Result: Delisted. ~~ AirshipJungleman29 (talk) 11:24, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

There are many short one-or-two-sentence paragraphs throughout the article. This makes the information difficult to read, and I am not sure that all of them are necessary in the article. These should be formatted better or evaluated for their inclusion. There is not much information about his early political career before his election to the House of Representatives. Is there any important information about the House campaign that should be included? The "Aftermath" section is almost entirely block quotes, which lowers readability for readers. I suggest that this information be summarised and removed or reduced. There is uncited prose throughout the article. Z1720 (talk) 22:36, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Semi-protected edit request on 25 January 2026

Change "Born and raised in Lincoln, Nebraska, Cheney later lived in Casper, Wyoming.[7] He attended Yale University before earning a Bachelor of Arts and Master of Arts in political science from the University of Wyoming." to explicitly state that Cheney left/flunked out of Yale before attending the University of Wyoming. ~2026-55538-8 (talk) 23:59, 25 January 2026 (UTC)

Acting president in infobox

@S1r Gawa1n 2004 you added a section on Cheney being 'acting president' to the infobox. I think this level of detail falls outside of the description of what should be included in infoboxes per WP:MOS. I've reverted the addition. Please establish consensus here before re-adding the information. ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 20:42, 6 March 2026 (UTC)

I again appreciate your clarification for reverting my action. My reasons for insertion were all the same as George H.W. Bush (13 July 1985). S1r Gawa1n 2004 (talk) 00:39, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

For any talkpage watchers, my response is the same here and on HW Bush and Harris. Having the information in the infoboxes is UNDUE per WP:PROPORTION. Per MOS:INFOBOX The less information that an infobox contains, the more effectively it serves its purpose, allowing readers to identify key facts at a glance. The service as acting president is already acknowledged in the body of the article, it doesn't serve readers well to have it in the infobox. ScrubbedFalcon (talk) 06:54, 7 March 2026 (UTC)

Possible edit war over the portrait version

I've noticed that for the last week there have been a few edits changing (and reverting) the portrait between the 2001 and 2003 versions. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I couldn't find a rule describing the portrait changes of US politicians after death, as mentioned by @Knightoftheswords281. DNI2VCL (talk) 20:56, 30 March 2026 (UTC)

We generally use the first official portraits for both VP and President when they're dead and the latest portrait when alive. There is generally precedent for this (see this and this for instance). @DNI2VCL: — Knightoftheswords 03:57, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

The general precedent isn't consistent. On the Ronald Reagan or Jimmy Carter articles the portrait used is the earlier version, but on articles of Richard Nixon and Dwight D. Eisenhower, the portrait used was taken later into the presidency. I think we also need to ask @JoshiKuri for their reasoning. DNI2VCL (talk) 09:24, 31 March 2026 (UTC)

The 2003 one is the more widely used portrait by far. That is also why Reagan's uses the 1981 portrait, it is by far the more used portrait. JoshiKuri (talk) 21:56, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

@Knightoftheswords281, @DNI2VCL, I just realised that the 2003 portrait was changed to the 2001 without any pre made discussion or hints. Anyway, the 2003 portrait was still taken during Cheney’s first vice presidential term, only 2 years apart, matches with George W. Bush’s currently used portrait (unless of course, we want to change Bush’s picture too), and is generally used more for Cheney than the 2001 one, not just on Wikipedia. I also agree with DNI2VCL‘s message above.KagedCroc1 ⭐️ 11:49, 1 April 2026 (UTC)

Why is the invalid semi-protection reason still there?

I understand semi-protection on the grounds of vandalism since a controversial figure like Dick Cheney will certainly invite, well, controversy... but hasn't he passed away? It's still there on grounds of "promot[-ing] compliance with the policy on biographies of living persons." Why? Bloody-pin (talk) 14:29, 2 April 2026 (UTC)
