The latter. This surname is most probably Slavic, more specifically Croatian. The word klobučar means "hatmaker" (from klobuk meaning "hat", "cap"). --Joy [shallot] 22:27, 13 February 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Somebody please help with the image

This image: Image:94653840-M.jpg

Appeared in the article at full size. Would someone please put it back at a reasonable size - 150 to 200 pixels in width? Thanks! --AStanhope 17:50, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

• Done. Wikipedia:Image says that px is deprecated, so I set it to 'thumb.'--Bltpdx 18:02, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

There's no reason to use a fair use image when a suitable free one exists. Jonathunder 18:38, 15 October 2006 (UTC)

This image of Klobuchar is horrible, can't we get a better one? --Sterichinderance 21:22, 12 November 2006 (UTC)

• Yeh, she doesn't look very Senatorial. Kinda cute, though, in a geeky sort of way. Wahkeenah 00:15, 13 November 2006 (UTC)
  • The pic is great. There will probably be an official photo once she's sworn in, and I'll be sad to see this one go. 67.117.130.181 05:49, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
    • Download it and make it your PC's wallpaper, like I just did. Wahkeenah 13:31, 14 November 2006 (UTC)
    • USAToday has this one [1] of Amy in "train"ing. Wahkeenah 20:45, 16 November 2006 (UTC)

I replaced the old picture with one from Hennepin County Attorney's Office, photos for other politicians in Wikipedia are usually formal close-ups, thus my motivation.--Wowaconia 03:48, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• Sehr gut. Wahkeenah 04:16, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

• It is a more formal-looking picture, but I'm concerned about the copyright. Wowaconia uploaded it today and listed it as being the work of the U.S. government. If it came from the Hennepin County Attorney's Office, I doubt if it's a work of the U.S. government. Please document exactly where it came from and who owns it. Wikipedia photos should be in the public domain unless getting one would be impossible (which isn't true for Klobuchar). Appraiser 04:37, 17 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Senatorial succession box consistency

None of the other senators=elect have a succession box, since none of them have succeeded to that office. Please see Jim Webb for discussion, as well as an admin posting on my talk page, referencing "Wikipedia is not a crystal ball." I'm removing this for the sake of consistency and in line with the admonitions I received in this regard. Fishhead64 22:43, 18 November 2006 (UTC)

[edit] Once in love with Amy...

...ALWAYS in love with Amy. :) Wahkeenah 20:16, 20 November 2006 (UTC)
