This article has been mentioned by a media organization:

Rob Crilly (June 26, 2024). "It's a MAGAtha Christie mystery: Who used Trump Campaign spokesman's name to edit VP frontrunner JD Vance's abortion stance on his Wikipedia page?". Daily Mail. Retrieved June 27, 2024. The online tweak reduces differences between Vance and his potential boss, at least as far as Wikipedia users are concerned.

Mamaw and Papaw

Why is the nicknames he used as a child for his grandparents in any way notable and encyclopedic? Having endearing names for close family members is so common in the US as to compare with a statement that a person learned to tie their shoes as a child. -- 71.223.46.218 (talk) 16:46, 10 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"He was announced"?

the principal text states: "j.d. vance was announced" as vp pick at rnc convention. Look, the roll call vote of the delegates will confirm him as vp nominee in a matter of minutes. I canoot edit the article, but let's write on the present: he is the vp pick 189.71.124.204 (talk) 19:53, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Can an administer set this page to semi-protected/protected?

It hasn't even been an hour since J.D. Vince has been announced there VP choice for Trump and this page is already being subject to vandalism and misinformation/disinformation. I can only guarantee that this page will get vandalized more as we head closer to the election. CavDan24 (talk) 20:18, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

I've already semi-protected the article. There is currently a request to upgrade the protection to ECP at WP:RFPP. Isabelle Belato ^🏳‍🌈 20:44, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Thanks! CavDan24 (talk) 21:26, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Senate election

the fact that Vance underperformed the republican ticket during the 2022 election (compare 2022 United States Senate election in Ohio lead) should be mentioned in this article. — jonas (talk) 21:06, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Summa cum laude???

The article claims, "Vance later attended the Ohio State University, graduating in 2009 with a Bachelor of Arts degree summa cum laude in political science and philosophy." This sentence has two references. Neither of the references says anything about him graduating summa cum laude. I believe this "summa cum laude" claim should be removed from the article, unless and until someone finds actual sourcing of this claim to Ohio State. MelanieN (talk) 21:49, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

This New York Times article published today verified that claim. Cullen328 (talk) 21:57, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

That should settle it, but... I do wonder if the Times reporter got that information from reading Wikipedia! I can't find anything at Ohio State University websites that mentions any honors at graduation for him. This, for example, doesn't mention summa cum laude. You'd think they would call attention to it. Not being an alum myself, I can't consult their alumni directory. Well, I still have my doubts, but I guess I will replace the two worthless references with the Times article. -- MelanieN (talk) 23:32, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Opening sentence

Forgive me if this has already been discussed, but why has Vance's title in the opening sentence been reduced to "politican and lawyer"? It formerly referenced his status as a venture capitalist and author, which provides extensive detail on his background. Donald Trump's page notes him for various aspects of his career, for instance. While I think that venture capitalist is just one part of his career, "author" is what he became mostly known for and I feel that it deserves to be in the opening sentence. Again, I don't want to reinvent the wheel if this has already been discussed, but I would argue for returning "author" or "memoirist" to the first lead paragraph.

Eastern Kentucky roots

Vance's family was from the hills of Eastern Kentucky. He also spent summers visiting relatives with his grandparents in Jackson, Kentucky. His family also has ties with the Hatfield's and McCoy's.^[1] I feel like this should be mentioned in the article. Kentuckian |💬 23:38, 15 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Semi-protected edit request on 16 July 2024

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected redirect at J. D. Vance. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Last week, Vance in an interview with "Meet the Press" said that he supports the abortion pill mifepristone "being accessible" after the Supreme Court ruled against pro-life advocates who sued to end its Food and Drug Administration (FDA) approval.
