Draft Eisenhower movement (edit | talk | history | links | watch | logs)

The article is about the Draft Eisenhower movement, which eventually persuaded General Dwight D. Eisenhower to run for the presidency in 1952. The famous campaign slogan "I Like Ike" was associated with this movement. The article passed its GA review, and I feel that it is comprehensive, but concise. Would appreciate any suggestions on prose and citations. Thanks! – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:56, 14 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

[edit]

A nice, succinct article. I copyedited so let me know any concerns there -- overall I found prose and layout fine.

Query/suggestion -- Finishing the article with the nomination and presidential win is logical but I'm wondering if anything might be said in an 'aftermath' or 'legacy' section -- for instance do any sources discuss the impact on subsequent elections of this movement, or indeed on Ike's presidency?

I have now added a paragraph on Aftermath and legacy of the draft. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:36, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Tks, I think that ties up the article quite well. One thing though: after being perused by various Republican leaders through another Draft movement, he agreed to run for the re-election -- my understanding of "perused" is essentially "looked at", which sounds a bit odd, do we mean "persuaded" or "encouraged"?

Yeah, that is a typo ... Replaced with "persuaded". – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 11:27, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Cool, happy to support now. Cheers, Ian Rose (talk) 11:58, 26 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Image review

[edit]

All licencing looks fine but I can't find the source for File:I like Ike (cropped).jpg.

Added the archived link. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 17:36, 22 September 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

[edit]

Sources appear reliable, although I'd have thought we could find a better one than the Military Memorial Museum for its sole citation. Not saying anything wrong with it but doesn't exactly appear scholarly. Couldn't spot any obvious formatting errors.

Replaced the Military Memorial Museum citation with a better one.

Will look at this one. Hog Farm Talk 14:03, 15 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Looking pretty good; if this is going to FAC might recommend trying to borrow a copy of Pickett from a library, as it seems to be a significant work in the field. Hog Farm Talk 05:33, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Hog Farm – Thanks a lot! Will see what I can do about that book. Rest, I have addressed all your concerns. Do let me know if there's anything else. – Kavyansh.Singh (talk) 10:43, 16 October 2021 (UTC)[reply]
