Talk:89th United States Congress

Discrepancy in Mississippi

There is a discrepancy between the roster of members from Mississippi and the map's display. The roster shows 4 of 5 members from Mississippi being Democrats, but the map shows the state's delegation to be majority Republican. Does anyone know which is correct? 76.169.9.64 05:55, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• The map color for Mississippi is incorrect. Reps were Abernethy (D), Colmer (D), Walker (R), Whitten (D), and Williams (D): four Democrats, one Republican.--Appraiser 13:03, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• I have no clue how to fix the map. So if anyone is more technically gifted than I and can edit that, it would be great.76.169.9.64 21:40, 12 March 2007 (UTC)

• Same here. Probably all the states should be checked too - the map may be entirely from a different congress. Maybe we should just delete it?--Appraiser 12:50, 13 March 2007 (UTC)

Fair use rationale for Image:John mccormack.jpg

Image:John mccormack.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion.

How should the senators be ordered. Contrary to most articles for congress, the senators are arranged by seniority, rather than by order of by class. I believe that this is a poor way of arranging them, as during a congress, the senior senator may retire, but the new junior senator is still listed above the now senior senator. I would like a consensus on whether arranging them by seniority or by class is the best way of listing themLawrence 979 (talk) 21:16, 5 July 2021 (UTC)
