Talk:Massachusetts General Court

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Massachusetts General Court is part of WikiProject Massachusetts, an effort to create, expand, and improve Massachusetts-related articles to a feature-quality standard.

Any reason the officeholders couldn't be added here like at DKosopedia's MGC page? PhilipR 03:17, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

OK, I added them. But I'm not sure if the one vacancy mentioned in this article predates or postdates DKos' tally (7 GOP, no vacancies). Looks like Wikipedia's version was changed more recently. Will research this. And my addition of DKos as a link in no way is intended to endorse their political take -- if there are other good active US political wikis with pages for MA government, I'll add them too. -- PhilipR 14:14, 19 May 2005 (UTC)

[edit] Middle Initials

In hacking the names in from DKosopedia and updating them from the official page, my new policy is to remove middle initials except for common or known-ambiguous names (Scott P. Brown or Richard T. Moore, not to be confused with other Scott Browns or a specific Richard Moore). My assumption is, the simplest unambiguous name for a future Wiki page, the better. I'm not too adamant about that though so feel free to dispute the issue here.
