Millard Fillmore

Fillmore is the last US president who was neither a Democrat or Republican. A. Johnson was a Democrat towards the end of his term. Indeed, A. Johnson was a (unsuccessful) candidate for the 1868 Democratic presidential nomination. GoodDay (talk) 15:20, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

True, though he ran with Lincoln on the National Union Party ticket. He was the last Whig, though, which is what that sentence was trying to say.--Wehwalt (talk) 18:34, 2 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

We don't need to mention in the intro that he was the last Whig. Note that we don't mention in the other intros that John Adams was the only Federalist, or that John Quincy Adams was the last Democratic-Republican & only National Republican. It's only important that we point out Fillmore is the last US president who was neither a Democrat or Republican. PS - We don't mention the Whig party in the intros of William Henry Harrison or Zachary Taylor, so it's night overly important to mention in Fillmore's intro.

Transportation during the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics

Hi there! I currently have an FAC open on Transportation during the 2024 Summer Olympics and Paralympics and wanted to know if you could provide any comments so it doesn't get archived? If so, I would be most grateful; but if not, I totally understand. Thanks and best wishes. Hawkeye7 (discuss) 03:33, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

March music

Today: Carmen turns 150, as the main page and my story tell you. I chose a 1962 concert of the Habanera, - enjoy! -- Gerda Arendt (talk) 19:03, 3 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

On Ravel's birthday, we also think of a conductor and five more composers ;) --Gerda Arendt (talk) 20:05, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Thank you today for Five pounds (British gold coin), about "another in the sovereign series of British gold coins, this one the largest, in fact one of the largest gold coins actually struck for circulation."! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 08:06, 14 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today I could have written five stories off the main page, and chose Sofia Gubaidulina. I find the TFA also interesting, and two DYK, and a birthday OTD. How about you? --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:39, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

My birthday recently passed with more of a feeling of accomplishment than celebration. Wehwalt (talk) 22:43, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

congratulations to feeling you accomplished something! --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:55, 16 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Today: an opera, 100 years old OTD, on Bach's birthday. --Gerda Arendt (talk) 22:07, 21 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Inclusion of "Jr." in the lead sentence

Hi Wehwalt; From your edits at James Madison a year or two ago, the "Jr" appellation has returned now after the TFA earlier this week. Could you look at this? ErnestKrause (talk) 16:23, 7 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

GAR

I noticed that you have previously worked on articles in the Royalty, Nobility, and Heraldry section. I have also contributed to multiple GAs in this category. The article Royal Foundation has been nominated for GA by Keivan.f and me, and I thought you might like to take a look if it is convenient for you. I look forward to your response. Regards. MSincccc (talk) 14:02, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

I will look at it when I can. Wehwalt (talk) 14:11, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

hey wehwalt

can i select an article for today's featured article as an ip address? 91.234.25.26 (talk) 18:12, 19 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can nominate an article at WP:TFA/R and follow the instructions. Remember, the article has to be featured (WP:FA) and not have run as TFA more than once, and if it has run once, it must be at least five years before the date you are seeking to nominate it for.

FAC Mentor

Hi, I see that your name is listed on Wikipedia:Mentoring for FAC and am wondering if you would be willing to mentor me on getting Tom Scott (YouTuber) to FA. If not that is okay. History6042😊 (Contact me) 13:42, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately due to real life, I can't take the time for it. I will review it when it gets to FAC though. Wehwalt (talk) 14:29, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Okay, thank you anyway :) . History6042😊 (Contact me) 14:37, 22 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
