It does not have a hyperlink. It should. 73.14.121.206 (talk) 02:48, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

There is a link to NR right above in the infobox where he is listed as Ford's vice president. The name only needs to be linked-to once. Drdpw (talk) 02:53, 18 January 2024 (UTC)Reply

It is requested that an edit be made to the semi-protected article at Gerald Ford. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any autoconfirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{ESp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Ford is honored at the museum of national park rangers in Yellowstone national park for being the only president who was formerly a park ranger. Ford was a park ranger in his college years. However, this detail is not in his biography and I don't have the authorization to add it. 62.74.57.66 (talk) 17:34, 9 May 2024 (UTC)Reply
