A "self-made man whose adoptive father (who was a wealthy doctor) had enough money to send him to Stanford University? What is Wikipedia's definition of "self-made"? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Ianbrettcooper (talk • contribs) 23:06, 21 April 2023 (UTC)Reply
I agree that the "self-made man" editorializing should be deleted from the article. He also dropped out of college to work for his uncle's real estate company? I would delete the "self-made man" clause personally but the article is semi-protected right now. Let's please delete it.--212.166.223.142 (talk) 20:52, 12 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

Currently this reads: "By 1914, Hoover was a very wealthy man, with an estimated personal fortune of $4 million (equivalent to $116.86 million in 2022)". This is an idiotic sentence. I assume that the calculation is correct; but unless his wealth was known to be $4,000,0XX in 1914 it is just plain daft to put that into modern dollars at five significant figures. Far better to say something like ". . .$4 million (equivalent to $100 million or more in modern times)."Cross Reference (talk) 22:46, 17 June 2023 (UTC)Reply

The use of the word "landslide" to describe Hoovers victory is vague, and in the US Electoral system could mean mearly hiting 50% +1, which is the bare minimum in other election systems. I suggest removing the word "landslide" and replacing it with how much he won by, or changing landslide to a link to the wiki article that explains the term.
