@Augenis and Editorius124: Getting mixed signals on this. Several articles have been updated to reflect Paluckas as PM, e.g. Lithuania, Prime Minister of Lithuania, etc. I'll take the blame for updating the first sentence of the Paluckas article, but I was doing so in accordance with the infobox that someone else had already updated.
I notice that on the Ingrida Šimonytė article that start date for her PM term is given as the date the Šimonytė Cabinet was confirmed. By contrast, the Paluckas Cabinet has yet to be formed. lt:Lietuvos ministras pirmininkas handles this by distinguishing between "Laikinoji ministrė pirmininkė Ingrida Šimonytė" and "Paskirtasis ministras pirmininkas Gintautas Paluckas". Maybe we need to make a similar distinction between "Acting"/"Provisional" and "Appointed" prime ministers or something like that. 98.170.164.88 (talk) 04:53, 22 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Looking at the history of the Ingrida Šimonytė article in November 2020, when she was in the same situation as Paluckas right now, she was referred to as prime minister-designate of Lithuania, which seems to me like the correct option here, at least until Paluckas is confifmed.

I'm not really sure what the controversy is supposed to be, and I've looked at the source. I would propose removing it or at least cutting it down to just the first sentence. Maybe I'm missing something though. 98.170.164.88 (talk) 16:33, 24 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
