__TOC__

Lead image

Time we change his lead (infobox) image back to his main portrait as Prime Minister. The 2023 portrait in use worked from November 2023 to July 2024 due to his return to government, but with Labour's victory in this year's general election, they have taken over government. So it's time to bring Cameron's image back to the portrait taken during his time in office as Prime Minister as this was his highest rank and what he is inarguably best known for. 92.236.118.94 (talk) 02:09, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

:No, there's absolutely nothing wrong with the more recent image, which is official and of much better quality. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 02:11, 4 November 2024 (UTC)

::Every US President has a portrait image from their time in office, to signal their status as a President. This should be the same with UK Prime Ministers. Their time as Prime Minister is more significant than anything else about them. 92.236.118.94 (talk) 19:07, 8 November 2024 (UTC)

:::No, not every US president has a portrait image from their time in office, Herbert Hoover being the most recent example otherwise. The rest of your argument doesn't outweigh image quality. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 20:27, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

::::Using Hoover as a reference point is such a weak argument, it was taken the year before he was sworn in. TheFellaVB (talk) 21:15, 1 March 2025 (UTC)

:::::It's far from the only reference point. Just take a look at Benjamin Harrison for another example. ‑‑Neveselbert (talk · contribs · email) 22:49, 3 March 2025 (UTC)

:::Most U.S. Presidents don't hold a formal public office again after leaving office, but David Cameron did. ParliamentarianCA (talk) 01:23, 3 May 2025 (UTC)

in the sentence

'Blairmore was built by Cameron's great-great-grandfather, Alexander Geddes,[6][7] who had made a fortune in the grain trade in Chicago, Illinois, before returning to Scotland in the 1880s.[8] Blairmore was sold soon after Ian's birth.[7]'

change the link on the word grain trade to direct to the page grain trade, rather than the page commodity market Crowgirll (talk) 09:46, 18 March 2025 (UTC)
