 * According to the protection log it was increased from semi protection in December 2023 due to "death hoax edits" which is reflected by the article history and many of the talk page edit requests that were made since the protection was increased. - Aoidh (talk) 04:12, 2 May 2024 (UTC)

change "Carter speaks on the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan. Recorded January 4, 1980" to "Carter speaks on the Iran Hostage Crisis. Recoded January 4, 1980" 182.255.32.12 (talk) 10:02, 11 May 2024 (UTC)
 * Red information icon with gradient background.svg Not done: He only speaks about the Iran Hostage Crisis at the start. The bulk of the speech, starting from about 1:16, is about the Soviet Invasion of Afghanistan. The title of the speech itself in the archives is also "January 4, 1980: Speech on Afghanistan".

Thoughts on FA
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)

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 and some that say 5 to 6 ).

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)

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)


 * 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)

Typo edit request
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)


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

More pics?
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)
