[edit] Lord Mayor
In 1998, Ansip was elected as Lord Mayor of Tartu as a candidate of the /.../
i myself don't know how to do it, but someone please change the "Lord Mayor" part to "mayor". the Estonian "linnapea" is translated "mayor" and not "Lord Mayor". [1]
edit: in addition to my previous comment, there is another "Lord Mayor" in this article which should also be changed to "mayor". it's where Edgar Savisaar is mentioned.
- This comment is not really correct, or at least ambiguous. The mayors of the large, semi-independent cities in Estonia are best referred to as Lord Mayor, not just as Mayor. They are styled the one way or the other, but arguments can be found for both. Clossius 08:42, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- In responce, on the CV for both men from the Riigikogu has the tile of that post, in the english edition, as mayor, as well as the Tartu city web site refers to the position as mayor. I think its more along the lines of how the jusridiction wants to title the position, the only country i know of where it vaires is in Ireland, where their are several cities that have Lord Mayors and several that have Maoyrs, but in all relaity it's the say position in all, thei higest elected represenative of a city. But i figure if thats whats on the CV and thats what the city in guestion refers to the position as then we ought to keep it the same on here. Just my take. --Boothy443 | comhrÚ 08:48, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- Plenty of countries make a functional difference (this has something to do with the level of independence of the city), and certainly Germany does, after which the institutions of the Estonian kohalik omavalitsus were historically designed, as they are now. I've heard and seen both Ansip and Savisaar referred to as either. But as long as it makes people happy to call them Mayor, so be it. Clossius 08:53, 18 Apr 2005 (UTC)

- The question would then only be what the functionally correct one would be. But then, it's really not such a big deal. Clossius

I don't really see how the "related story" is related to the article about Andrus Ansip and I strongly recommend to delete it. It's supposed to be an encyclopedia, not a tabloid.
