Talk:Rick Snyder

message: This article is blatantly and obviously Republican propaganda. Wikipedia is not a site for hagiography and self-promotion. This entire article will now be rewritten with a neutral point of view. The new article will address the most notable and famous episode of Rick Snyder's life, which is his intentional poisoning of the citizens of Flint, Michigan. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:8807:a280:9b00:11b2:3bde:595f:7444 (talk) 13:17, December 19, 2015‎
:I've added some further detail about the water crisis in Flint. Are there other parts of the article that are imbalanced? gobonobo + c 21:57, 19 December 2015 (UTC)

message: Hi, , my edit to remove the governor-elect from the infobox successor field was reverted by this edit, with the comment, "We show the governors-elect". I would like to get some clarification on this, since the instructions for  say not to include -elect or -designate successors, or the end of an incumbent's term, until such an event actually transpires. This guideline seems to say the infobox should represent reality as exists today, not as it may be one day—the governor-elect is not currently the successor to the governor, though she will become his successor once his term ends and she is sworn in. Where is the guideline that gives the opposite guidance? Sarcasmboy (talk) 08:21, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: For years, it's been the practice on political bios to show an individual's successor-to-be in the infobox. For example, check across the articles of the current lame-duck US governors & lieutenant governors & you'll see their successors-to-be mentioned. GoodDay (talk) 15:11, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Thank you for the response. I think that, if this is indeed where the consensus is on this topic, the instructions for  should be updated to reflect that. At the moment, they are in conflict with the practice as you describe. I will say, it does still seem inconsistent to me to list the successor-elect but not list the end of term, since these are linked to the same actual event, the swearing in of his successor. If he were to leave office early, both the term-end and successor would be different. Sarcasmboy (talk) 20:59, 19 November 2018 (UTC)
