That about sums up what started this discussion in the first place  On entries for railroad presidents I was adding the railroad name and years of the subjects presidency  Now for some entries such as for Ralph Budd president of GN and CBQ or for John W Barriger III president of Monon PLE and MKT or more recently for Mike Haverty president of ATSF and KCS this description could get quite lengthy as the managers moved around to different railroads  For links to bios that have not yet been written this information could be helpful for a potential editor to find information on the subject in order to write the bio  However after reading the comments above Im more inclined to agree on a minimalist description to keep the list uncluttered  Separate list pages such as one Id been thinking about creating List of railroad presidents can go into more detail listing the information that we would otherwise have put into this list  Personally it doesnt matter much to me but since a convention has been described its easy enough to follow
