This is an old revision of this page, as edited by 2a02:a467:f771:1:2597:4a1d:a0b9:8ab7 (talk) at 18:57, 20 May 2022 (→typo in lead). The present address (URL) is a permanent link to this revision, which may differ significantly from the current revision.

== Intro ==

The last sentence of the intro includes: "... former Vice President Joe Biden and Senator Kamala Harris (both of whom ran for President in the 2020 Democratic Presidential primary)..." Can this be updated to reflect the fact that they won the Presidency and Vice Presidency, respectively? Suggest: "...Joe Biden and Kamala Harris, both of whom ran for President in 2020 and were elected as President and Vice President, respectively..."

I tried to fix it, without becoming too cumbersome. Also I replaced the reference, which did not support the text. -- M.boli (talk) 19:04, 18 March 2021 (UTC)[reply]

The article says that Mayer Mitchell was a scrap metal dealer in Mobile, Alabama when, in fact, he was a real estate developer. 2601:42:180:1DC0:64E6:5C44:8171:1CD0 (talk) 13:15, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Melmann 14:31, 24 May 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Done. Freelance-frank (talk) 22:07, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Interesting. The year Mitchell was president is contradicted by the obit I found. It looks like the presidents section was copied from this list at some point. Probably worth checking that list more thoroughly. Freelance-frank (talk) 22:11, 14 June 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Riddled with errors, probably? Moving here for now:

Retiring Democratic Lawmaker: When AIPAC Told Us to Jump, the Party Used to Ask ‘How High?’

Good external link? --2001:8003:DDB1:C600:54A4:7852:D16C:23C3 (talk) 21:04, 27 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Probably better if integrated into the article than if used as en external link. Depending on the article contents, I would certainly support inclusion of some details.
I don't have Haaretz premium access, so I can't do that myself, though I would if I had access to the article. Unfortunately you can't add it to the article because this page is protected due to its part in the I/P conflict area--you'd need 30 days and 500 edits on your account.

Typo fix but I don't have extended edit rights. "Mear" cite note misspells the author's name, please change Mearshimer to Mearsheimer. Also link appears to be broken.

The dead link was to a working paper (which which seems to have circulated widely). The author's web page pointed to a free published version in the London Review of Books, so I used that and updated the block quote to match the slightly-changed wording of the published version. And, of course, I fixed the spelling and the name-flip in the citation. Thank you! -- M.boli (talk) 13:36, 26 February 2022 (UTC)[reply]

typo in lead


In the last line of the lead, "well as high-ranking Republicans" should be "as well as high-ranking Republicans"
