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)[reply]
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)[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]
Isn'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)[reply]
Multiple reports, however still unconfirmed by major national or international news sources, but that could change quickly either way. --VVikingTalkEdits15:41, 23 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Israel 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)[reply]
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)[reply]
The source was indicating that early voting in Georgia starts on October 15, 2024, which is exactly two weeks after Carter's 100th birthday. Since we don't know whether Carter will make it to that date, nor when he will vote if he does make it to then, I'd say that based on how the sentence here is written, we shouldn't specify an exact relative date ("two weeks" or "one month") in the sentence. Simply saying it will be "after his 100th birthday" should suffice. MPFitz1968 (talk) 15:40, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Also he'll probably vote absentee, which means he will mark his ballot even earlier, although it won't be counted until later. And we don't know what the rules are if someone dies before the count. So I agree we should leave out the exact timeframe. GA-RT-22 (talk) 15:49, 8 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
