Talk:Mayor of St. Louis

How many mayors?
The St. Louis Public Library says there have been 49 mayors in St. Louis. Mayor Francis Slay's own website says he is the 45th mayor.  Who's right? --Millbrooky (talk) 22:38, 10 June 2008 (UTC)

Questions
I'm trying to get this list to FL status, but there are a few exact dates and date ranges that still elude me. Anybody know of any sources that fill in this information? Any help would be greatly appreciated. --Millbrooky (talk) 17:36, 9 September 2008 (UTC)
 * When was Clarence Harmon born?
 * Did anybody act as mayor between John Fletcher Darby's resignation and William Carr Lane's election?
 * When did Chauncey Filley resign? Did James S. Thomas become mayor immediately following C. Filley's resignation or was there an interim acting mayor?
 * Did anybody act as mayor between Arthur Barret's death and James H. Britton's election?
 * When was James H. Britton inaugurated as mayor?
 * What were the full names of the two acting mayors, Primm and Rechtin?


 * Hmm, almost immediately after asking for help, I found a great source for looking up old newspapers and found most of my answers. Some questions still remain. --Millbrooky (talk) 05:38, 10 September 2008 (UTC)

Concerns about numbering scheme
Hello all,

I have some concerns about the numbering scheme currently used in the article. As it stands, mayors who held two nonconsecutive terms, of whom there are four, are not given another number in the order for their nonconsecutive term. (Example: William Carr Lane, who served as the 1st mayor, again served after 4th mayor John Fletcher Darby, where he's labeled as... 1st mayor. Darby then served AGAIN, and the man after him, John D. Daggett, is listed as the 5th.) For most offices, this isn't usually how it's done: see the FAs Mayor of San Francisco (Charles James Brenham) and of course Grover Cleveland, the POTUS we know and love. The impact of this is, in this case, pretty severe: Tishaura Jones ends up not being the 47th mayor but instead the 51st. I didn't want to make any change to it yet, so I'm leaving this here to hear other peoples' thoughts. Thanks. AllegedlyHuman (talk) 09:09, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
