Talk:Warren G. Harding

message: https://covertactionmagazine.com/2023/08/02/is-this-first-lady-also-the-first-female-presidential-assassin/
Article about the new-to-me theory that Harding was murdered by his wife, Mrs. Harding:
: In 1930, with the assistance of a ghostwriter, May Dixon Thacker, Means published a book, The Strange Death of President Harding (New York: Guild Publishing Corporation, 1930), which suggested that Mrs. Harding had killed her husband to prevent his impeachment and protect his legacy, which would have been tarnished by revelations about his philandering and the deep corruption in his administration which was in the process of being exposed.[27]
I'll leave assessment and further research on this to others. 2601:644:8584:2010:0:0:0:5FA4 (talk) 17:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

thread_title:  Murdered?? 

message: Not urgent.
Please change the text in the infobox following "Succeeded by Calvin Coolidge" to "Succeeded by Calvin Coolidge" (as the hyperlink to the article of Calvin Coolidge).
In the infobox, following "Succeeded by," the name "Calvin Coolidge" is not a link to the article for Calvin Coolidge. The name is linked above, after "Vice President" but to keep consistency with other articles of former presidents, I suggest turning this text into the hyperlink for the article on Calvin Coolidge (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Calvin_Coolidge&oldid=1174587415). This will also help with clarity, for someone simply looking through the list of presidents and not reading deeply into the article.
Apologies for unnecessary info, this is my first edit request. 2603:8080:500:285B:19E5:9F71:AFFC:51DC (talk) 07:41, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

message: In the section about Mr. Hardings death it says that his wife was reading to him at “7:30 p.m. in the evening”. Is that as opposed to 7:30 P.M. in the morning? PM means, by definition, that 7:30 is either evening or night, depending on one’s perspective, making it redundant to say evening. 2601:603:2082:3F70:29C1:9B33:7D94:6A5A (talk) 19:22, 31 December 2023 (UTC)

According to sourcewatch.org the APPG exists to 'To prompt friendly relations and mutual understanding between members of Congress and Members of Parliament; to arrange for the exchange of visits and information; and to provide opportunities for discussion'. I'm assuming from the way it's written on sourcewatch that it is quote from the organisation itself... so I going to just use it in the article and see if anyone objects - Motor 08:42:42, 2005-08-07 (UTC)

I have updated the article as best I can using the page for the APPG on Parliament's website. It requires further work, but the membership is up-to-date (as of 26 February 2012). I request, if this is the forum to do it, that the 'outdated' notice be removed from the page.
