Hello fellow Wikipedia Editors: Kindly consider including one sentence to the very end of this paragraph:
Presidency (1953-1961) Foreign policy In 1954, Eisenhower articulated the domino theory in his outlook towards communism in Southeast Asia and also in Central America. He believed that if the communists were allowed to prevail in Vietnam, this would cause a succession of countries to fall to communism, from Laos through Malaysia and Indonesia ultimately to India. Likewise, the fall of Guatemala would end with the fall of neighboring Mexico.[152] That year the loss of North Vietnam to the communists and the rejection of his proposed European Defence Community (EDC) were serious defeats, but he remained optimistic in his opposition to the spread of communism, saying "Long faces don't win wars".[153] As he had threatened the French in their rejection of EDC, he afterwards moved to restore West Germany, as a full NATO partner.[154]
Kindly consider inserting the following sentence (including the link to the article entitled cultural diplomacy) at the end of the paragraph shown above:
In 1954 he also induced Congress to create an Emergency Fund for International Affairs in order to support America's use of cultural diplomacy to strengthen international relations throughout Europe during the cold war. [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7]

It's been sitting there since the start of the year and I'm quite confused by it. The article is the same size as the John F. Kennedy article (which no one ever talks about reducing the size of) and is about a man who was in top positions of government for multiple decades. I don't understand how someone with such a notable, long and high ranking career would not have an article of about this size. I see it in the same vein as the Winston Churchill article, which had this same template placed on it before it was rightfully removed by @ Chaosdruid: who argued in favor of the article's size since Churchill was "one of THE most important people in British history, and because half of the article is refs". When I think about how long the Trump, Mike Pence or Barack Obama articles (people who all have had shorter political careers than Eisenhower but either close to or larger pages) are while we have editors trying to reduce the size of most if not all non-contemporary politician articles, it seems as if the site is pushing toward recentism and the only way to have a large article that editors don't decide to start mass removing content from because "the article CAN be shorter" is to either be President or Vice President after 2001. If I put

I noticed some mass deletions on the George H. W. Bush page and held my tongue because I had an issue with reverts on that article last year. With the recent mass deletion attempt here, it became quite clear that Orser67 is on some president-obsessed-deletion quest, defying both consensus and logic. Oftentimes there will be this claim of an article being "too long" while someone with a much shorter career like John F. Kennedy has a page of the same size or longer without issue, which either defies the logic of a shortening being needed or is just hypocrisy. More to the point, there was not a single attempt made by Orser to gather any consensus on doing this. As I stated here before, if I deleted tens of thousands of bytes of content from either the Kennedy article or that of another recent U.S. President "because I feel like it", I would get reverted and either warned of vandalism or mocked for doing such a thing. I'm still waiting for it to be articulated to me how a man (Kennedy) with a sixteen year career in elected office is allowed to have a larger article than men such as Eisenhower or Bush 41 with over thirty years. - Informant16 ( talk) 22:57, 26 November 2019 (UTC)
Hi all First of all, let's establish some common ground.
1. A discussion was underway about removing a "too long" banner. (see above)
2. The consensus of that discussion was to remove the banner.
3. The banner was removed.
4. Before the comment " might be moved", and while discussion was still underway, someone decided to just remove material from the article to sub articles (according to them, I have not checked to verifiy the move)
So, I have rolled back the deletion. This needs more discussion. I would have at least expected some sort of plan as to what should be considered for being moved, and what the new text would be - BEFORE ay action was taken.
Why? Because the consensus was to leave it as it was, even though it was NOT at a size that even warranted beign cut down.
So, let's have a new vote? Remove anything/leave it as it was after the banner was removed.
If there is consensus to remove material, what - and let's get consensus on that "remove/leave" before anyone goes against the status quo which was to ONLY remove the BANNER. Let's not keep this edit "conflict" going Chaosdruid ( talk) 20:40, 29 November 2019 (UTC)
NOTE - guys, this sort of thing muddles up the section above, so I have separated them.
THe section above is for the lead - and any other proposed changes.
The lead HAS TO REFLECT the article body, so anything removed below (from the article), needs to be removed from the lead - unless direct linking to the sub-article is created)
There is no consensus in this RfC owing to low participation.
In the Dwight D. Eisenhower article, there is a dispute over a recent . There are two main aspects to the edit: the amount of material cited to newspaper and internet sources was reduced in proportion to the amount of material cited to academic sources, and some of the material in the article was moved to subarticles (reducing readable prose size from 95kb to 75kb) pursuant to Wikipedia:Summary style and Wikipedia:Article size.

The name "Eisenhauer" does not mean "iron hewer/miner". The German word "Eisen" in this context refers to a pick (a miner's tool), not to the metal iron. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c5:320b:5501:b0a6:be5b:27d0:9825 ( talk) 02:04, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
The article mentions that President Eisenhower threatened using nuclear weapons to end the Korean War. This claim is disputed. [1] Here are the mentions in the current Wikipedia article:
Eisenhower's issuance of a threat is disputed. In his Washington Post article of August 11, 2017, historian William I. Hitchcock writes:
I am marking the statements as disputed in the article with a reference to this talk section.-- A.T.S. in Texas ( talk) 17:02, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Reflecting on the debate, I was only able to locate sources that either linked back to this Wikipedia page or that couldn't corroborate any material threats of nuclear force. I have taken the liberty of citing a Presidential Studies Quarterly [3] article and editing the page to clarify the matter, reflecting the apparent reality that, while the consideration of the Eisenhower administration of the usage of nuclear weapons is fact, any outright threats communicated to the People's Republic of China have yet to have evidence unearthed. LonelyProgrammer ( talk) 08:41, 27 August 2021 (UTC)
References
The trouble is, it never happened. Ike's nuclear bluff, and its supposed success at ending the hostilities, is a dangerous myth, one that gave later presidents false confidence in the effectiveness of nuclear intimidation.
The accomplishments section lists him as the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe from 1951 - 1952, and doesn’t even mention the role from 1943 to 1945. He was named Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces in 1951 - 1952, and there should be some mention about the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe during the war SOMEWHERE. 2600:1700:70CA:5640:C1F4:FAB:DD10:88A5 ( talk) 15:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)

