We have to put in party designations. Color-blind readers can't necessarily see them. See Wikipedia:Manual of Style#Formatting issues. Color can be left in, but we need to have also the (D) and (R) for the parties. — Mark Adler (markles) 21:20, 27 February 2006 (UTC)
Harry F. Byrd, Jr. did not become independent until 1970. His color on the table should be changed to reflect that. -- Appraiser 15:00, 20 April 2007 (UTC)
We need to bring some consistency to this page regarding the political party nomenclature. For instance we have Pro-Admin (abbr) but the linked page uses (P) for Pro-Administration. The same exists for Anti-Admin (abbr) and the linked page uses (A) for Anti-Administration. Also when party names exist for a particular Congress, we should make sure to use that name and continue to use nomenclature from previous Congresses (e.g., Federalist (F) instead of Pro-Administration Party (United States), Democratic-Republican (DR) instead of Anti-Administration Party (United States)). -- The Founders Intent 17:25, 24 October 2007 (UTC)
In the 18th Congress James Stephenson and Andrew Stevenson need to have their districts flipped (9th v. 16th). I'm sorry, but I don't know how to fix this myself. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:18C:CB00:1B80:EC23:5E0A:B9C6:5C1A ( talk) 01:55, 22 July 2020 (UTC)
The 7th district article says Archibald Stuart was in the 7th district, but this article lists him as being in the 19th district. Likewise, the 12th district article lists James Garland as being in the 12th district, but here he's listed as being in the 7th. Why is there such a huge contradiction, and what is the correct information? - LtNOWIS ( talk) 07:49, 30 September 2010 (UTC)

I couldn't figure out how to change this, so if someone with more experience with tables would help out, it would be great.
The issue is in the 1853 – 1863: 13 seats section, specifically for the 4th Congressional District representative, William Goode. He was elected to the 36th Congress but died in office and was succeeded by Roger Atkinson Pryor. In order for the table to be completely accurate, the block for Goode needs to extend partially into the row for the 36th Congress and the block for Pryor needs to start below the top of that row. This has been done in other tables; I just can't figure out how to manipulate the rows to make it happen here. Thanks for any help you can give!— D'Ranged 1 talk 23:11, 17 September 2012 (UTC)
