Question

Is there a reason for the cutoff being at 1500? Not attempting to change things (well, not seriously: I have more important fish to fry than to argue for an earlier cutoff), but IMHO it would prevent squabbles in the future if there were a statement to the effect "Only governors of colonies & territories after XXXX year are included based on the consensus at [insert page here]." -- llywrch (talk) 15:31, 8 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]
