Patnaik's term[edit]

@Magentic Manifestations: In my opinion Patnaik's term of 24 years is important. He is stepping in huge shoes. Just short of ~60+ days and Patnaik would have been longest serving CM of India. Why do you not want to keep that information? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 11:10, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@Dharmadhyaksha While this is highly relevant say for the article on Chief Minister of Odisha or Naveen Patnaik, I think it is a stretch to mention it here in the context. In my opinion, whether NP was there for 24 days or years is irrelevant from the context of Majhi becoming CM and "Stepping into huge shoes" is subjective. If you want to bring in this point to probably show how rare is to become the CM of Odisha, given that the same person was there for so long, it can be copy edited to say that, "Majhi became the CM.... replacing NP, who held the position since xxxx". This would bring about the fact that he was continuously holding it for the past so many years, so as to prove that rarity of the occurrence. Thanks!

I don't mind adding it as per your proposed words.
So your objection was only on mentioning 24 years; but it's ok if readers have to do the math? §§Dharmadhyaksha§§ {Talk / Edits} 13:23, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

My objection was not that. As per the earlier words, it specified that NP was CM for 24 years but not continuously for the past 24 years. As I had explained in my previous post, it tends to convey different context. Hence, "past" is the keyword here which implies continuously past period and not mentioning 24 years. So, it can be since xxxx or past 24 years, or can be both (for the past x years since xxxx). Magentic Manifestations (talk) 14:53, 13 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
