Talk:Richard Nixon 1968 presidential campaign

A few comments
I saw your note on Happyme22's talk page. A few points:


 * Neither the bumper sticker nor the photograph of Eisenhower and Nixon at Wheeling are free use. You are going to have to work very hard to come up with a fair use rationale for the Wheeling photo.  If you look in the Senate article, there is the NPS photo of Nixon campaigning, you might want to use that instead.  And find a "Nixon's the One" campaign button to photograph?  Unhappily, the only Nixon button I own is from '62 so ... Also I saw some utterly amazing photos from the Nixon campaign in the National Archives, some might be online and free use.  If you're seeking to promote this article, start with free use and use fair use only if you have to.


 * You are relying mostly on periodical articles. You might want to read a couple of the books.  Aitken's bio of Nixon talks quite a lot about how he built his political team at his NY law firm, and used the 1966 congressional elections and his foreign trips as a springboard to raise his profile.  This is an article about the campaign, not the election, I'd use the leeway you have because of that to discuss the who and how of Nixon assembling his team.  Read that portion of his memoirs too.  And Volume 2 of Ambrose is fairly decent.

I'll put in more later if I get some time.--Wehwalt (talk) 16:23, 18 November 2009 (UTC)

Vietnam peace talks disruption
Should this article and Richard Nixon 1968 presidential campaign not include SOME mention that notes indicate Nixon, as part of his campaign, was involved in an effort to interfere in Vietnam peace talks Johnson was having ahead of the 1968 presidential election. It is HIGHLY notable and well-sourced, and already included in Richard Nixon and Paris Peace Accords. I might be mistaken, but it does not appear to be in this article
