Talk:List of presidents of Costa Rica

Untitled
As Costa Rica was part of the nation of Central America til c. 1838 or '39 (I'd have to check the date), those earlier on the list must be heads of state of the state of Costa Rica within the United States of Central America. The current statement saying it's "presidents who have ruled Costa Rica since independence" needs to be modified. -- Infrogmation 03:59, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)
 * I think it's clear enough now. -- Infrogmation 04:07, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Yes, spot on. I had made the distinction in the table listings (the two separate blue header bars in the table), but it needed doing in the intro text too. Thanks! –Hajor 04:14, 22 Jan 2004 (UTC)

Morazan
I think Morazan should be listed as "executed" rather than "executed/assassinated." Regardless of one's views on the legitimacy of the proceedings, he was killed by a firing squad after arrest and trial. -- User:Eb.Hoop 10:15 17 Oct 2004 (UTC)

Terms
It appears that the term of office is four years from the dates given, and that consecutive terms aren't permitted. If this is true, it should be added to the article.

Rodrigo Carazo Odio 1978-1982

This president came to power through a coalition movement. Partido Coalicion Unidad, and not the PUSC as listed. The Foreing Minister from carazo´s goverment Rafael Angel Calderon, founded the PUSC 4 years later and came to power 2 terms later.

PUSC is now one of the parties with the least respct and is quite questioned due to all recent corruption scandals and it may be destined to dissapear from the political arena.

– – Per Wikipedia's MOS:JOBTITLES: "Offices, titles, and positions such as president, king, emperor, grand duke, lord mayor, pope, bishop, abbot, chief financial officer, and executive director are common nouns and therefore should be in lower case when used generically. They are capitalized... when a formal title for a specific entity... is not plural." This Wikipedia guideline reflects major style guides such as AP Stylebook and The Chicago Manual of Style, which explicitly state that "presidents" (plural) should always be lower case and that "president" (singular) should be upper case only when preceding a president's name.

 * Strong support: per MOS:JOBTITLES and other relevant style guides, "presidents" should be lowercase in these examples. No reason that the article title shouldn't reflect the correct capitalization. — Eyer (If you reply, add   to your message to let me know.) 18:23, 27 July 2019 (UTC)
