At over 16k words of readable prose, this article is too long to read and navigate comfortably. See
WP:TOOBIG. Detailed content should be condensed or
moved to subarticles.

The "Foreign Policy" section should be trimmed per
WP:SUMMARY. Too much material there as a summary of the main article at
Foreign policy of the Dwight D. Eisenhower administration, which makes the section overweight relative to level of coverage in the rest of the article. That trim will have the side benefit of addressing the TOOBIG concern.
VQuakr (
talk) 00:37, 30 November 2023 (UTC)reply
I disagree; it takes up only half of the presidency section, and foreign policy was the major focus of his administration; I don't think it would be given enough weight if trimmed further.
DFlhb (
talk) 01:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)reply
This is incorrect.
WP:WEIGHT is not an issue since a main article exists; breaking subarticles in summary style is not a weight violation. The summary-level that remains here is supposed to be shortened.

Birth name
SNUGGUMS,
WP:BIRTHNAMES says that the birth name is only required to be mentioned in the lead when there has been a change in surname. Otherwise, including the birth name is optional, espexially when the individual was not notable under that name. Eisenhower's name was changed shortly after his birth, and he does not have any notability during his infancy.

I would like to request that the word "by" be added to the first sentence in the second paragraph under the subsection "Interstate Highway Act" which is in turn under the "Presidency (1953-1961)" section. This first sentence is grammatically incorrect without it.
