I’m newish; I’m close to 500 edits, the vast majority of which are basic copy edits. I saw that this article is up for formal review. I don’t have the WP skills to handle all aspects of a worthwhile review, but I am interested in the topic and can credibly offer copy editing. In a preliminary read of a few hundred words, I saw several formulations that I thought warranted editing. So far, in my dipping in and out of dozens of articles by whim, I have just published my edits (while trying to learn WP policies & MOS as I go). In this case, though, would it be more helpful to you, User:SecretName101, for me to set up my Sandbox (which I have not done yet) and accumulate a batch of proposed edits for your review? (No pun intended, I guess.) Or should I just publish as I have the last few months, and let you and other users decide if I am ‘improving’ the article? I don’t want to interfere with the review process; that certainly would NOT improve our encyclopedia. IMPORTANT: I have very limited capacity most days; hence my decision to be an editing dilettante most of the time so far. Sandbox (or other logistical tactics) would be a significant change for me, and I cannot promise quick comprehensive suggestions. Thanks for all your work on this article, and for your ‘advice & consent’ (pun definitely intended). Left Central ( talk) 20:21, 22 April 2022 (UTC)

@ Kwkintegrator: It is not clear to me which photos you said have unresolved copyright concerns, nor what is unresolved. SecretName101 ( talk) 21:24, 18 May 2022 (UTC)
@ SecretName101:, sorry for the delay in getting back to you. Having gone through the images again, I think I was confused by the comments about the Library of Congress tag not conferring usage rights. I will go back and revise my review accordingly, and I apologize. Could you confirm whether you've resolved the other issues highlighted?
@ Kwkintegrator: Nearly all have, yes. SecretName101 ( talk) 23:15, 10 June 2022 (UTC)
And the reason the Republicans are divided (they were listed separately in the section on the trial before it was spun-off) is that only those listed first are cited as voicing those specific concerns/objections as their reason for voting not to convict.

I have approved this article as having GA status, and have updated the review template above on this page accordingly. Congratulations, @ SecretName101:
Oops! Just saw this Talk thread (and the gracious reply to me by @SecretName101, above). Sorry for the tardy attention. Upshot for @Kwkintegrator: there are still many unresolved copy-edit needs, and I am not certain I can meet the 9 pm Eastern timeframe (although I will try — see the copy-edit thread). More soon.

Hi @ SecretName101 — Please see my note on the GA Review thread. I sincerely apologize for not seeing your courteous reply until this morning. (I’m currently on Pacific Breakfast Time. :) I immediately jumped back into the Article and still see a lot of specific problems. And I would be honored to apply my skills to the awesome work you’ve done on getting this High-Importance Article this far!! Two issues: First, the timing is tough. I have many other pending obligations this week that will make it hard for me to be done by 9 pm Eastern tomorrow. Second, in the quarter since my April offer, I’ve doubled+ my edit total, learning a bit more every week. SO: here’s my proposal for us proceeding together now (which I very much want to do): No Sandbox (in the interests of time), but rather I would just jump in at the top and work my way down, as quickly as I can make the time work, edit by edit. THEN (using soccer metaphors): You (I propose) would Revert anything you see as a Red Card and we would hash it out in Talk if necessary. And you would go to Talk on this thread for anything you see as a Yellow Card, tagging me in the Talk Reply. On my other edits, no news is good news. WikiMagic will Notify me on any Reverts or Talk citations; I will see those on my phone and will respond ASAP. Does that work for you?? BUT this is a pretty huge article, and I may well be the bottleneck on timing — again, sorry! That’s for you and @ Kwkintegrator to work out: above my pay grade, but I will do my best to plow ahead. Thanks again for all your excellent work on this Article! Be well — Left Central ( talk) 14:58, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Well, Hell… embarrassing. I muddled the threads. Anyway, @ User:SecretName101 and @ User:Kwkintegrator, at least I did propose a copy-edit plan. Please just let me know if that makes sense. Best wishes! Left Central ( talk) 15:20, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
Thanks! Looks like we’re going with « direct in the article » plus Talk for discussion. Simpler for all 3 of us (plus, of course, anyone else who wants to cannonball into this swimming hole we’re in). 🙏🏼 Left Central ( talk) 21:27, 28 July 2022 (UTC)
At the moment I have no major edits planned. Unless further research (Every now and then I am digging up some harder to reach sources just to further cover my bases) leads to me find significant additions, I see none coming on my part. Happy to see Left Central contributing copy edits. SecretName101 ( talk) 21:52, 29 July 2022 (UTC)
Hi, I've noticed two articles on this same topic speak of two different results on voting on the Eleventh Article:
This article says: "The eleventh article saw a vote of *32–21* to convict, falling one vote short of the two-thirds majority needed for a conviction."
/info/en/?search=Impeachment_of_Andrew_Johnson#Verdict says the following: "The Senate was composed of 54 members representing 27 states [...] at the time of the trial. At its conclusion, senators voted on three of the articles of impeachment. On each occasion the vote was *35–19*, with 35 senators voting guilty and 19 not guilty. As the constitutional threshold for a conviction in an impeachment trial is a two-thirds majority guilty vote, 36 votes in this instance, Johnson was not convicted.
Which one of these is correct? FatMax1492 ( talk) 10:39, 26 November 2023 (UTC)
