[edit] Picture

Messed with the template a litte. Changed the picture. Antley 20:05, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

It doesn't look like you did.... _└^Jared_┘^┌_t^┐  21:51, 10 July 2007 (UTC)

I did but ended up changing it back because I couldn't find an appropriate public domain photo.Antley 21:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)

[edit] W

Why "W Mitt Romney"? Do people call him that? Even though his first name is Willard, I think it would be better to just say "Mitt Romney." -Fagles 13:35, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

Perhaps, although I think it looks more formal with the W, but I don't have strong feelings either way. _└^Jared_┘^┌_t^┐  15:40, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I don't have strong feelings either, I just thought I'd mention that it look a bit off to me. I think the template should match the name of the main article (Mitt Romney). Thus the template for Bill Clinton has that name rather than, say "Bill J. Clinton." By contrast, the main article for George W. Bush has the middle initial, which is echoed in the name on the template. -Fagles 20:23, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I see what you're saying. Not that I'm too worried, but it may seem a bit misleading to show Mitt without the W. because it may look like it's actually his first name. But with the precedents you've shown, I guess I'll have to give in! _└^Jared_┘^┌_t^┐  20:30, 12 July 2007 (UTC)

I also don't think the first initial is really necessary, and I don't think it's misleading. "Mitt Romney" is the name he's known by. Antley 21:09, 21 July 2007 (UTC)
