Liz Cheney is no longer the member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Wyoming's at-large district as of January 3, 2023
Please change: "Liz, congresswoman from Wyoming since 2017, is married to Philip J. Perry, a former General Counsel of the Department of Homeland Security."
To: "Liz, former congresswoman from Wyoming, is married to Philip J. Perry, a former General Counsel of the Department of Homeland Security."
Or: "Liz is married to Philip J. Perry, a former General Counsel of the Department of Homeland Security." Brandeman ( talk) 03:40, 13 February 2023 (UTC)
The article states "October 6, 1965, the draft was expanded to include married men without children; Cheney's first daughter, Elizabeth, was born 9 months and two days later."
This statement has been published numerous major outlet, and this article cites to a few. The problem is that none of those articles are correct from a mathematical standpoint.
Liz Cheney was born on July 28, 1966
October 6, 1965 to July 28, 1966 is 9 months and 22 days, not 9 months and 2 days. Someone at a newspaper didn't hit the 2 key twice and nobody has checked the calculation since.

Please fix this since I can't. It's a perfect example of Wikipedia being MORE accurate than some longstanding news organizations. 174.45.36.20 ( talk) 00:32, 18 February 2023 (UTC)
In other articles. I think there is a clear consensus that titles like governor, vice president, president, etc. should not be capitalised when used in prose.
For example, Bush's article reads that he served as the "43rd president of the United States". Can we stick to this consensus for this article please 219.89.38.16 ( talk) 08:59, 12 December 2023 (UTC)
Mention should be made of his decision as sec defense to cancel further F22 production and destroy the production of the tooling so no further fighters or spare parts could be produced 75.72.161.233 ( talk) 15:26, 29 December 2023 (UTC)
Dick Cheney, as well as 9 other members of George W. Bush's cabinet, including Paul Wolfowitz and Donald Romsfeld belonging to PNAC. JRSS96 ( talk) 09:32, 21 March 2024 (UTC)
I am unaware if this has been discussed before, but why is there a need to make a reference to the birth of Liz Cheney in reference to the extension of the draft requirements? It seems like a slightly biased jab at Cheney, and is almost certainly unrelated, either completely or mostly. I can appreciate the humor, but I feel like it should be avoided of mentioning this fact unless Cheney or his wife comes out and acknowledges this. Electabro ( talk) 02:27, 25 March 2024 (UTC)
