Just my two cents: I do not think we should have articles on individual state Senate districts. They are invented from whole cloth every 10–15 years and have no cultural or historical value; they're just administrative conveniences to keep party members happy. Nobody writes about them or identifies with them other than the senators who happen to hold office at the moment. If we want to talk about the districts in general it could go in the state Senate article, but having hundreds of articles with nothing but a list of precincts and map is well outside Misplaced Pages's scope. —] (]) 02:56, 6 August 2014 (UTC)
* Perhaps you're right. We do it for Congress, but not for the states. Do other states do it?—] 14:45, 6 August 2014 (UTC)

== Dates election vs. seating ==


== "Now a sidebar" ==
Hello GoldRingChip. I know you've been around forever, taking care of the Congress articles, but now we are back at an old controversy. I just saw . Well, they were elected on October 17. So far so good. The statute that says that members of Congress have their tenure counted from election day was enacted in the early 20th century. But this was 1791. The same article has a section of "changes" which says "Date of formal installation" which is an odd wording but purports to say when the member actually took his seat, I suppose. In that column, it says "elected on..." which is out of scope there, because nobody can be formally installed before the votes are counted, which took a few days, if not weeks, at the time. Please think about the issue, again, and maybe at some time there will be some encyclopedic consistency. Cheers. ] (]) 14:35, 5 October 2014 (UTC)
* I just was filling in the info based on the headings that were there. If I made a mistake (which is often likely!), please feel free to correct me. Thanks for keeping up on this.—] 00:31, 7 October 2014 (UTC)

== Leaders in House == == Alice in Chains self-titled ==
While there were certainly no Majority Leaders in the House until the 1890s, "Leaders" in this sense refers to Speakers of the House. Look at the 2012 election. You don't see Eric Cantor there, but John Boehner. You should of checked that before wiping data from multiple articles. On the other hand, thank you for addign returns on various election pages. Just be more careful next time. ] (]) 19:30, 4 November 2014 (UTC)
* I was plenty careful, the question remains: who is a leader? If the speaker is the leader of the majority party, who is the leader of the minority? What if the speaker hasn't been chosen yet?—] 04:40, 5 November 2014 (UTC)
* Dude... look at every US House election... every single one. Look at 2014. It has Boehner and Pelosi, not the House leaders. This getting really strange. Why are you wiping articles, and only those from a certain 10 year span? In many articles, theres almost no content. Why break up a consensus over EVERY article? ] (]) 00:06, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
* Please do not call me names. Please do not revert without discussion first. It's rude to revert without discussion. There may have been speakers, but they were not decided in the elections and there certainly wasn't a leader of the losing party. For example, ] was not the minority leader in the 1792 elections. The House didn't elect leaders until the 1890s. Some of the articles should have leaders, and some shouldn't. If its inconsistent, then the correct infoboxes should be used, not just kept incorrectly consistent. Be correct, even if inconsistent. I've been working on the early election articles in the Senate, and that why I "only" got to edit those House articles. —] 00:54, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
* I did NOT call you names. Please reread my posts. I expect an apology as I NEVER called you anything. ] (]) 22:46, 6 November 2014 (UTC)
⚫ * Please explain minority leaders without party organization.—] 01:46, 7 November 2014 (UTC)
::FWIW, I believe the criteria is to have the person who was elected Speaker & the person who was runner-up. PS: the '''majority party'''/'''minority party''' labels should be deleted, concerning ''Administration party'' & ''Anti-Administion party''. The Dem Reps & Feds are consider the ''first'' politicial parties. ] (]) 18:39, 23 November 2014 (UTC)
