Proposal to change symbol used to mark "reelected"

edit

The current symbol used to mark "reelected", an "X", carries a negative connotation. It typically means "to cancel" or "to delete", neither of which is intended here.

I'd propose using another mark, such as ♦.

I'm putting this same proposal also under the Second Confederate Congress.

Proposal to cross-reference representatives who were in the Provisional, 1st, 2nd Confederate Congresses

edit

I'd like to propose cross-referencing between the Provisional, First, and Second Confederate Congresses. I think that it should be kept simple. One possibility is after the name to put a mark:

[P] - When a member of the 1st or 2nd Confederate Congress was in the Provisional Confederate Congress.
[1] - When a member of the Provisional or 2nd Confederate Congress was in the 1st Confederate Congress.
[2] - When a member of the Provisional or 1st Confederate Congress was in the 2nd Confederate Congress.

I am also posting this suggestion under the Provisional and Second Confederate Congress pages.

How did they have 11 in the the first Congress but only 10 in the second and a total electoral vote of 12 (2 Senators 10 House) in the 1861 CSA pres election? 70.59.65.23 (talk) 15:54, 18 February 2019 (UTC) It may be that https://www.ncpedia.org/biography/venable-abraham-watkins Abraham Watkins Venable was not in the first congress.
