Hi Derrick, I think it's vain to ask yourself if some concept "deserves" an item. It does not make much sense. There is much more value in the regularity in how we express the same kind of data : this makes really much simpler to develop tools and to help newbies on how to do things if we decide one way on expressing that somebody is the mayor of somewhere and stick to it.

It does crop up in many places.. What you see is not the Reasonator
per-se it
is the script used to generate a text. Compare it with the results in
most
other languages, you will not see this text.
That's fair. In that case the script to generate the text should be modified.
Arguably Reasonator expects a different pattern. You make him mayor..
while
Reasonator expects him to have "office held" "mayor of Frederick".
Compare
Ronald Reagan where you find qualifiers for start and end date..
For a while I was actually using "Mayor of Frederick" as the position held. You can find that item as Q17167581, but I nominated it for deletion once I discovered the of qualifier. The position is itself not really noteworthy enough to merits its own item, (like President of the United States or Mayor of New York City are) and because we have the Of qualifier I said, why not use it.
Where does one submit bugs for Reasonator, or is this list a good spot to do so?
Thank you, Derric Atzrott
