List of Justices of the Supreme Court of the United States[edit]

I went through this list and feels that it meets the criteria. Warhol13 21:10, 7 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

  • Support Very nice. :-) My only concern is the large gap between the lead and the table, due to the {{SCOTUS}} nav-box on the right. I suggest something like a gallery of current members. Tompw (talk) 12:31, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
yeah I thought the same thing. I was trying to put the {{SCOTUS}} horizontally at the bottom, but I couldn't figure it out. Is there anybody more experienced with the technical aspects of the wikipedia who could do something like that? Warhol13 14:00, 8 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
There's no way to do that without creating a new template, so I created {{SCOTUS horizontal}} and added it at the bottom. Tompw (talk) 21:12, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • comment I notice some lists are set up so the reader can can self-sort by column. This might be useful for the 'State of birth' and 'Appointed by' columns. Hmains 19:39, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
    Because the "Term of service" cell spans three columns, class=wikitable sortable (the usual way of doing that) won't work. Tompw (talk) 21:13, 10 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I'm concerned about this sentence: "Persons such as Robert H. Harrison or Edwin Stanton, who were appointed to the court but never served, are not listed." Are they the only people who didn't serve? Please elaborate on this. If this is already fixed, then I would support.--Ed ¿Cómo estás? 01:50, 12 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment I added a timeline a few days ago, but I got an error for the justices before 1800. I put those on the talk page. Could someone with more techniocal knowledge re-add them? Thank you. --Donar Reiskoffer 13:04, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment - would it be prudent to add the chief justice terms to the timeline? Like, color the bars differently when they are chief? --Golbez 23:23, 15 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: does the key for the timeline say "justice"? (It doesn't display properly in my browser so it's difficult to read.) If so, I would change it to "tenure", or something like that. I also second Golbez's suggestion above. -- bcasterline • talk 05:44, 17 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
Two things 1. If you read the Date Format for the EasyTimeline, it says that dd/mm/yyyy and mm/dd/yyyy are only supported to 1800. If we want to go before that we need to go to years. Argh. It looks like I may need to submit a bug report in order to get this fixed. 2. In regards to "justice" being hard to read, thats another bug problem. I cannot fix that. Do you have any suggestions to make it either to read? In conclusion, basically the two problems with the graph are bug problems that I am having a tough time controlling. We should take away this graph until the major problem is fixed with the code. Either way, what are your guys thoughts on promoting it without the graph. Considering that List of Justices of the Supreme Court of Canada doesn't have a graph I say we still promote. I will then fix the graph as soon as I am able.

Conditional support — If Now that the timeline is fixed (the letters overlap at the bottom) – Zntrip 02:24, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]

That was another code problem, but I took out the words that were over it. The timeline is as good as it can be right now, I believe, given the code. Warhol13 18:19, 23 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
