Talk:Millard Fillmore

small issue

 * 1) ref name="pre president", the author of this article is listed as Gerald Bahles, but I can't found this name anywhere at that link or any archive I could locate on web.archive.org, perhaps just change that name to Michael Holt?--Jarodalien (talk) 07:54, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I've cut the name, since he is listed as contributing editor, and if you click on "CITE THIS" on that page, the suggested citation does not list him as author.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:01, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * OK thanks. and, this link have nothing to do with the book.--Jarodalien (talk) 12:09, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "In addition to his legal practice, Fillmore helped found the Buffalo High School Association, joined the lyceum and attended the local Unitarian church; he became a leading citizen of Buffalo." Is this "lyceum" means "Lyceum movement"?--Jarodalien (talk) 14:09, 5 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I need to look at these and it may be a day or two.--Wehwalt (talk) 04:45, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * Maybe is the best to add a footnote at first paragraph of section "Vice president (1849–1850)".--Jarodalien (talk) 07:49, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * It looks like someone split the paragraph without adjusting the citation. Fixed.--Wehwalt (talk) 09:06, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
 * "Among these were the Buffalo Historical Society ..." I can't find anything to support that he had sponsored Buffalo Historical Society.--Jarodalien (talk) 05:45, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * User:Wehwalt, which year is it? "...where a replica log cabin was dedicated in 1963 by the Millard Fillmore Memorial Association", "...but in 1965 the Millard Fillmore Memorial Association, using materials from a similar cabin, constructed a replica".--Jarodalien (talk) 08:07, 7 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I will get to these this afternoon. I've been traveling and am catching up.--Wehwalt (talk) 14:06, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * No hurry, I just thought you didn't noticed this because multiple edit on the article side.--Jarodalien (talk) 16:17, 8 October 2020 (UTC)
 * I think I've gotten all of them.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:08, 8 October 2020 (UTC)

"byline" should be "byword" — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2601:184:4700:5830:75EB:83C1:8A92:5BFA (talk) 00:44, 6 December 2022 (UTC)

Info box image
I think the current image that doesn’t have a known date or artist. Should be replaced my a photo taken by Brady. With known artist and date.

 * Disagree, unless proposed image is cropped. We don't need to see that he's sitting on a chair. GoodDay (talk) 01:20, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Maybe you don’t appreciate seeing the entirety of the photo but others do. I always appreciate seeing the whole photo instead of a photo cropped so you just see there face. Just seeing a face is nothing special but seeing the entire image looks much better. Orson12345 (talk) 01:24, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * Best to let others weigh in, since we're never going to agree on the proposed image. GoodDay (talk) 01:39, 17 February 2022 (UTC)


 * Agreed. Orson12345 (talk) 01:52, 17 February 2022 (UTC)
 * I think a portrait is better than the chair at a thumbnail size. Is the portrait really with artist unknown? That surprises me given the amount of presidential research done. My concern there would be provable copyright status.--Wehwalt (talk) 11:07, 17 February 2022 (UTC)

missing office
this page doesn't list Millard Fillmore's 4 years in office as a member of the New York State Assembly. I feel like that should be listed under his profile photo. Jensenjeffersonchris (talk) 06:16, 31 July 2022 (UTC)
 * We try to keep the infoboxes from growing too long but Fillmore's isn't that bad compared to some other presidents who held many offices and we therefore omit the relatively minor ones. If someone did the research and found out Fillmore's exact dates of service, which district, and who preceded him and succeeded him in that district, I don't think there would be any objection to adding it.--Wehwalt (talk) 12:48, 31 July 2022 (UTC)

Legacy and historical view is out of date
Please update this section. The University at Buffalo removed references to Fillmore three years ago. We no longer have a Millard Fillmore College (closed years ago!) and renamed Millard Fillmore Academic Center to simply Academic Center. I suggest you simply remove the entire sentence and related references, but at least put them in past tense. Thanks!
