[edit] Governors List?

When a Governor dies, resigns or is removed from office; the Lieutenant Governor does not become Governor. They remain Lieutenant Governor, performer gubernatorial duties as Acting Governor. The List needs to be revamped. GoodDay 21:35, 5 November 2007 (UTC)

Thank you; that's information that for some states can be unclear. I'll note it when I can. --Golbez 04:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Eking-1.jpg

Image:Eking-1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Acting Governors

In the incidences where the Lt Gov had to fill-in as Acting Governor for the rest of term, the person is still Lieutenant Governor. Therefore, there shouldn't be any vacancies, next to the Acting Governors tenures (as they are the Lieutenant Governors). GoodDay (talk) 23:08, 17 March 2008 (UTC)

True. Except for in 1800, when the Council was governor. Sahasrahla (talk) 03:01, 18 March 2008 (UTC)
