Talk:Jefferson Davis/Archive 3

Presidential library link
Thoughts on removing the "presidential library" link in the infobox? Unlike the actual US presidents, it's not run by the US government, rather by the Sons of Confederate Veterans, and is openly supportive of the Lost Cause myth, which I understand we're trying to dial back on in in the FA review.

 * Krisgabwoosh, I think your point is well-taken, and I deleted the link from the infobox. Wtfiv (talk) 02:28, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Not particular objections from me, either. I'm largely of the opinion that such links are infobox clutter in presidential aritcles as well, and should be relegated to the externals links. FWIW, this is the only presidential library my parents took me to as a kid. Hog Farm Talk 02:31, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

Image of "Improved" version of Davis Statue
I moved the "improved" version of the Davis Statue to the List of memorials to Jefferson Davis article, where it fits in with the memorials. If you think an image of one of the "improved" statues should go here, we could perhaps replace the gravesite statue with a close-up of an example, like the pulled-down Richmond statue.

 * I see your message only now. An image should be put that illustrates how controversial these memorials are. If you have something better, go for it, but it should be included. Synotia (moan) 11:18, 12 February 2023 (UTC)
 * Almost 2 months have passed and you haven't proposed something new so I'll just put it back Synotia (moan) 12:57, 6 April 2023 (UTC)
 * My own feeling is that I don't think it belongs here as this is about Davis and not his monuments. The image was added to images. I don't have anything better to add, but still don't think this one should go here.  Let's see if others weigh in. Wtfiv (talk) 02:24, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * this is about Davis and not his monuments
 * Is it vandalized just because they don't like the statue's design? Synotia (moan) 08:05, 7 April 2023 (UTC)
 * Of course not, but the memorials article is where the focus of where the responses to his memorialization in public spaces lies. And that article more directly addresses the image. Wtfiv (talk) 23:40, 7 April 2023 (UTC)

and a number of the memorials created in his honor throughout the country have been removed.
it should say throughout the United States, not every reader is thinking of your country as "the country" lmao 2A00:801:79A:DD76:B869:953:2568:803F (talk) 13:25, 28 May 2023 (UTC)

Hyperlink to Franklin Pierce is wrong and year is wrong
See the intro: The hyperlink to president pierce is linked to the tv show MASH. It also says thatvhsi administration ended in 1847 instead of 1857 2603:7000:44F0:62C0:98BD:B691:21E3:8323 (talk) 08:09, 1 July 2023 (UTC)
