Electoral history table style
editI noticed your changes to Ed Pastor, and I don't think I agree with them.
First, I don't see what is gained by not using the header attribute for a table. It centers the topic and makes it clear what office is being shown. Am I missing something here? To have the topic just a patch of text means that it looks out-of-place and might get removed by somebody not knowing its purpose. It just doesn't look as good.
As for combining rows in which the same candidate ran... it's a trickier issue, and while it doesn't look bad on the Ed Pastor article, I think it has problems elsewhere. Consider the article Mike Sodrel; with Sodrel likely to run again in 2008, theoretically both columns should be continuous rowspans with Sodrel & Hill's names, except they trade off who wins and who loses. It'd be awkward at best to show this in continuous columns, and would look strange to have the columns randomly cut off for a loss when it's the same person (as in Baron Hill's article). The best compromise, in my mind, is to list the person each time - it is a new election, after all. No need to worry about awkward 2-3-1-4 odd rowspans coming up; just a nice clean grid.
I'd be fine with moving this discussion off to the Congress Wikiproject's talk page if you want to. SnowFire (talk) 21:41, 16 February 2008 (UTC)

Sound spellings
editPastor is such an exotic, oddly spelled complicated name. You're right, we need a goddamn sound spelling.--2601:5C0:4280:3D40:A9D9:CF07:6273:46D2 (talk) 15:04, 12 July 2018 (UTC)
Citations too general for specific political issues
editI am finding that many of the citations purporting to back claims about his political positions do not mention either him, the issue, or both. They are generic pages about some lobby or his voting record or endorsements. It would be helpful to see deeper links, or specific stories about how he actually voted here. 2600:8800:1880:188:5604:A6FF:FE38:4B26 (talk) 04:15, 29 November 2018 (UTC)
