Thoughts on FA

[edit]

@Informant16, ExcellentWheatFarmer, and BrownHairedGirl: since you guys are the main editors, have you thought about bringing it to Featured Article status and have it appear as WP:TFA for his 100th birthday? 750h+ 06:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 1 June 2024

[edit]

Please remove the claim that "his name recognition was two percent" as the reference does not back that and I cannot find an alternate source that says 2 percent (there are some that say 1 percent[1] and some that say 5 to 6[2]).

If one wants to keep the gist that his name recognition was very low change the sentence to something like " His name recognition was quite low, with his opponents derisively asking "Jimmy Who?" "

Also, the archive link seems to be down for the citation? I'm seeing: "Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine." when I click it. GrapesRock (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Done for the moment. Professor Penguino (talk) 03:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Place "Carter is the most recent Democrat president to have served in the military" as the last sentence in Naval Career section. Sean 2015 (talk) 13:22, 19 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Without offering an opinion as to whether or not this is warranted in the article, the adjective form is "Democratic", not "Democrat," and should be used if this suggestion is implemented. PianoDan (talk) 22:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
 Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Left guide (talk) 06:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Typo edit request

[edit]

Under post presidency, 4th paragraph in the diplomacy section, there's a bit that reads "...while saying he was supported the country" if someone could fix that would be great. Scramblescram (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I removed the word "was". DanCherek (talk) 15:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

More pics?

[edit]

Isn't there any free picture(s) from Carter's childhood, adolescence, and youth to use in this GA article? Cf. especially other contemporary US presidents and also Carter's wife Rosalynn Carter. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 06:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

his death?

[edit]

I've seen reports that he has passed. Any confirmation? Hector770 (talk) 15:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Multiple reports, however still unconfirmed by major national or international news sources, but that could change quickly either way. --VVikingTalkEdits 15:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The post circulating was intentionally faked and designed as a social experiment. Jimmy Carter is still alive and is in hospice care. James G Thorn (talk) 15:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
At least one local ABC affiliate picked it up, realized their mistake, and took it down. Wild times, innit? Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 15:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@James G Thorn ya I just saw that. Hector770 (talk) 15:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Nope,[1] a similar thing happened to Noam Chomsky about a month ago. Maurnxiao (talk) 17:23, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
