message: It seems like his official portrait has been uploaded at commerce.gov. Is it possible to use this instead? I'm quite new to Wikipedia, so I don't know if this falls under public domain or not. Samhiuy (talk) 08:32, 4 March 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: Thanks for the suggestion, Samhiuy. This is indeed OK, because US federal government publications should be public domain. If you find a better image, you can replace the image indeed, but it is not always necessary to use an 'official' image of course. In this case it made indeed a lot of sense. I see you changed the picture after your remark, so that's good! Welcome to Wikipedia. effeietsanders 08:45, 15 March 2017 (UTC)

message: Just a short question: is Wilbur Ross the oldest cabinet member ever confirmed? If so, I think that could be mentioned in the article. Cassandro (talk) 09:35, 6 November 2017 (UTC)
replies: text: According to an unsourced blog article, he's the oldest member of by far the oldest cabinet ever. Politico says there are four cabinet-level nominees older than any in the Bush or Obama cabinet. According to Politico, the average age of the cabinet nominees in 2017 was 62 —which ties with Iran ;-)  Wakari07 (talk) 12:09, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

text: The JFK Library contains this document. The oldest, as I can read, is Henry L. Stimson, who was 77 when asked to stay on for a few months by Truman in April 1945. Data before McKinley and after Eisenhower are still missing. Wakari07 (talk) 15:37, 9 December 2018 (UTC)

message: Per your edit wars here, here and here  i have remove the info you add until an agreeement on this can be occurred. Per brd do not restore this till we discuss this or i take you to administrator incident place for edit war on this article and the other ones (2018 china united relations, miao wei and canada china relations).

replies: text: Ross said in September that "China is out of bullets"   and the U.S. has "to create a situation where its more painful for them to continue their bad practices than it is to reform them"  after he said in August that "at the end of the day, we have many more bullets than they do. They know it."  I see a relevant pattern of threatening language, similar to the contested edits. Also  please keep in mind that the WP:Civility policy overrules the optional method of WP:BRD. Wakari07 (talk) 20:21, 11 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  Pffffft. "threatening" language. with your pov you have position to talk about "threatening" stuff. Besides we are not even talking about that you are totally off topic. my argument with tobby72 was about the RELEVANCY of the material. not civility. Also i see you are wikihounding by reverting some of my edits on multiple pages between myself and tobby72. You do one more of this and i will report you to adminiistrator incident notice. Waskerton (talk) 06:32, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
replies: text:  I agree with , my additions are relevant and the consensus is against you. You are wikihounding by reverting my edits, Waskerton — diff, diff, diff, diff. Please stop with it. Also beware of WP:BOOMERANG. -- Tobby72 (talk) 17:25, 12 December 2018 (UTC)
