Robert Franklin Armfield was (3rd) Lieutenant Governor in the Time of 1875–1876, according to [1] why is he not named and counted in here? So Mark Robinson would be the 36th one. In german wikipedia he is counted so we have now 36 Lieutenant Governor. I wont do such a big improvement in a foreign language. So please change it, if that fact is correct. Thank you Thopas ( talk) 11:16, 28 February 2021 (UTC)
I was reading up on the North Carolina Constitution recently. Article III, Section 2, Subsection 1, states; “Their term of office shall be four years and shall commence on the first day of January next after their election and continue until their successors are elected and qualified” which refers to the terms of both the Governor and Lieutenant Governor of North Carolina. This has been in the NC Constitution since 1971 so all governors and lt. governors after 1971 have started their terms on January 1st, therefore we have been using the governors public inauguration dates as their term starts which are incorrect, furthermore stands with the council of state.

Review process started and may take a few days for placing initial comments.

Starting with comments:
(1) Lead section and the article appears to be well-written in general. For the lead section, its the paragraph breaks which might look a little better if you move the first two sentences of the second paragraph into the first paragraph. After that, if you could move the first sentence of your paragraph three to the end of paragraph two, and it might look better. Currently, the material appears to be a bunched up at the end and these new paragraph breaks might be useful.
(2) Your date for starting the Background section is directly after the end of the Civil War and I'm wondering about this historical transition in 1868. Was there nothing useful to say about the State administration hierarchy both before the Civil War and during the Civil War which might be of interest to readers of this article? Where there any changes which were enacted upon the Southern states after the War because of the outcome of the War? Were there any protocols imposed during Reconstruction which made certain requirements upon the Southern states? Which versions of the previous state constitutions, which years, were used for defining the office of Lieut. Governor? Was there an analogous office prior to the Civil War?
(3) The Table at the end of the article is a little bulky looking and I'm wondering if a two column format might improve things in terms of the current list being so very long. The third column (years in office) and the fourth column (party affiliation) in the list, it seems, could be 'coded' into the first column; just state the party and the years under the name of the elected official as you already do in your last column. That would reduce the number of columns in the list and allow for a "div col 2" approach for the List as a whole.
Indy beetle: These are the main items at this time; let me know if any clarifications are needed. ErnestKrause ( talk) 19:07, 10 November 2022 (UTC)

(1) Lead section looks better.
(2) If you can add that Pennsylvania or Ohio even used the off ice of Lieut. Governor historically before North Carolina did, then it would add to the article's historical context. Do you think that North Carolina may have been the first in the South to introduce this office?
(3) The table is occasionally printed out by readers of the article using the Wikipedia options to print out articles and that gets a bit lengthy for this table format which you have chosen. I'm still thinking along the lines of two columns; the first half of the list goes in the first column, and the second half goes in the second column. If you don't know how, then you might post it on one of the helper pages for a quick response, and possibly someone can do it for you. The print out size will be twice as small in pages printed in a two column format. ErnestKrause ( talk) 18:10, 11 November 2022 (UTC)
