List of chief ministers of Uttarakhand edit

Featured list candidates/List of chief ministers of Uttarakhand/archive1

Nominator(s): TryKid (talk) 08:52, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Another in a series of Chief Minister lists, after List of chief ministers of Jharkhand and List of chief ministers of Chhattisgarh. I thought about expanding the second lead paragraph but I don't really see any benefit in repeating the information already available in table just for the sake of it; but feel free to expand it if any inadequacy is felt. Regards, TryKid (talk) 08:52, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Oppose from Harrias edit

Make the table sortable.
Add to the functionality of the table by splitting the tenure length into a different cell, so we can sort by date and length.
Add a table caption, and move the key away from the top row, where it will confuse screen readers into thinking that it is a header for the article.
The lead really needs more information. Why for example did Harish Rawat only serve for one day at one stage? What happened before 9 November 2000, was there just no chief minister, or no state?

For me, this falls pretty well short of the FL criteria at the moment: both for the prose and the table. Harrias ^talk 09:32, 4 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Guerillero edit

Thoughts

The sources look good to me. Everything is formatted consistently, they all look reliable, and the links are good
I agree with Harrias that the leade is far too short
The alt texts need to be better

Comments from ChrisTheDude edit

My only major concern is the brevity of the lead, as mentioned above. I think the fact that one of the office holders was in post for a single day is definitely unusual enough that it needs further explanation in the lead, for starters...... -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 10:23, 7 May 2020 (UTC)[reply]

Comments from Chidgk1 edit

In the footnote it says that President's rule "often happens because no party or coalition has a majority in the assembly." So if that was the case for all the occasions it might be worth mentioning in the lede.
Also in the lede - has it always been the leader of the largest party who has become chief minister?
Perhaps the default order should be most recent at the top - not sure what other reviewers think.
- Absolutely not, per WP:CHRONO -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 20:31, 9 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
In the hope there might be a woman in future in the footnote change "The state government he headed" to "The state government they headed"

If you have time could you take a quick glance at List of active coal-fired power stations in Turkey. I would especially like to know at Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of active coal fired power stations in Turkey/archive1 if anything is confusing for new readers.

Further comment from ChrisTheDude edit

Multiple users (including myself) pointed out two months ago that the lead was far too short, and in that time there has been no significant expansion. @TryKid:, do you intend to do any further expansion.....? -- ChrisTheDude (talk) 09:19, 18 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

I completely forgot about this! 😫 I'm extremely sorry for this and apologize to the reviewers for wasting their time. I'm in some real life commitment now and want to withdraw this. I think this is the second time I've done this. Sorry. 😣 I apologize again. TryKid ^{[dubious – discuss]} 23:05, 21 July 2020 (UTC)[reply]

@TryKid: It's been about three weeks since you indicated that you were too busy to continue with this nomination. Has this changed since or would you like to withdraw this nomination? Cowlibob (talk) 22:01, 6 August 2020 (UTC)[reply]
