Talk:David Cameron

Edit Request: Date typo
In the Foreign Secretary section, there is a typo which has Cameron raised to the peerage in 2013, not 2023. Please address. 64.30.93.144 (talk) 01:21, 14 April 2024 (UTC)

Lead picture
Now the Tories are out of government and he is no longer Foreign Secretary we might as well return the lead picture to being his Prime Minister portrait from 2010 as that's the highest ranking job he's had, what he's best known for and him as Foreign Secretary isn't current anymore 92.239.82.188 (talk) 11:15, 7 July 2024 (UTC)


 * It's a perfectly high-quality portrait. There's no reason to change it back to one from 14 years ago. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 06:55, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Personally, I think the Cameron 2010 Portrait is such bad quality (very weird lighting, odd facial expression), that it'd be better to keep the Foreign Secretary Portrait, which is better in all the aforementioned regards FredMcKinley (talk) 21:44, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Agree with both of the above. --ThingsCanOnlyGetWetter (talk) 22:13, 8 July 2024 (UTC)
 * Disagree with the three above, it is standard practice for very notable individuals to use a picture taken during the time they were in such a noteworthy position, including if they had served in an office following their tenure. Take former Vice President Walter Mondale for example, he was Vice President in the 70s but later served as ambassador in the 90s with an updated portrait, however that portrait isn't in the lead and instead is in the section about him serving as ambassador. The same should be done for Cameron, as his foreign secretary portrait is him over a decade older than his official portrait. TheFellaVB (talk) 20:43, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * No, it's standard to use the latest high-quality portrait available of living persons. &#8209;&#8209;Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:41, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
 * I think the difference between Mondale and Cameron is that Cameron's portrait is (in my opinion) atrocious, while Mondale's isn't. As for precedents, Ted Heath's picture is from 1987, even though he was last Prime Minister around 20 years prior in 1974 and there are lower quality pictures available to use FredMcKinley (talk) 23:58, 9 July 2024 (UTC)
