holy toledo, 36 governor races in 2006. Is this unusual? i don't recall there being so many at one time before. Kingturtle 08:05, 5 January 2006 (UTC)
Can anyone give me a good reason why the Mayor of DC doesn't belong on the list territorial governors? Other than his title, is his job that different from, say, the governor of American Samoa? Not trying to say he's co-equal with a state governor (to use the language above on the talk page), but he is the chief executive of an inhabited US territory. -- Jfruh 22:59, 10 March 2006 (UTC)
To save anyone doing this again, here is the modified table:

Guam and US Virgin Islands undecided.
In addition to the states, several other areas belong to the United States. The governors of those areas are:

Togiola Tulafono | American Samoa | List | Democrat | 2003 | 2008 |
Felix Perez Camacho | Guam | List | Republican | 2002 | 2010 |

I've updated the party names to read "Democratic", where applicable, rather than "Democrat", as there is no such thing as the "Democrat Party", and the heading for the table read "Party". It is correct to use the term "Democrat" as a noun, but as an adjective describing type of party "Democratic" is the correct word. See: Democrat Party (phrase). ShawshankRedemption 04:32, 14 December 2006 (UTC)
I nominated this article for a split, in order to archive information about the current (2006) state of affiairs for governors in the US. This list may be quite useful in five or more years, and is worth saving in an encyclopedic manner. An example: the Partisan mix of congressional delegations was split in a similar manner, to save the information about the 109th Congress in a new article name: Partisan_mix_of_congressional_delegations,_109th_congress, and to distinguish it from the future 110th Congress Partisan_mix_of_congressional_delegations,_110th_congress, and making the original title (shorn of its history, and without a congress number suffix) redirect to the current Congress number article.

This may seem like splitting hairs, but Fortuño is NOT the Republican governor of Puerto Rico. He is the New Progressive Governor of Puerto Rico. National party affiliations do not really apply to Puerto Rico. Voters in Puerto Rico elected Fortuño on the New Progressive ticket, not the Republican. The reason I'm mentioning all this is because I keep having to correct Fortuño's party shading from a GOP shading. This is fundamentally incorrect based on the way Puerto Rican politics work.

Currently the Governors of Iowa (Branstad) & South Carolina (Haley) are nominees for Ambassadorships. However, we should wait until either or both of them resign as governors, before we include their successors (Reynolds, McMaster) into this article. Also, from the moment of Branstad's & Haley's confirmations to when they resign, they're still governors & so Reynold & McMaster should be listed as governors-designate during the brief period of time.

I noticed that if you sort the list by a non-default column (e.g. "Inauguration") and then attempt to restore the alphabetical order, clicking on the "Name" column does not return the list to an alphabetical order.

I noticed that if you sort the list by a non-default column (e.g. "Inauguration") and then attempt to restore the alphabetical order, clicking on the "Name" column does not return the list to an alphabetical order. The order goes Alaska, Arizona, Delaware, Louisiana... I think this is most likely due to the file names, but am not sure. Fixing it would be greatly appreciated. - Presidentman talk · contribs ( Talkback) 02:34, 12 January 2018 (UTC)

List goes back in for and not in the correct ascending or deceasing order. I am not able to figure out how to fix this. 2601:18C:4200:4AF0:1D17:E7C2:87EA:FFBE ( talk) 22:49, 5 February 2024 (UTC)
I noticed that the "party affiliation" map lists Republicans (27) and Democrats (27). Should it be changed to 23 Democrats, to match the rest of the article? Or is this intentional (to include the territories)? Sxg169 ( talk) 19:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)
