Add state abbreviations to candidates
[edit]Could we add the state of the candidate next to the party? Example: Joe Biden (D-DE) or John McCain (R-AZ) Many good sources use this kind of abbreviation, maybe this one (And other states) could as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by RGrosjean51 (talk • contribs) 16:17, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
- Hi @RGrosjean51 – I expanded and help raise this and few other lists to featured status. Appreciate your suggestions, but I am quite skeptical about it. Yes, many reliable sources indeed use home state of the candidate with their party affiliation, but I doubt whether it would be helpful here. It would make this table much more information dense—to that point that it would compromise its readability. And in my opinion, these lists should be more concerned with the state's results, and should note about candidate's home state only if it is same as of the list. Example: I have added a footnote in Arizona list telling that John McCain and Barry Goldwater were from Arizona, which is helpful there. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 16:39, 24 October 2021 (UTC)
