People's Party was centrist-agarian, and Toomas Henrik Ilves was never a conservative. He was and are center-leftist in his life in America. Well, now a socialdemocrat. At least the media interviews in Estonian media about People's Party and his political background subject prove it. People's Party joined in 1999 with Moderates. And they had a united parties magazine since 1998 and united electoral cartel in the 1999. Parliament Election in Estonia.

Hello. If he was born in 1953, presidents of Montenegro Filip Vujanović (b.1954), Serbia Boris Tadić (b.1958), Republic of Macedonia Branko Crvenkovski (b.1962) and Bulgaria Georgi Purvanov (b.1957) are younger. PajaBG 22:04, 23 September 2006 (UTC)
When Tony Blair was elected as UK Prime Minister in May 1997, he was only 44; and as some of those heads of state above are even younger whilst in mind-servitude, Iives is not the youngest elected anything. SKC 02:39, September 24th 2006 (UTC)
The infobox says "Incumbent", when Ilves isn't really in office yet. I don't know how to fix this, could someone help replace it with "President-elect"? -- Rain74 05:10, 25 September 2006 (UTC)
Is that his real photo, as there is a very striking resemblance to Phil Hartman. 69.158.154.38 22:23, 25 September 2006 (UTC)

A previously 'stateless' but long term resident of Estonia friend of mine who used up all savings and struggled for years to learn Estonian complains that the president was not born in Estonia and probably has not passed the Estonian language tests that other people are being forced to do to hold down public office in Estonia. Does anyone know if this is true? This article confirms he was not born in Estonia and was not a long term resident either - so how come he is president? Ray3055 ( talk) 12:13, 5 January 2008 (UTC)
Someone repeatedly inserts a passage that he does not know Russian. Is that correct? Frankly speaking, I do not think this is relevant, especially since he knows six other European languages. Biophys ( talk) 03:14, 13 May 2008 (UTC)

Just a minor item but maybe belongs in career section, along with his role as a poet while in North America....I met him at least once, as he was a close associate of my friend Wayne Holder, an American expat then living in Vancouver. This memoir of the Literary Storefront by poet Mona Fertig mentions him and his role in the Storefront in passing, perhaps there's more out there...a google for "Wayne Holder" will also bring up links to the Hoover Archives' "Holder Papers", which deal with Estonian literature and political resistance etc, which may be worthwhile as an article. If Mr Ilves or his aides monitor this article perhaps there's more they could add in the way of citations/suggestions...adn if Wayne Holder or one of his associates happesn to read this, please email me with the link at left on userpage.

There is no mention of Ilves' Ärma farm and corruption related to that. The topic of his 'questionable' transactions spans two decades (starting with an apartment he privatized for about 8000 kroons in the 1990s and sold for 2 mil less than a year later) and has been widely reported in the newspapers. As a result, I believe it deserves coverage. 90.191.91.177 ( talk) 14:17, 16 July 2013 (UTC)
Is his leadership considered authoritarian? Mr. Guye ( talk)
It's pretty obvious that Mr. Ilves is Estonian American - even though he was born in Sweden, he was raised and educated in America and speaks fluent English with an American accent. All the dates in this article should be changed to mm.dd.yy format and the relevant categories should be added. Heepman1997 ( talk) 08:49, 9 April 2016 (UTC)
Evidently, the Bureau of Estonian President has a weird IT policy that basically initiates massive link rot and replaces all data about the previous president with the new one as soon as elections are over. Currently, most of the references in this article have become obsolete and have to be replaced by links to Internet Archive. I shall add similar warning to the talk page of the new president, Kersti Kaljulaid. -- Oop ( talk) 13:03, 13 October 2016 (UTC)
Why is there nothing about his twitter feud with Paul Krugman (which received a lot of coverage in English-language media, and was even turned into an opera)? -- AnonMoos ( talk) 01:08, 7 February 2021 (UTC)
