@Informant16, ExcellentWheatFarmer, and BrownHairedGirl: since you guys are the main editors, have you thought about bringing it to Featured Article status and have it appear as WP:TFA for his 100th birthday? 750h+ 06:39, 25 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please remove the claim that "his name recognition was two percent" as the reference does not back that and I cannot find an alternate source that says 2 percent (there are some that say 1 percent[1] and some that say 5 to 6[2]).
If one wants to keep the gist that his name recognition was very low change the sentence to something like " His name recognition was quite low, with his opponents derisively asking "Jimmy Who?" "
Also, the archive link seems to be down for the citation? I'm seeing: "Sorry. This URL has been excluded from the Wayback Machine." when I click it. GrapesRock (talk) 18:38, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Under post presidency, 4th paragraph in the diplomacy section, there's a bit that reads "...while saying he was supported the country" if someone could fix that would be great. Scramblescram (talk) 18:47, 3 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
