message: I'm fairly confident that it is only by some error I have been unable to locate or remedy that the table for governors who went on to other offices is formatted to lie to the right of the list of governors -- there is some overlap whereby, e.g., Lamar Alexander's service is at the same height of each table, but not enough for me to think it intentional -- but I don't know how to fix it and can imagine, anyway, that I'm mistaken. Anyone care to have a crack at either fixing or explaining the setup?Czrisher (talk) 19:38, 8 July 2013 (UTC)
replies: text: Bizarre.  I tried adding a section header for Other high offices held.  The TOC recognizes this heading, but it doesn't appear in the article body.  I'm guessing that would fix the problem.  As far as I can tell, the formatting is the same as List of Governors of Mississippi, so I don't see how the heading shows up on that list but not this one.

message: I figure the occupation aspect was more applicable to 19th century governors, but I wonder if a better use of the occupation space would be an area for prior offices.
For example, with his twelve years in Congress, Governor Sundquist has a substantially different background from Governor Lee. However, Sundquist and Lee are both simply listed as "businessman".
I'd also like to further note that Lamar Alexander has "US Senator" listed under "occupation" although he was not a Senator for more than a decade after his term as governor.
In either case, I find the "occupation" column strange and inconsistent.Lrd31e (talk) 16:25, 11 February 2019 (UTC)
