Error in number of mayors in cited references
[edit]When redoing to whole page for the St. Petersburg Mayor, I found that the official city website had all the past mayors in the Government tab. However when making the list for the mayors there were 75 mayors (note this includes mayors that have had more than three terms before they changed to a strong mayor leadership, which is the current article format) in total. Even if you subtracted those mayors names that have served as the mayor more than one term you get 48 mayors in total which is under the number for current mayors in St. Pete (checked twice to make sure). Also when searching for a Bill Foster link to help date the exact term started and ended for him the Tampa Bay Times website stated that Bill Foster was the 53rd mayor, while currently Rick Kirseman is the 53rd mayor on the St. Pete official website. I don't know if this is a whole mix up with the number on mayors, a typo by one or both websites, or just me not understanding. But if someone could clarify that would be helpful.
