I guarantee you the "8 Others" by tomorrow. - Misplaced Pages 23:18, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- Hm, that was fast... - Misplaced Pages 23:25, 18 Mar 2004 (UTC)
This table is ridiculous. Footers are not replacements for lists. Now we can't easily navigate from president to president. I will revert if i find no good reason to keep. --Jiang 00:12, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
What exactly do you mean? If I can't make sense of a question, how can I answer? - Misplaced Pages 00:23, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
I agree with Jiang, I don't really like it either, although I tried to clean it up. It's incredibly crowded, and it replaces the standard incumbent table. There's no real reason to leap from Eisenhower to John Quincy Adams, there is a reason to go from Eisenhower to Kennedy. Also, why is your username written as Misplaced Pages? That seems kind of sneaky. jengod 00:35, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
I'll write my name however I want! Is there a reason to jump from Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban to Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets? Is there really a reason to jump from Arizona to the U.S. Virgin Islands? - Misplaced Pages 00:39, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
Grover Cleveland should be put in once for each term to show chronological order. - Misplaced Pages 00:43, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
- A fact that used to be indicated by the incumbent table. I think this should have been discussed on Talk:President of the United States before you unilaterally decided to "update" the president pages. jengod 00:46, Mar 19, 2004 (UTC)
Is this really such a big change? I'm adding information and that is all! I'm not removing or changing anything, I'm just linking each president to every other president! - Calmypal 01:01, 19 Mar 2004 (UTC)
You are making a stupid change. Harry Potter only has a few items. The Virgin Islands and Arizona have no clear chronological order. The presidents do. --Jiang
