Updates required

[edit]

House numbers need to be updated to Republican:217, Democratic:212, Vacant:6. I've tried, but couldn't do it. GoodDay (talk) 22:34, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: The current tally is set correctly, per House member data. Accoroding to the official House casualty list, Mike Gallagher is set to resign only on April 26th. JohnNatalis (talk) 23:12, 24 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Greg Lopez was sworn in on the 8th. I can try to make as many updates as I can, but the diagrams are a little beyond my skillset. Especially the one with the caucus breakdown. Rexodus (talk) 16:14, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you! I'll update the diagrams and other tallies accordingly. JohnNatalis (talk) 13:13, 12 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Question about footnote

[edit]

Presuming that Mike Gallagher's resignation has taken effect is footnote [A] still needed? (Sorry if this is a silly question) Hamadi31 (talk) 23:08, 23 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Closed seems like someone removed it. Hamadi31 (talk) 00:44, 30 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 4 June 2024

[edit]

Fill in one of the vacancies dots with red because a new republican got sworn in yesterday 73.22.56.65 (talk) 17:55, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 21:48, 4 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Colors for american arch diagrams

[edit]

Hi, I'm maintaining the ParliamentDiagram tool which makes the apportionment diagrams you see in the article's infobox.

We have a specific page for making US diagrams with hardcoded colors and parties.

However, that page seems to be out of date with current practices on two main points :

- The ordering of Independent and Vacant seats. The order we use is Dem-Rep-Ind-Vac, but the current diagram puts the vacant seats in the middle, which represents the majorities more accurately. What order would you see as canonical ? And since the dems seat at the right of the speaker, wouldn't it make more sense to place them at the right of the diagram instead of the left ?

- The colors. We use #6b6b6b with no border for the vacant seats, when the current diagram uses pure-white with a .91 pure-black stroke around it. Our republicans are #ff0000 whereas yours are #e81b23, our dems are #0000ff whereas yours are #3333ff. And there are no independents in the current diagram, but we mark them as #c9c9c9. What colors would you see as canonical

Answers in issue #151 are more likely to be seen ! And this also concerns the Senate and any state legislature, so if there are places where contributors to US parliament pages hang out, feel free to notify them ! Gouvernathor (talk) 11:54, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

LaMonica McIver

[edit]

LaMonica McIver becomes a congresswoman. The Democrats’ seats jump from 211 to 212. There are now 3 vacancies. 2603:7080:8600:26C1:7D51:D4AF:4362:8FD7 (talk) 21:55, 23 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]
