message: WHAT THE HELL? I thought this page once contained lists of mayors from various cities from around the world. Where did they go? Has it become the official policy of Wikipedia to be blatantly American biased? SD6-Agent 02:28, 16 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I too took umbrage. We have 65.124.105.40 to thank for that bias, which I have now corrected. I can't believe I didn't notice earlier. Thanks for bringing this to my attention, --Cyberjunkie | Talk 08:43, 16 August 2005 (UTC)

message: We say very confidently that in the larger Italian towns mayors are selected by the council and that in smaller ones they are appointed by the central government. The Italian article :it:sindaco, albeit a bit of a stub, says very confidently that mayors are appointed in each comune by direct election, for a term of five years which can be renewed once. Total disagreement here. Anyone know which is correct? —Ian Spackman 01:48, 3 July 2006 (UTC)

message: What are the term limits for mayors in the United States?  I'm interested particularly in the mayors of major U.S. cities, New York for example. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.86.185.59 (talk) 00:25, 7 February 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: In California, term limits are determined by local option, and many cities and counties do not even have term limits.  Where term limits exist, each city or county determines the number of terms or the number of consecutive terms.  DERoss (talk) 00:55, 5 August 2014 (UTC)

message: Does anyone know of if the etymology was influenced by the old scottish term mormaer, which was in essence the chief or regional king of the post-pictish era? This is probably well on the way to WP:SYN or WP:NOR, but out of sheer curiosity, does anyone know? I will ask on the other articles talk page also. Paul Roberton (talk) 16:08, 3 January 2009 (UTC)

message: 'Borgmästare' is obsolete. The title of the leader of a municipal administration nowadays is 'kommunalråd' or 'Municipal Councillor'. There may be several councillors in bigger cities; in that case the councillor for finance is the leader. However, the highest rank - somewhat like the rank of king in a constitutional monarchy - belongs to the chairman of the municipal board. Some of these translate their title as 'mayor' when receiving foreign guests.
It is also somewhat incorrect that the 'borgmästare' was appointed by the government, or at least it will give wrong impressions. The title was during its last time - from the 1830s to the 1960s - a title for the chairman of the city court, i.e. a title of a lawyer, and not a political/administrative one. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Janwiklund (talk • contribs) 19:58, 1 May 2010 (UTC)

message: The main article says: "In rural municipalities(RM) in the province of Manitoba, the elected head of the RM is still referred to as a "reeve"."  The province of Saskatchewan also has RMs (rural municipalities), and the RMs have an official known as the reeve.  I do not know if a reeve in Saskatchewan has the same authority as a reeve in Manitoba.  DERoss (talk) 00:54, 5 August 2014 (UTC)
replies: text: In British Columbia the term "reeve" was also used until quite recently in smaller/(formerly-)rural municipalities, e.g. The Rerve of Saanich (part of Greater Victoria). Sorry can't follow this up right now, but it might be of interest. --D Anthony Patriarche, BSc (talk) 14:54, 3 January 2021 (UTC)
