This article has been mentioned by a media organization: Jordan Davidson (June 15, 2021). "Wikipedia's Quiet, Big-Tech-Funded Grip On Internet Knowledge Gives It Too Much Power". The Federalist (website). Retrieved June 16, 2021. In one recent example, New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo, who is under federal and state investigation for mishandling the COVID-19 pandemic and growing list of scandals, is described on his Wikipedia page in a positive light while Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis, a potential GOP frontrunner for the 2024 presidential election, is painted as a partisan hack who ignored the science.

I am not a native English speaking editor, but the sentence "At the time of his resignation, he was the longest-tenured governor in the United States" made me thinking what it really mean, so I decided to reword it better. However I do not have a source for the date I used for the beginning date (January 7, 2019), it is my own research, but there was no source before my edit either. I found that before him Butch Otter had this record, who served continuously from January 1, 2007. So please double check it! Thanks! JSoos (talk) 19:16, 29 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Mateodepalacios: I understand, it is much easier to delete a relevant statement with error, than correct it. So I was wrong, before him it was not Otter but Gary Herbert, so the beginning date is 4 January 2021. Still I can not put reference, only the snapshot of the list of current governors article proves it (Ordered Inauguration column shows it):

• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_current_United_States_governors&oldid=998031743 3 January 2021
• https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=List_of_current_United_States_governors&oldid=998264618 4 January 2021

@BarrelProof: Q: "Who really cares about this very narrow category of distinction?" A: I think if somebody serves a position for a very long time, making a record long service among all the governors, may be worth to mention. JSoos (talk) 17:14, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@BarrelProof: It is not true, what you are saying in the edit history. 1.: It was not me, who wrote it in te lead section, I just improved it. (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Andrew_Cuomo&diff=1043084630&oldid=1042973886&diffmode=source) 2. You do not need to start a talk about it, because it is already here, and you are not reacting here! JSoos (talk) 18:22, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

(edit conflict) Sorry for not noticing this discussion before acting. For some reason the first ping did not work (the second one did). I also had not realized that the sentence had a longer history than I was aware of, as I had not seen this Talk page discussion. I just think it is a relatively minor point, and the lead section of the article should be brief and should be only a distilled summary. I certainly have no problem with mentioning this in the body of the article, but I lean against its inclusion in the lead section. For the record, at the time of my removal of the sentence, it said "From Utah governor Gary Herbert's retirement on January 4, 2021, until he resigned, he was the longest-tenured governor in the United States still in position." Can we at least move some of the detail into the article body? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 18:25, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks for answering! The original sentence was amended to the fact of his resignation, as "At the time of his resignation, he had the longest tenure of any incumbent governor...". I think it is worth to mention in the lead, that he was the "longest serving" at that time, details of from/to could be unnecessary details which could be in a note eg. as: "From Utah governor Gary Herbert's retirement on January 4, 2021, until he resigned on August 23, 2021, he was the longest tenured governor still in position, serving 3887 days." It is connecting to the facts as written before about his fathers long service. JSoos (talk) 18:54, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

How about just moving some of the detail out of the lead section, as I did in this edit? —⁠ ⁠BarrelProof (talk) 19:54, 10 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]

That is fine for me. JSoos (talk) 09:12, 11 March 2022 (UTC)[reply]
