Talk:Dick Cheney#rfc E0AB71F

Cheney was viewed as the most powerful vice president in American history, and for the same way Gore’s tenure has an article, so should Cheney’s. Vinnylospo (talk) 00:32, 20 August 2024 (UTC)

:Make an article that is more comprehensive. The content currently contained in this main biography is not extensive enough to require a spinoff, this this biography is not overly-lengthy. Therefore: if there will be a dedicated article on his vice presidency, it needs to contain far more details that what is currently in this main biography.

:Absolutely unacceptable how utterly lightweight this is.

:For someone so powerful, I feel that wikipedia is demeaning the public containing so little information about his vice presidency... 2001:FB1:13B:1719:44F9:864B:CF71:6E9C (talk) 08:30, 25 October 2024 (UTC)

::I agree. There are already articles for the Vice Presidency of Al Gore and Vice presidency of Joe Biden, so I created the article Vice presidency of Dick Cheney per this talk page consensus. --Plumber (talk) 04:49, 25 March 2025 (UTC)

Would people be opposed to a “universally known as Dick Cheney” at the start of the lede, perhaps after (pronunciation;DOB)? I feel like Richard vs Dick requires slightly more explanation than say Christopher vs Chris biographies, and at the moment the difference isn’t mentioned anywhere else in the article (like when he started being called Dick). Maybe I’m overthinking it Cbe46 (talk) 07:24, 2 October 2024 (UTC)

I am concerned that this article no longer meets the good article criteria. Some of my concerns are listed below:

• The "Aftermath" section is almost entirely block quotes. This creates copyright concerns and lowers readability for readers. I suggest that this information be summarised and removed or reduced.
• There are many short one-or-two sentence paragraphs throughout the article. This makes the information difficult to read, and I am not sure that all of them are necessary in the article. These should be formatted better or evaluated for their inclusion.
• There is not much information about his early political career before elected to the House of Representatives. Is there any important information about the House campaign that should be included in this article?
• There is uncited prose throughout the article.

Is anyone interested in fixing up the article, or should this go to WP:GAR? Z1720 (talk) 00:31, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I know this is minor but it's the kind of error that stands out to me.

In the paragraph summarizing his approach to Iraq, the following sentence states:

He was an early proponent of invading Iraq, alleging that the Saddam Hussein regime possessed weapons of mass destruction program …

But it should state:

He was an early proponent of invading Iraq, alleging that the Saddam Hussein regime possessed a weapons of mass destruction program Tundratapper (talk) 17:35, 3 November 2024 (UTC)

The article claims that Cheney's views about WMDs were accepted because he pressured the intelligence community. Bush and he lied. Th8is is not what happened. The CIA had for years warned our leaders about WMD's That is the reason Madeline Albright, President Clinton, Al Gore and other Democrats made pubic statements that something had to be done possibly preparing us for an invasion. That is the reason Hillary Clinton supported Bush's decision to invade. All of this can easiy be confirmed by googling the topic. It is also the reason that a bipartisan congressional investigation of why the CIA got it wrong was held. They emphatically made it clear it was not due to pressure from either Cheney or Bush. That the media year after year in its campaign against the war lied about Bush's lies is indication of how the media had already begun to accept mistruths long before Trump appeared 2600:6C65:79F0:8E60:DA8:36F5:F20D:395F (talk) 16:36, 31 January 2025 (UTC)
