Serving together

Myself & @JohnFromPinckney: appear to be in a little dispute, concerning whether or not Bob Ferguson belongs in Heck's infobox. Ferguson has recently be elected governor, while Heck has been re-elected lieutenant governor. As I understand it, we've always had governors or lieutenant governors together, even if they weren't elected on the same ticket. So @Mandruss, Muboshgu, Space4Time3Continuum2x, and Golbez:, what should be done? Include or exclude. GoodDay (talk) 00:01, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

Undo; I misunderstood entirely. This is just about including the governor-elect? ... Mu. Kind of don't care either way, as the problem will naturally resolve itself in a few weeks. --Golbez (talk) 03:30, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

However, honestly, I see the logic in John's edit summary wording. He's a sitting lieutenant governor, so it does feel a little off to include the person who is elected to succeed the person he's serving with, in the "current situation" infobox, as that's ... a future situation... look, I'm doing my best with what I've got sober-wise right now. If I had to choose a side, I'd say include it, because, again, he's going to be there anyway, and if something outrageous happens then we can fix and note that, but 99% of the time we're looking at Ferguson taking office in January. But I do see the logic in wanting it omitted as well, since it does have the faint whiff of anachronism to it. --Golbez (talk) 03:33, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
