[edit] List of popes (graphical)
Sorry to break the cricket streak. Well, I really like this graphical representation of our already-features list of popes. The refs, see also, and lead are just copied from there. I think the only problem right now is that it's an orphan (and if anyone could help me with that I'd appreciate it). --Dmcdevit 03:59, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Hmm, definitely an excellent list, but unfortunately, it's only partially translated from German (most links after 752 are dead at the moment). I did some cleanup work a while back, but have to admit that I never got around to finishing the complete list. If and when all the links are fixed, I'll definitely support. -- Ferkelparade π 07:30, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- I've had a further go, but a few names eluded me, and we need to check the pope/antipope colours. -- ALoan (Talk) 10:21, 24 Jun 2005 (UTC)
- Okay, I feel stupid :) Well if they're in the right order, we should be able to copy the names from list of popes, right? I'll try to find the time. --Dmcdevit 23:32, 25 Jun 2005 (UTC)
Oppose. At the very least, it needs an explanation of when the timelines break when they do. Is there something special about the year 461. Also, each section works to a different scale, making it difficult to easily compare between them - for example, the green bar for John Paul II's 27 years is about the same length as Alexander II's 12 years.

- Comment - while I like the overall article, I don't like the fact that some of the graphs cover 500 years, others 400, others 300 - it's better form for all the graphs to cover a fixed amount of time, thus making the reigns of various popes directly comparable. Guettarda 30 June 2005 16:28 (UTC)
- Support now. Guettarda 1 July 2005 22:33 (UTC)
- Support now - I have standardised on 400 years (which is about right at the beginning, to long in the middle, and too short at the end) but I think it does the job very. -- ALoan (Talk) 30 June 2005 19:53 (UTC)
