University, of the linked version be mentioned? The date of most recent access is missing. To be honest, I don't know exactly what the right form would be for these citations. For Internet citations, it's generally good to include author, title, publisher, date of publication, url, and access date, if all of these can be found. Complaints about too much data in a citation are not often heard, and it's always easier to delete a bit of excess than to hunt down a missing date, page number, or author.

The Manual of Style suggests avoiding the repetition of the article title in the heads and subheads. For that reason, I'd suggest truncating at least some of the heads to eliminate repetition of the words "Governor" and "New Jersey". The first two, for example, could become "Colonial" and "U.S.", and

A related change I made was in the third list, where the fact that DiFrancesco and Codey were listed as
Governor is supported by a footnote. I changed their cells in the "Notes" column to "Unelected Governor" (rather than just "Governor") because I still felt it was a worthy "note." Thanks very much

Thorpe is done. I think you can fix the others in similar fashion. Use the actual author (even if it's something like "Senate and
General Assembly of the State of New Jersey") for the "last" (name) parameter, the actual title (such as "Public Law Chapter 282: An Act concerning the title of Governor

Done. I think the way to handle this is to acknowledge the source but not the source's source. The
Lillian Goldman Law Library is the cited source, and it is citing a source (Thorpe) who cited, presumably, the primary source. The actual source we are citing is the law library, which I think is a

Citations 4 and 5 need the publisher's name and the date of most recent access. Can it be said who the author in each case was? Was it the New Jersey
Legislature, for example? Citation 3 looks strange to me. What is Francis Newton Thorpe the editor of? Should the publisher, Lillian Goldman Law

This is a good list, and I think you should nominate it for featured list status. However first I think you should make all of the lists on that page follow the same format for diffrentiating between elected and acting governors. The first list has blank spaces in the Notes section for elected

522:) in this instance. To cite Thorpe, you would need to get a copy of Thorpe's book and add publication details and page numbers, but I can't see any reason to do that. To see what parameters I needed for the "Citation" template, which I've not used before, I looked at the samples at
287:, which says in part, "Use as few links as possible before and in the bolded title." Generally the bolded titles aren't linked. I don't raise these points to be argumentative but to point out possible trouble spots as you move forward.
233:
There's a trend away from starting lists with the boilerplate "This is a list... ". Also, leads in similar articles usually extend beyond a bare-bones explanation of what "governor of X" involves. See, for example, the leads of
431:, but my direct experience with two-tier systems is limited. I can't point you to an explanation of how all these systems work; my own approach is to find things I like in other articles, study them in edit mode, and imitate.

says in part, "If the page is a list, do not introduce the list as "This is a list of X" or "This list of Xs..."." I hadn't noticed the double bolding of the title before you mentioned it. That may draw fire too, per

includes quite a few featured lists of U.S. governors. I wouldn't imitate them slavishly because if you look closely you'll probably find things that could be improved, but they are valuable models nonetheless.
604:
Done. The "actual author" I used for the second and third refs was "The people of the State of New Jersey, in convention," which is the most accurate reflection of what the actual documents say.

Just noticed this going on; as the person who's done most of the other featured governors lists, I'll give this a workover tomorrow to bring it to the template established in the others. --

Thorpe was the editor of the 1906 book which republished the 1776 NJ Constitution. The author in each of these cases was a constitutional convention that collectively wrote the document.

I don't think changing citation families will solve the underlying problem, which is figuring out which data goes where. Let me work a bit on the Thorpe entry.

I hope these suggestions prove helpful. If so, please consider reviewing another article, especially one from the PR backlog. That is where I found this one.

That's true, no doubt. I've unbolded the link, and I re-worded the first sentence so it doesn't begin with "This is a list...". I think I've avoided

It would be good to use a notes system that makes the second tier of note numbers embedded in the sublists clickable. Several systems can be used.

Thanks; they are very helpful. I appreciate you taking the time to review this article, and I certainly will try to help out with the PR backlog.

Bear in mind that when you add images, you'll need to add alt text as well as captions. Alt text is meant for readers who can't see the images.
