There's an article that needs to be looked at/am working on the templates, what to do?

Hi, I've been working on the United States statewide political official templates: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:United_States_statewide_political_official_templates and there's this page in the Articles for Creation section that hasn't been looked at since January. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia_talk:Articles_for_creation/Template:Current_statewide_political_officials_of_Washington

Meanwhile, I've been plugging along on the templates. I can a template for the Washington state political officials, but I already see the page in the Articles for Creation section, basically ignored, not turned down or approved. So, what should I do? I've haven't ever approved articles for Wikipedia before. PS: I don't have IRC software and don't want to get it right now-have old computer. So just leave a message for me, please.

• I've gone ahead and moved the AFC template to the mainspace at Template:Current statewide political officials of Washington. If you can make any changes or updates in current state officials, have at it! Thanks for your work. If you have additional questions or ever need help, feel free to contact me.

List of living former members of the United States House of Representatives

Hello, I disagree with breaking up this list into sections. Having it in one table easily lets you sort everyone by a desired category. The subsections might look slightly be more convenient in one way, but I think you lose the functionality and purpose of having them all on one list. If it wasn't about keeping them all in one table, I would just have made separate articles. Thanks. RoadView (talk) 18:55, 1 March 2014 (UTC)

Yes, I'd have to agree - breaking up the list into many pages is bizarre. It does make it for easier reading. Also, there is the question of linking them all together. Aerospeed (Talk) 22:37, 1 March 2014 (UTC)
