Semi-protected edit request on 3 April 2023 edit

Remove "Vice Chair of the National Governors Association" from the infobox. It's not significant, and the infobox is pretty long as is. UpstairsSignificance (talk) 14:10, 3 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

  Not done for now: It is clearly a significant position; the length of the infobox does not necessitate removal of content if it's still summarising important information accurately. Actualcpscm (talk) 19:23, 4 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

‘Presidential Nominee’ edit

Last time I checked, Bill Clinton was not the ‘Democratic nominee for president in the 2016 presidential election.’ 206.127.185.1 (talk) 15:47, 5 April 2023 (UTC)Reply

The article doesn't say he was. It says his wife was, and it talks about activities he undertook in support of his wife's campaign. ~ ONUnicorn(Talk|Contribs)problem solving 20:21, 22 September 2023 (UTC)Reply

Lead photo edit

Current photo
New photo

This article uses Bill Clinton.jpg as its lead photo, but I propose replacing it with this photo. I don't really have any major issues with the current photo, but what is kind of annoying is that its more of an initial headshot photo, like this one for George W. Bush. The photo I propose for Bill Clinton is more of an actual portrait. Rexxx7777 (talk) 22:39, 13 November 2023 (UTC)Reply

We should keep the official portrait (as always). 2804:14D:5C32:4673:8477:9221:32BD:997F (talk) 02:45, 4 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Adding Short Citations edit

I’m cleaning up duplicate citation issues for Maraniss’s "First in His Class." This article has four full citations for the same book, and one for pp.40 has inadvertently (and incorrectly) become the source cited for 12 referenced details.

I’ll add short citations when I find correct page numbers. This will add 13 short citations to an article that only has three right now. Since Further Reading also lists this reference, what is consensus around removing all full citations for the book from the citation list? This is what WP:SRF recommends but isn't common practice for this article yet. Thinkinink (talk) 01:03, 12 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
