That should be Dennis Hastert's pic there, not Dick Gephardt's. 2605:A000:1316:6027:0:22A0:65EE:35D2 (talk) 12:38, 16 October 2018 (UTC)

I changed his portrait back to something during his peak political years. He is technically still doing political things but hasn't held anything major since 1999; in similar ways Bill Clinton, Al Gore, Condoleezza Rice, etc. still have their old portraits despite still being alive and doing minor political stuff. 2A02:C7C:2DCE:1F00:B1F4:5E9B:8F57:D0A3 (talk) 14:54, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

:Yes, it needed to be replaced 2601:589:5184:8A0:D8D4:19ED:919:A867 (talk) 14:36, 3 June 2025 (UTC)

GA Reassessment

{{Wikipedia:Good article reassessment/Newt Gingrich/1}}

" confirmed, serial philanderer"

not a neutral formaulation. "has enganged in multiple extra-marital affairs" is more neutral. No need to specify 'confirmed' - everything on wikipedia should be confirmed... 2A02:3100:1A42:B600:D8BD:CDD:DFB2:F170 (talk) 23:38, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
