Wikipedia:Featured list candidates/List of signatories of the United States Constitution
The names appear twice on this list, first in order of signing, and second in alphabetical order. Anything else this needs? --Spangineer (háblame) 19:25, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
- Suppport I would add some interesting facts and trivia (such as why Rhode Island was absent) and a picture of the signatures if available. Maybe also another column to describe the profession of each signatory at the time, etc. NoSeptember 19:55, 20 July 2005 (UTC)
- I've added a picture of the fourth page of the constitution, which has the signatures on it. If you'd like, I can crop it so that only the signatures are present. Also, I expanded the lead to include a few details found in the US Constitution article (some of the notable people who weren't there, the rhode island thing, etc.), but those are unsourced (I'm not sure which sources were used where in the US Constitution article, because no one over at FAC bothered to pay attention to inline citations... yes, I'm bitter). Let me know what you think of the changes. If I can find a source for their occupations, I'll add it, but I'm not sure how readily available all that is. --Spangineer (háblame) 21:54, July 20, 2005 (UTC)
- I guess most are lawyers and Continental Congressmen so it is not essential to add; maybe someone has a better idea for an additional column (their age at the time?) - the chart seems so bare with only two columns. I think the signature block would look nicer if it were cropped (but not too much - maybe show Articles 6 & 7 with the signatures). The list is looking good. NoSeptember 11:40, 21 July 2005 (UTC)
- I cropped the image; it now shows part of article 6 and the right half of article 7 along with the signatures. Look ok? It might be cool to add a column showing how each signed their name (maybe find a higher resolution copy of the constitution image and put each guy's signature next to his name?), but that might be tough to find. Age seems interesting yet somewhat irrelevant for a general list like this one. A separate list of delegates by age might be worth making. --Spangineer (háblame) 13:44, July 21, 2005 (UTC)
