A problem with politics articles, especially senator articles

Mark Kelly: "A member of the Democratic Party, he has been the senior U.S. senator from Arizona since 2020". This isn't actually true. He's been in the Senate since 2020, but he only just became the senior senator. I think similar statements appear in a number of articles. 174.160.82.127 (talk) 07:12, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Correct. It's a problem that people care about shoehorning in whether they are the junior or senior senator without regard for sentence flow. Please edit those articles to fix it or at least tell us which ones do this. I'll fix Kelly. – Muboshgu (talk) 15:26, 4 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Order in the 'President of the Continental Congress' is fucked

In the infobox of each President of the Continental Congress holder, the order is self-contradictory with one another. Some of them are ordered based on the name of the office (ie. 1st President of the First Continental Congress v 1st President of the Confederation Congress) or ordered based on all previous titles combined. These also contradict the NavBox at the bottom of each page. Can someone who better knows the topic let me know which order is best? GGOTCC (talk) 05:25, 8 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Need Help Writing & Checking Already Written Summaries

I have been working on Draft:List of attacks on the United States for several weeks, and I have a lot of summaries already written, but still a lot to write. The lead is still incomplete, but it is on the docket to do at the very end (to help clearly define the scope and such). The scope will eventually be any attack or overall campaign (like the Gettysburg campaign) which is against the U.S.. Large scope, I know, but my vision for the article will make it extremely good and extremely useful.

Anyway, if anyone wants to help me write some summaries (1942 to 2025) or do some accuracy and grammatical checks on the already written summaries (1776 to 1941), feel free to help out. I started it in November 2024, so probably only a couple more months of work to do on it to get it ready for mainspace. The Weather Event Writer (Talk Page) 01:55, 16 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I'm not sure what the process is for changing the image, but I wanted to bring this to the project's attention. Thanks. Puzzledvegetable^{Is it teatime already?} 00:42, 20 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

From what I understand, this is a formulaic structure used across US municipality articles. I don't really see the problem with it spelled out like this, given it directly reflects the census data in a consistent fashion across articles. Remsense ‥ 论 07:17, 26 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]
