Photo
Why is there no photo? Here's an article with a photo courtesy of Wikipedia? Go figure. —Preceding unsigned comment added by The Founders Intent (talk • contribs) 01:48, 17 December 2007 (UTC)

Quotes
Are the quotes really necessary? It seems unencyclopedic to include them as part of the article. Any objections to removing them? -- OlEnglish (Talk) 02:22, 13 May 2009 (UTC)
 * In fact, they should be moved to WikiQuote then linked from here. -- OlEnglish (Talk) 08:24, 22 May 2009 (UTC)

 * I will try and add it back. If it gets reverted, it should be discussed here. I fixed the format in this section as well.--Canoe1967 (talk) 13:03, 22 May 2012 (UTC)

Why is the date format for this article set to dmy?
Based on the facts that the subject is American and that the first non-stub edit to include a full date used mdy (going back to December 25, 2009, per MOS:DATERET, I propose that the format be changed to mdy. Unless someone can provide a VALID reason not to make this change, I will do so after a reasonable amount of time has passed. 1980fast (talk) 05:21, 17 October 2020 (UTC)
 * That was a non-substantial edit. The article was consistently using the ymd format before that edit.
 * I am one of the major contributors to the article, and I was also the first to use a full date in the prose (outside the infobox template). I prefer dmy in the prose and ymd in the references because dmy is much more commonly used and more logical than mdy. ymd is even more logical and easier to parse (as well as shorter) in references which are shared even beyond the English-speaking world. --Matthiaspaul (talk) 21:16, 25 November 2021 (UTC)
