What happened to Arlen Specter? 104.153.230.201 (talk) 11:33, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

What do you mean? He's listed on this article above Pat Toomey. Emk9 (talk) 21:40, 16 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

The way that the table is displayed is very confusing because the class three senators are listed in a column on the far right. If you're using a cell phone to read this, you may not realize that you have to scroll far over to the right in order to see senators, like Arlen Specter, Pat Toomey, and John Fetterman.

Arlen is not listed in this article. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:646:102:27F0:ED:BAB6:38B5:F7DD (talk) 05:10, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

He's listed as the 25th Class 3 Senator, after Richard Schweiker and before Pat Tommey. Emk9 (talk) 08:40, 27 February 2023 (UTC)Reply

Please add John Fetterman to this Wikipedia page. Jdalejcik (talk) 00:19, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

I realize now why John Fetterman is not on the page. His name is listed in the table, but it is in the far right under the column labeled Class 3 Senator. Jdalejcik (talk) 00:28, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply

Confusing table format for Class 1 and Class 3 Senators edit

Latest comment: 9 months ago2 comments2 people in discussion

Having separate columns for Class 1 and Class 3 Senators is very confusing. I think that the columns Class 1 and Class 3 should be merged into one column called "Class" with a 1 or a 3 in the column to indicate which Class the Senators belong.

I had a hard time locating Senator Pat Toomey, Senator Arlen Specter, and Senator John Fetterman, because they are in the class three column, and you have to scroll all the way to the right to see it.

I think this needs to be fixed so it is clear and can be more easily accessed on a screen like a cell phone, which is more suited for vertical columns rather than horizontal columns.

On my phone, both columns are visible, so I'm not sure why that's not the case for you. I don't think there's any way to merge the two columns anyway, as an example Robert Morris served concurrently with William Maclay, Albert Gallatin and James Ross. So the current format is the only way to actually show that. Emk9 (talk) 18:55, 5 August 2023 (UTC)Reply
