Splitting sections into term-limited and retiring
I don't want to cause an edit war, so I'm going to discuss your edits here. I saw you split the incumbents' sections into term-limited and retiring. In my original edits, I decided to keep the two sections merged into one because there is only one incumbent that is actually retiring due to non-term limit reasons. You disagreed, stating that there is No point putting "retiring due to term limits" after every person's name when you can just have a separate section.

I'm not sure I fully understand your statement, so I'm asking you to clarify. Thanks.  RONIN  TALK   23:49, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Having a separate section means you can just listed the names of term-limited incumbents rather than having to add "was term-limited" after all their names. That being said, I don't really care. BottleOfChocolateMilk (talk) 23:54, 18 April 2024 (UTC)
 * That makes sense. There's not many incumbents that are actually leaving the legislature so I don't really see the point in having a separate section yet. But if you are adamant on leaving it as two sections, I could leave it as is.  RONIN  TALK   00:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * If I may, one aspect I wanted to comment on was the map. I think the caption is too cumbersome, with "incumbent term-limited/retiring" being a kinda large caption, it seems to me like it'd be better to just list it as "retiring" because that's what they're doing. Term-limits are a reason they are retiring, or not running for office in that election, not something separate from retiring from office. Talthiel (talk) 01:10, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Good point. I've gone ahead and shortened the captions.  RONIN  TALK   04:00, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
 * Another suggestion, similar to Bottle's above, I think the list of retiring/term-limited candidates should be sorted alphabetically as opposed to by district number, but that might just be a preference thing. Talthiel (talk) 15:17, 19 April 2024 (UTC)
