Talk:1828 United States presidential election

message: The AFD debate did not get consensus to decide on what to do, and since there appear to be no other articles on elections held in 1828, I could not turn the article into a disambiguation page. I thus redirected it here. Anyone who can find other articles about elections in 1828 is highly encouraged to turn the redirect into a disambiguation page; it might also be advisable for someone to cull the page history of the article for any content that could be merged here.

message: If there is one thing I truly dislike about MediaWiki software, it is that the edit summaries themselves are not editable.  Unlike the main text, where I can go back and fix things if I have a mental lapse, those things are permanent.  Thus, I currently have the embarassment of having the following comment in the article history:  “revert last edit: copyediting by a grammatically and spelling challenged individual”.  It ought to read:  “revert last two edits: copyediting by a grammar- and spelling-challenged individual”.  Having a grammatically incorrect edit summary criticizing another user's lack of grammar skills is unfortunate, to say the least.  Oh, well.

message: The totals of the popular vote in the infobox and Results differ versus the "Results by State" table.  The infobox values match National Archive summary data while the state results do not.  The state results are also unreferenced and come from a Feb. 2013 edit.  I'll see if I can determine the source of the difference. Red Harvest (talk) 07:07, 26 February 2015 (UTC)
replies: text: I checked against the values at http://www.countingthevotes.com/1828/  Using a spreadsheet of the unreferenced wiki values versus this other, I found quite a few errors in the wiki count.  I have made corrections.  Note that there were also "other" candidate votes that are reflected in some, but not all the wiki state total values.  In addition, the wiki percentages have not been recalculated. Red Harvest (talk) 08:12, 26 February 2015 (UTC)

message: Not certain how sentence 5 is to read, but certain it isn't to read as is:
"Jackson and allies such as Martin Van Buren and Vice President John C. Calhoun laid the foundations of the Democratic Party, while supporterure, states had recently expanded voting rights to nearly all white men in nearly all elections.[2]"
Additionally, the referenced source (https://americanhistory.si.edu/democracy-exhibition/vote-voice/getting-vote/demanding-vote/white-manhood-suffrage) is not particularly supportive.

message: Nullification was not really an issue in 1828, and Jackson by no means was an ally of the nullifiers. He at best was quiet about the tarrif and in office was ardently anti-nullification. 2A02:8388:86C0:1700:C4E3:797A:F265:1A68 (talk) 13:43, 4 December 2022 (UTC)
