I think it looks better, but WP:HEAD won't allow it. I was curious as to whether it's worth trying to change the policy since they look better or if we should just move ahead and not worry about it. Spinach Monster (talk) 20:24, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We don't need to duplicate the text from the articles. This is about the confirmations; nothing more. Frank | talk 20:27, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]
We need sources for the votes, and we need to check twice. For example, Kirsten Gillibrand replaced Clinton, but she's listed as voting for Clinton to be confirmed, and she's not listed at all for Geithner. Also, with all the text copied from Geithner's article, we need the cites to be cleaned up - if all that text is going to stay. (But I do think it belongs in one place or the other - not both.)

I check pages listed in Category:Pages with incorrect ref formatting to try to fix reference errors. One of the things I do is look for content for orphaned references in wikilinked articles. I have found content for some of Confirmations of Barack Obama's Cabinet's orphans, the problem is that I found more than one version. I can't determine which (if any) is correct for this article, so I am asking for a sentient editor to look it over and copy the correct ref content into this article.

I apologize if any of the above are effectively identical; I am just a simple computer program, so I can't determine whether minor differences are significant or not. AnomieBOT⚡ 21:05, 31 January 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Why is this section necessary? It's very big and pushes all the text to the bottom of the page, so the reader has to scroll a mile to read anything. It also only includes Geithner and Clinton. If it's going to be included at all, I think it should include at least everyone that's been voted on.. and probably moved to the bottom of the page. I don't support it being here at all, though. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 17:28, 14 February 2009 (UTC)[reply]
This article is very large, and needs to be either split into smaller articles or shrunk. I know, Spinach Monster, that you're trying to get a GA/FA under your belt, but quantity does not equal quality on Wikipedia. Just because an article has a lot of information doesn't mean that the information is relevant or useful for the topic. An article can be a whole gigabyte large, but grammar, choppiness, and lack of conciseness can ruin it. For one thing, the massive amount of 1-sentence paragraphs in this article is astounding. The TOC should be displayed in every article, regardless of size, but no article should contain this many headings. In order to make this article GA/FA quality, the TOC must be displayed, and must contain fewer headings. Also, going through the GA/FA process will tell you the same thing I'm telling you now.. make this article shorter. You don't have to include every single piece of information imaginable about the subject; that's what wikilinks are for.. and {{seealso}} tags.. WP:Summary Style should be helpful. I'm not trying to shoot down your attempts at making a quality article; I'm just trying to help.. --Dudemanfellabra (talk) 16:56, 2 March 2009 (UTC)[reply]

Hello! This is a note to let the editors of this article know that File:President Barack Obama with full cabinet 09-10-09.jpg will be appearing as picture of the day on October 16, 2017. You can view and edit the POTD blurb at Template:POTD/2017-10-16. If this article needs any attention or maintenance, it would be preferable if that could be done before its appearance on the Main Page. — Chris Woodrich (talk) 01:03, 2 October 2017 (UTC)[reply]
