Wookieepedia &gt; Senate Hall &gt; 

Having edited several succession boxes today (during my quest to add information about President/Prime Minister titles retconned in Tempest) I've noticed that the word "Incumbent" is used in them quite frequently (for example Releqy A'Kla's succession box for Senator of Quence Sector). There are also dates listed as "xx ABY - Present" (for example after Releqy A'Kla in the list of Ministers of State. This obviously assumes that the reader assumes the "Present" is the time as of the release of the most recent Legacy of the Force novel- which is ridiculous since we write articles about the Star Wars: Legacy comics in the past tense. Is there a discussed standard for what should be written instead, or do we consider these exceptions (which I don't believe we should) or has anyone else noticed? Solution?
