@CJCurrie: What do the (x)s mean? I've seen these on a few articles but they aren't in a legend anywhere I could find. -- Beland (talk) 16:32, 16 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]

It means "incumbent." Various guides and media reports use this as shorthand. I used it extensively when I started on Wikipedia, but I find that it causes confusion and I stopped doing it a while ago. CJCurrie (talk) 01:45, 17 June 2020 (UTC)[reply]
Aha, thanks! I'll clarify the articles. -- Beland (talk) 01:04, 12 January 2023 (UTC)[reply]
