Talk:Illinois's 18th congressional district

Should we create a page called "Current Vacancies in the U.S. Congress""

Should we create a page called "Current Vacancies in the U.S. Congress? This will show a consolidation of all Senate and House offices that are currently vacant, including the name of the last occupant, the reason for vacating the office, as well as the expected resolution to filling the office again (such as special election, gubernatorial appointment, etc.).

Orphaned references in Illinois's 18th congressional district

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Illinois's 18th congressional district's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

Reference named "Generalelection":

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 05:32, 29 January 2021 (UTC)
