War crimes material

There was some back and forth over recently added "material" to the lead about war crimes and lies, ect. Can this please be discussed here? Thank you, --Malerooster (talk) 22:00, 5 May 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Acting President of the United States

Should Acting President of the United States be included in the infobox for this article? -- Sleyece (talk) 01:00, 17 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Not in the way you tried it. GoodDay (talk) 23:13, 23 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
GoodDay, so you agree that the change needs to be made? Can I count that comment as Support? -- Sleyece (talk) 14:27, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
If you could re-create the infobox here & the infobox of Bush (at that article), I'd show you what I mean. GoodDay (talk) 14:55, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
-- Sleyece (talk) 20:55, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I don't think that four hours and twenty minutes are really noteworthy enough for inclusion. During this time, Cheney wrote his grandchildren a letter and apparently did not do much else. Template:Infobox person advises against "inserting dubious trivia in an attempt to fill all parameters."-Ich (talk) 21:48, 24 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

See the second infobox: Here's my proposal for adding acting president. GoodDay (talk) 02:13, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

I still think it'd be disqualified as trivia, but re: the formatting Wikipedia:Manual of Style/Accessibility#Font size states "Avoid using smaller font sizes in elements that already use a smaller font size, such as infoboxes, navboxes, and reference sections." I'd still favor leaving it out.-Ich (talk) 09:07, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No prob. My first option is for leaving it out, too. GoodDay (talk) 12:36, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
These two may have been AP for a day or less at a time, but they had the power to start a Nuclear Winter during those times. That undoubtedly elevates it to Encyclopedic content and Infobox worthiness. -- Sleyece (talk) 13:55, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
While the fact that Dick Cheney Served briefly on 2 occasions as acting president is noteworthy is noted in the body of this article, its infobox worthiness is, IMO, doubtful. Note, for example, that his official Congressional biography doesn't mention it. Drdpw (talk) 01:06, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
Two hours as Acting President is One hour and 59 minutes longer than it would take to start WWIII -- Sleyece (talk) 01:16, 30 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Oppose. The very short time Cheney spent as acting president during which he apparently did nothing of note has little relevance, if any, to his biography. Maybe mention it in the text, but there is no reason to clutter the infobox with this trivia. Deli nk (talk) 16:03, 25 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment Since the U.S. Civil War didn't end with the destruction of the United States and/or the Earth, should all of the articles related to it be nominated for deletion? (I'm just trying to employ your logic here) -- Sleyece (talk) 14:02, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
You are failing badly. Deli nk (talk) 14:14, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
I'm not failing at all. My goal is to build an encyclopedia and a consensus. I am still accomplishing my goal no matter which way this goes. -- Sleyece (talk) 22:41, 26 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
No, it's not okay for you to go ahead and make the change, as consensus to do so does not exist. Drdpw (talk) 00:07, 29 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
  • Comment: Sleyece, multiple editors, including myself, have expressed doubts concerning whether the cumulative few hours that Cheney spent as acting president are really noteworthy enough to warrant inclusion in the infobox.

Well, I don't have to build a case for it's inclusion because it's already part of the article. As far as the infobox goes, there is 1 Support and 1 oppose at this time. -- Sleyece (talk) 13:43, 1 November 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Bill Bailey typo

It should read

Elections In 1978, Cheney was elected to represent Wyoming in the U.S. House of Representatives and succeeded retiring Democratic Congressman Teno Roncalio, having defeated his Democratic opponent, Bill Bagley. Cheney was re-elected five times, serving until 1989. Wyoming people (talk) 04:41, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Indeed. Thanks! So corrected. (Name verified in contemporary newspapers). - Nunh-huh 07:35, 18 October 2018 (UTC)[reply]
