Talk:List of premiers of British Columbia

Top image
Until Clark's resignation takes effect & Horgan is sworn in, the top image should remain Christy Clark. This article is about the list of BC premiers, of which Horgan hasn't become, yet. GoodDay (talk) 19:11, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * No. Horgan is the Premier-designate. Clark has resigned and the LGG has accepted that resignation. Clark would only make a decision if a catastrophe were to take place.

 * The image should stay. Walter Görlitz (talk) 19:18, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * I know he's the premier-designate. But, his image shouldn't be there, until he becomes premier. There's no rush. A compromise, would be to have both Clark & Horgan show. One as premier, the other as premier-designate. GoodDay (talk) 19:26, 30 June 2017 (UTC)
 * That is an excellent solution IMO. Walter Görlitz (talk) 20:03, 30 June 2017 (UTC)

Numbering
I count 35 premiers (George Anthony Walkem has been twice). On other lists the numbering is unique (List of premiers of Prince Edward Island). Is there a reliable source confirming that John Horgan is the 36th Premier of British Columbia ? --YB ✍ 13:37, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * WP:CALC. Walter Görlitz (talk) 16:56, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * Unfortunately, WP:CALC might not apply here because our source is being weird. In every other province, when a premier serves non-consecutive terms the list of premiers follows the example of the federal government and only counts them once. But for some reason, lists of premiers published by the BC Legislature Library follow the American format of counting them twice. Thus, George Anthony Walkem is both the 3rd and 5th premier. Publications acknowledge that they are doing this, but don't say why (see the 2nd paragraph of the 2nd page of this). I'd like to have our numbering system consistent across Canadian articles, but we might have to use the American numbering system for BC if it is "official". I guess the question is whether the person running the BC Legislature Library has the power to make their preferred numbering official. —Arctic Gnome (talk • contribs) 23:11, 21 November 2019 (UTC)
 * FYI, This is also the case for New Brunswick: George Edwin King is counted as 2nd and 4th Premier. — Kawnhr (talk)
 * Some sources calling Horgan the "36th premier": 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6. The man himself says it, too. In fact, all the results I found for "john horgan 35th premier" were actually of articles that also mentioned his predecessor, Christy Clark. — Kawnhr (talk)
