thread_title:  Missing Candidates 

message: In the "Fall Campaign" section, there is a reference to James Monroe's 1820 victory that seems out of place. The article is talking about elections with multiple candidates, and then in parenthesis is a comment about how Monroe faces no opponents in 1820. In my opinion, this comment does not contribute to the article and is confusing. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 99.172.130.46 (talk) 23:44, 4 March 2013 (UTC)
thread_title: James Monroe Reference

message: IMO, the sections on the Republican, Democratic, and Progressive Party nominations and conventions are far too long, wordy, and mired in trivia and detail for a general encyclopedia article. Additionally, they also sound suspiciously lifted almost word-for-word from another encyclopedia article or book. I would suggest that an editor prune these sections to a more readable and informative length, sticking to main points and leaving out the tedious detail. Just a thought. 2602:304:691E:5A29:24BC:8AD6:1EF9:270 (talk) 02:08, 18 May 2014 (UTC)
thread_title:  Presidential Nomination Sections Too Long 

message: This article suffers from an almost complete lack of information about the actual presidential campaign. Indeed, here is the account of it in its entirety: "With the disastrous Democratic Convention having badly divided the Democrats, and with the economy booming, there was little doubt that Coolidge would win the election. His campaign slogan, “Keep Cool with Coolidge”, was highly popular."
Given the incredible amount of (mostly tedious) detail given to the machinations behind the Republican, Democratic and even Progessive party nomination battles, all of which, not incidentally, seems to be lifted straight from some published accounts of the elections, one would think that the actual campaign for president might warrant more than the 30 words or so which currently cover it, especially on a page which weighs in at over 100,000 bytes?

replies: text: I'm the one that cited those works, and at the time no one was willing to step forward and help me summarize them so that the content in question could be truncated for the purposes of this page. I ran into the same problem when it came to the book's discussions on the General Election, which I had partially typed up at one points years ago, but the information was even more scattered and I was unable to determine what should be cut and what shouldn't. Basically it became more work then I was able to do by myself, and I simply ceased, hoping that someone might take up the mantle; just, no one ever has. --Ariostos (talk) 20:23, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks, Ariostos. Hopefully someone will make an effort to cover the election campaign - I have no particular expertise here or access to sources which might cover that, so I'm off that list. Canada Jack (talk) 20:43, 21 September 2017 (UTC)
thread_title:  How about something about the actual election? 

message: Virtually every other Presidential Election wikipedia page has a section about the campaign. This one does not. It features virtually nothing about the months between the nomination and the election, such as specific stances the candidates furthered, talking points, or the like. I guess we get some of it after every nomination section, but it's disappointingly lackluster and makes it difficult to research. Bayad27 (talk) 21:37, 14 December 2022 (UTC)
thread_title:  Section on Campaign 

message: I have put together something of a repository of Newspaper Articles (here); while you need a NYTimes Account to actually makes use of the links, if you search for the Articles by their titles you can find their abstracts, though there is a limit to the number you can look up unless you actually have a subscription. At the moment I've only collected those that had some connection to Coolidge, so there are certainly ones on Davis and La Follette that I missed, and I plan on looking up those for the smaller Candidacies as well. If you have any recommendations on how to revise the collection to be more efficient for our purposes here, please let me know. --Ariostos (talk) 09:02, 28 August 2023 (UTC)
