A picture of President Reagan in 1920s

I wanted to add the opposite picture to the article; but I thought that it had already been deleted.

Supposed disagreement with minor edits specifying vague wording and scrapping irrelevant conjecture

Can we get a level-headed, fair user to look over the edits I have made since yesterday and identify any problems? I have directly explained that these edits specify vague, clunky wording and scrap unnecessary and unsubstantiated conjecture, but for some unclear reason it keeps being removed by two users. If needed, I can justify line by line. Thanks! Jaydenwithay (talk) 17:34, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:Make it 3 users. I especially don't get the removal of what his supporters have said about his alleged use of the so-called "southern strategy". (Other than POV pushing.) Rja13ww33 (talk) 17:54, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

::Good to see you're still kickin it. Reasoning: historical appraisals of the subject's perfection of the Southern strategy (which is not "so-called" and is the basis of the past sixty years of American politics, as even a remedial high school history class will teach you) don't need to be countered by the views of political allies who are a product of said political strategy. Clutters the page with irrelevant commentary. Jaydenwithay (talk) 18:13, 11 June 2025 (UTC)

:::Sorry but there has been alternate views raised in RS about Reagan's use of this "strategy". What you removed was well sourced to RS.....except for maybe the NR article. I could see a case for removing that....but the RS cited that one anyway, so having a link to it cuts out the middle man. We can't exclude alternate POVs raised in RS just because somebody doesn't want that POV included. Rja13ww33 (talk) 18:18, 11 June 2025 (UTC)
