This table could easily be placed in the broader article on state governors. I also don't think a table is necessary, especially a separate article. Presidentman talk · contribs (Talkback) 23:17, 3 March 2019 (UTC)
I recently added this:
During the 1780s when the Articles of Confederation were in effect, in nine of the thirteen states, the head of government was called the governor, in three (South Carolina, Delaware, and New Hampshire) he was called the president, and in one (Pennsylvania) the government was headed by an Executive Council of three men, one of whom was the president of the executive council.[citation needed] When the Constitution of the United States was adopted, it was decided to call the head of the federal government the president of the United States and shortly after that the states calling their head of government the president changed the title to governor.[citation needed]
Someone deleted it.
Since these facts are widely known, I thought someone well read in that area of history would take my citation-needed tags as an invitation to add suitable sources, but instead someone deleted it. Is this not essential to properly understanding the history? Can someone here who knows which books are best to cite in support of these facts add that information?

Should Maura Healy be added to the LGBT governors section since she identifies as lesbian? Or should we wait until she's sworn in? Augusta459 (talk) 01:51, 14 November 2022 (UTC)
