Talk:Strom Thurmond filibuster of the Civil Rights Act of 1957

On the FAC archive
When systematic issues with the source–text integrity are found, the only solution is to re-check all the references to make sure that verifiability is maintained. (For example, I did this here). This is usually a time consuming process, but if you're able to complete it within 14 days the waiting period can be waived. (t &#183; c)  buidhe  04:38, 7 March 2022 (UTC)

Inclusion of political party
Several recent edits have placed the fact that Thurmond was a Democrat at the time of the filibuster more prominently in the lede of the article. This is already stated near the end of the Background section and frankly I don't think it's particularly relevant to the article, but if folks have other opinions we ought to follow consensus. Pinging, (GA Reviewer), and  as editors who have connections to the article. AviationFreak💬 20:43, 15 May 2022 (UTC)
 * The lead section is supposed to be a summary of the article and provide important information about the article (WP:LEAD). The fact that he was a senator from South Carolina (a southern state), I think, is enough for the lead. Moreover, it was Thurmond's filibuster, not endorsed/helped by Democratic Party. The group of Democratic Southern senators explicitly were against an organised filibuster, and criticized Thurmond's effort. I know that party affiliation is a major detail, and should be definitely mentioned in the body, but I am concerned that putting it so early in the lead would maybe mislead the reader (since today, filibusters are organised by many members of the same party in a partisan way). And just for the note, Thurmond became a Republican in 1964. So I don't think we should be mentioning it in the lead. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 04:37, 16 May 2022 (UTC)

Add Wikisource to infobox
As an example, look at the last items of the infobox in the Cheesecake article. Could this be done for the Wikisource article here as well? Seems better to have this in a single infobox instead of two. I have linked the two items on Wikidata, but not sure how this is done normally. PhotographyEdits (talk) 16:37, 29 August 2022 (UTC)
 * I just did it. Others will have to decide which one they prefer.  Madeline  ( part of me ) 17:01, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Child
Shouldn't it be noted that at the time he was arguing forcefully against rights for African American's Thurmond had an illegitimate black daughter (Essie Mae Washington-Williams) who by that time was 22 years old? Remember (talk) 18:34, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Dixiecrate
There is no mention that Strom Thurmond was well known as a Dixiecrat that had run on segregationist platform in 1948 for President of the United States. This should be included as well for context about Thurmond as a politician. Remember (talk) 18:48, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

Title
The current title contains the word "of" twice. I do not like that, does anyone have any opinions on that? PhotographyEdits (talk) 19:39, 29 August 2022 (UTC)

I’m unusually sensitive to tiny details like this; I like how “1957” is properly set in oldstyle figures. But this isn’t worth moving the article for. Visually, to me, “Strom Thurmond filibuster of the 1957 Civil Rights Act” separates “Civil Rights Act” from its “the”. I do think it should be “Thurmond’s”, but the current title is probably consistent with practice on Wikipedia. Roches (talk) 10:00, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Text of the filibuster
The article should include a link to the text of the filibuster under “Further reading” so that people can see exactly what Strom Thurmond said when he talked for over 24 hours when he knew the Civil Rights Act was going to pass and he knew his racist credentials were strong enough to get him re-elected without the filibuster. Since this is a GA/FA, I think this is better left to someone familiar with the article. Roches (talk) 10:06, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * It's already linked in the infobox.  Madeline  ( part of me ) 13:37, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
