Wiki-usable photo of Markwayne's new appearance?

Noticed article has outdated photo. Markwayne was interviewed on today's Cuomo Prime Time and had a beard. (example of beard in Markwayne's Twitter: https://twitter.com/RepMullin/status/1186816575892066305 ) Anyone have a photo (with Wikipedia-appropriate license) of Markwayne's new appearance? --EarthFurst (talk) 05:33, 29 October 2019 (UTC)

No matter how hard some try to push it in this direction, Wikipedia is not a current events site, so such a request is irrelevant. If you really want to go there, however, investigate why so many members of Congress publish photos under claim of copyright that are actually original works of the U.S. government and therefore public domain. It would make obtaining such material a whole lot easier, I would think. RadioKAOS / Talk to me, Billy / Transmissions 00:55, 31 October 2019 (UTC)

Personal Life Section.

Citations were added and information was moved to footnote.TulsaPoliticsFan (talk) 01:03, 26 April 2023 (UTC)

I was reading the article and noticed that in the personal life section, it lists him as being enrolled in the Cherokee tribe (although it needs citation). I'll have to research that claim further but I noticed it listed all the other members of the 117th congress. This list also included Deb Haaland, whom, as of writing this, is the current secretary of the interior (which the article also notes).

If the article is going to list the 3 current serving Native American members of congress, I think it should be in the form of a footnote. The information is somewhat relevant to the article but I think adding it in the form of a footnote will make it easier to read.

The footnote should read "the other current serving members are Tom Cole, Sharice Davids, and Yvette Herrell." (If it needs to be edited for clarity, I'm perfectly happy with that.)

I ask because I don't know how to add footnotes like this → [a]. When you scroll over [a], it shows more information like "this was referencing to the then popular internet meme nyan cat" (or something like that).

Side Note: While I was typing this, I looked up the article "List of Native Americans in the United States Congress" and saw Mullin on there. No citation on it I can use here though. *Sad Wikipedia editor noises :(*

@Lord-of-Midnight-18: I have found and added a source for the Cherokee enrollment. Per this article at High Country News: "Mullin and I are both citizens of the Cherokee Nation". There's also this one at Indian Country Today, which states in reference to Mullin: "Since then, the Stilwell, Oklahoma, native and Cherokee Nation citizen has swamped three straight opponents in the district", this one at The Oklahoman that starts with: "U.S. Rep. Markwayne Mullin, the only Cherokee Nation citizen in Congress", or this one from Tulsa World that states: "Mullin, the owner and CEO of Mullin Plumbing and its subsidiaries, is a registered member of the Cherokee Nation and because of that his company qualifies to receive preferential treatment during the bid process through the Nation's Tribal Employment Rights Office". I just added the first one, but it looks like the claim is backed up by reliable sources.PohranicniStraze (talk) 06:07, 1 September 2021 (UTC)

@PohranicniStraze: Thank you for adding the source. I highly appreciate it. I was also looking to add footnotes to the page, the ones that look like [a] and provide extra information when you scroll over them. Do you know how to add those in? I was thinking about adding a footnote saying "the other current serving members are Tom Cole, Sharice Davids, and Yvette Herrell" (I'll probably rewrite that to make a bit more sense). I feel the personal life section is a bit padded with this information and can be easily put into footnote form. I'll also probably remove the part about Deb Haaland becoming Secretary of the Interior since it's also irrelevant to the page. Thank you for the help again :) Lord-of-Midnight-18 (talk) 20:28, 1 September 2021 (UTC) Lord-of-Midnight-18
