The graphic by the qualifications section doesn't make any sense to me. Each state only gets two senators, so why does Kansas have five somethings in the image? Even if some of it were referencing the house, Kansas would have six and Florida would have way more than it does on the graphic. I don't want to delete someone's hard work for no reason, but a clarification in the caption of the photo as to what the numbers represent would be helpful.

I requested citations for an article that contained not several or many citations, but not a SINGLE Citation. It did contain LINKS, which linked to definitions, other Wikipedia articles but not what one would consider "reference" material such as a link to a newspaper, encyclopedia, etc. I was told by a, very regular contributor to Wikipedia, editor of Wikipedic entries, all around bane to sophomoric Wikipedia contributors that the article was fine and didn't require anything more than this type of citation: two chambers rather than this type of citation: chamber being the lower house https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Upper_house#cite_note-1 So, links to other Wikipedia articles and definitions are acceptable citations? Or not? Thank you... 2600:1700:8A90:ECF0:916F:20EC:FBF:8C (talk) 14:48, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

I want to edit the note [a] as it is misleading to false. Note states "independent Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin III of West Virginia do not caucus with the Democrats, but are "formally aligned with the Democrats for committee purposes".[4]"
When going to the following reference [4] The article only speaks of Kyrsten Sinema and her alignment and how she is quoted to say "formally aligned with the Democrats for committee purposes" in the following article "https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2023/03/23/sinema-trashes-dems-gop-00088461" But note [a] states that "independent Sens. Kyrsten Sinema of Arizona and Joe Manchin III of West Virginia do not caucus with the Democrats, but are "formally aligned with the Democrats for committee purposes".[4]" The "formally aligned with the Democrats for committee purposes" is Kyrsten Quote only and we should not mislead the readers that those are Joe Machins words as well, It is blatant misrepresentation.
The note should state that recently Joe Machins left the Democratic party and registered independent. OR we should just remove "but are "formally aligned with the Democrats for committee purposes".[4]" because those are only Kyrstens words quoted not Joe Machins. OR we should be clear that that is Kyrsten's quote only. There are many ways to skin this cat so to speak.
