Thoughts on FA
edit@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)

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)
Done for the moment. Professor Penguino (talk) 03:30, 2 June 2024 (UTC)

Place "Carter is the most recent Democrat president to have served in the military" as the last sentence in Naval Career section. Sean 2015 (talk) 13:22, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
- Without offering an opinion as to whether or not this is warranted in the article, the adjective form is "Democratic", not "Democrat," and should be used if this suggestion is implemented. PianoDan (talk) 22:01, 24 June 2024 (UTC)
Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. Left guide (talk) 06:16, 18 July 2024 (UTC)
Typo edit request
editUnder 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)
- I removed the word "was". DanCherek (talk) 15:39, 16 July 2024 (UTC)
More pics?
editIsn't there any free picture(s) from Carter's childhood, adolescence, and youth to use in this GA article? Cf. especially other contemporary US presidents and also Carter's wife Rosalynn Carter. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 06:55, 20 July 2024 (UTC)
his death?
editI've seen reports that he has passed. Any confirmation? Hector770 (talk) 15:33, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Multiple reports, however still unconfirmed by major national or international news sources, but that could change quickly either way. --VVikingTalkEdits 15:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- The post circulating was intentionally faked and designed as a social experiment. Jimmy Carter is still alive and is in hospice care. James G Thorn (talk) 15:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- At least one local ABC affiliate picked it up, realized their mistake, and took it down. Wild times, innit? Schiffy (Speak to me|What I've done) 15:43, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- @James G Thorn ya I just saw that. Hector770 (talk) 15:44, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- Nope,[1] a similar thing happened to Noam Chomsky about a month ago. Maurnxiao (talk) 17:23, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
- And here's a study of the phenomenon: 'Death by Twitter'. Donald Albury 17:48, 23 July 2024 (UTC)
Israel and Palestine
editIsrael and Palestine. --- In that section it is not as clear here as it could be that Carter's use of the term "apartheid" applies to the extra-national occupied territories such as the West Bank, and not to Israel proper --- "Former US President Jimmy Carter wrote the 2006 book Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid. His use of the term "apartheid" was calibrated to avoid specific accusations of racism against the government of Israel, and carefully limited to the situation in Gaza and the West Bank. In a letter to the Board of Rabbis of Greater Phoenix, Carter made clear that he was not discussing the circumstances within Israel but exclusively within Gaza and the West Bank.[42] In a 2007 interview, he said: "Apartheid is a word that is an accurate description of what has been going on in the West Bank, and it's based on the desire or avarice of a minority of Israelis for Palestinian land. It's not based on racism...This is a word that's a very accurate description of the forced separation within the West Bank of Israelis from Palestinians and the total domination and oppression of Palestinians by the dominant Israeli military." The material in quotes is taken from the Wikipedia entry on Israel and apartheid. 2600:1017:B125:B126:7CE3:3FA6:9312:286A (talk) 15:45, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
- It seems pretty clear to me. The very first sentence in that section says, "Carter's Palestine: Peace Not Apartheid, a New York Times Best Seller book, published in 2006, generated controversy for characterizing Israel's policies in the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip as amounting to apartheid." Do you have a proposed change you'd like to see, with a source? GA-RT-22 (talk) 15:56, 27 July 2024 (UTC)
