Numbering would also help. This order coincides with the order number found in the articles of Colombian presidents. If there are missing presidents then those numbering may also be flawed. LostLucidity (talk) 17:25, 10 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]

National Party?[edit]

This article lists many conservative presidents as members of the "National Party", that party never existed, they were members of the Conservative Party. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 190.28.198.66 (talk) 21:46, 21 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Nomenclature and numerical order[edit]

This is looking pretty good. I would like to suggest that for the three columns on the left, where [# de facto], [# de jure] and [# Uniuqe], a foot note or link needs to be added to explain and clarify what is the criteria to establish this particular order. The way it is right now, it is impossible to determine why are they in such an order. A foot note should explain the rationale, guidelines and criteria to determine such placement or order. --Grancafé ^*parley 01:20, 17 March 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Removal of non-free images[edit]

I have removed the non-free images from this article for failing WP:NFG. In each case, these non-free can and should or already are in use on biographical articles of the president listed. The use of non-free images on this article jumped it into 11th place on the "Pages containing an unusually high number of non-free files" report. There's no justification invalidating WP:NFG for this usage. Thank you, --Hammersoft (talk) 14:31, 1 July 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Source for the Numbering[edit]

I note that with respect to the numbering the following is used :

"For the purposes of numbering, a presidency is defined as an uninterrupted period of time in office served by one person. For example, Rafael Núñez Moledo served two consecutive terms and is counted as the first president (not the first and second). Upon the resignation of 5th president Rafael Reyes Prieto, Ramón González Valencia became the 6th president even though he simply served out the remainder of Reyes's second term and was never elected to the presidency in his own right. Alfonso López Pumarejo was both the 14th president and the 16th president, his two terms having been non-consecutive"

What is the source of this numbering scheme ? There should be a WP:RS for this choice or is it our WP:OR ? LGA _talk^edits 00:25, 29 June 2014 (UTC)[reply]
