table accessibility issues that you've pointed out.
- Remaining problems:
- Sourcing issues.
- The lead map, and the flags and seal images in the table require alt text. -MPGuy2824 (talk) 07:58, 23 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I would recommend in general removing the FIPS code column, which is meaningless to almost everyone and makes the table too wide for most screens. Mattximus (talk) 15:12, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Also there is no date for both the population and area in the heading row. Mattximus (talk) 17:21, 8 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added a few sources – couldn't address all of the "citation needed" tags, but it's a start. RunningTiger123 (talk) 03:00, 5 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I've added one more source but found nothing in reliable sources regarding the defunct counties. Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 08:27, 14 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe this is close to being resolved, which is the reason I haven't delisted it yet. Please do correct me if I'm wrong, as I don't want to let this unnecessarily linger. Hey man im josh (talk) 13:26, 19 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
- Still missing some critical things, like date on the population column. It's also pretty clumsily written. Consider: "The last new county formation in occurred when Garrett County was formed in 1872". This could use a copy edit to get to featured list status. Although not critical like the first two points, I don't think there should be a FIPS column as it's not useful to most people and makes the table extra wide which makes it hard on smaller devices.

- it's impossible to remove the fips code. The parameter is required by the template Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:34, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- @RunningTiger123: I have taken care of the remaining unsourced content. Would you be willing to handle some of the alt text? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 10:47, 3 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- I believe I have added alt text to all of the images – any help confirming that the descriptions are accurate would be great. RunningTiger123 (talk) 04:25, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Everything lines up, @Queen of Hearts: any further issues or can this be closed? Questions? four Olifanofmrtennant (she/her) 00:43, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
- Looks fine to me. charlotte 👸♥ 04:09, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
