The various editors working on the articles in this series seem to have reached consensus on wikilinking an officeholder's name only the first time it appears in the chart, as would be done in a paragraph in a normal article, where a term is wikilinked only the first time it appears in that section or in that article. This seems to make it a lot easier for someone to trace the progression of the career of a particular politician or to determine, for example, which kinds of officeholders are elected, say, governor or to the U.S. Senate from that particular state. In some states, for example, lesser statewide elected officials are elevated to these jobs; in others, U.S. Representatives more often are given these promotions. If there's a non-wikilinked name, it seems to make it easier for readers to observe that that official previously held another position, rather than having every name wikilinked every time it appears. One smaller issue is the bolding of current officeholders; this seems to be done just to make it clear who's still in office. Qqqqqq (talk) 17:28, 5 March 2009 (UTC)Reply

2000 in the 21st century?

Doesn't the 21st century begin in 2001 and not 2000? Phobosphobia (talk) 02:49, 6 January 2011 (UTC)Reply