"In 1953, he considered using nuclear weapons to end the Korean War, and may have threatened China with nuclear attack if an armistice was not reached quickly. China did agree and an armistice resulted which remains in effect."
While this threat has been discussed a lot, I am not aware it being the main reason for the end of the war, which the writing of the sentence seems to imply by omitting all the other reasons as to why an armistice might have been reached. I think a better version of this paragraph would be to leave out any specifics and just simply state more or less that the war ended during his administration.

Hi,
Please change “”Swede" Hazlett” to “Edward E. "Swede" Hazlett”.”.
Part of the section on Eisenhower planning to go to college by switching off years, explains the brother not going to school earns money for their going to school the next year.
“When Edgar asked for a second year, Dwight consented and worked for a second year. At that time, a friend "Swede" Hazlett was applying to the Naval Academy and urged Dwight to apply to the school, since no tuition was required.”
The hotlink given above in Eisenhower’s wiki simply says “”Swede" Hazlett”. Only when clicked do we found out his full correct name is “Edward E. "Swede" Hazlett”.
Thank you.

Currently the section "In service of generals", which covers Eisenhower's career between World War I and World War II, is a section within the "World War I" chapter. Nothing in this section has anything to do with World War I; it should be a chapter in its own right, at the same level as the "World War I" and "World War II" chapters, and renamed as "Between the World Wars: In service of generals (1918–1941)". The "In service of generals" phrase is an accurate characterization of Eisenhower's inter-war years, so it makes sense to keep it in the chapter title.
Also, the starting year of the "World War II" chapter should be changed from 1939 to 1941, the year that the U.S. actually became a combatant.
I'm happy to make these changes myself, but before doing so, I thought it would be appropriate to give others a chance to comment on them since this is a fairly high-profile article. RHodnett ( talk) 05:21, 6 October 2022 (UTC)

The name "Eisenhauer" does not mean "iron hewer/miner". The German word "Eisen" in this context refers to a pick (a miner's tool), not to the metal iron. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2a00:23c5:320b:5501:b0a6:be5b:27d0:9825 ( talk) 02:04, 23 August 2021 (UTC)
The article mentions that President Eisenhower threatened using nuclear weapons to end the Korean War. This claim is disputed. [1] Here are the mentions in the current Wikipedia article:
Eisenhower's issuance of a threat is disputed. In his Washington Post article of August 11, 2017, historian William I. Hitchcock writes:
I am marking the statements as disputed in the article with a reference to this talk section.-- A.T.S. in Texas ( talk) 17:02, 30 January 2021 (UTC)
Reflecting on the debate, I was only able to locate sources that either linked back to this Wikipedia page or that couldn't corroborate any material threats of nuclear force. I have taken the liberty of citing a Presidential Studies Quarterly [3] article and editing the page to clarify the matter, reflecting the apparent reality that, while the consideration of the Eisenhower administration of the usage of nuclear weapons is fact, any outright threats communicated to the People's Republic of China have yet to have evidence unearthed.

The trouble is, it never happened. Ike's nuclear bluff, and its supposed success at ending the hostilities, is a dangerous myth, one that gave later presidents false confidence in the effectiveness of nuclear intimidation.
The accomplishments section lists him as the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe from 1951 - 1952, and doesn’t even mention the role from 1943 to 1945. He was named Supreme Allied Commander of NATO forces in 1951 - 1952, and there should be some mention about the Supreme Allied Commander of Europe during the war SOMEWHERE. 2600:1700:70CA:5640:C1F4:FAB:DD10:88A5 ( talk) 15:50, 8 December 2021 (UTC)
I recommend that you add the post nominal initials RE before GCB as he is entitled to use them, being a knight of the Order of the Elephant. I also reccomend that the title His Excellency be added, as this is also given to the knights of the Order of the Elephant.

"In 1953, he considered using nuclear weapons to end the Korean War, and may have threatened China with nuclear attack if an armistice was not reached quickly. China did agree and an armistice resulted which remains in effect."
While this threat has been discussed a lot, I am not aware it being the main reason for the end of the war, which the writing of the sentence seems to imply by omitting all the other reasons as to why an armistice might have been reached. I think a better version of this paragraph would be to leave out any specifics and just simply state more or less that the war ended during his administration. The details could be left to the rest of the article Rousillon ( talk) 23:20, 13 June 2022 (UTC)

Hi,
Please change “”Swede" Hazlett” to “Edward E. "Swede" Hazlett”.”.
Part of the section on Eisenhower planning to go to college by switching off years, explains the brother not going to school earns money for their going to school the next year.
“When Edgar asked for a second year, Dwight consented and worked for a second year. At that time, a friend "Swede" Hazlett was applying to the Naval Academy and urged Dwight to apply to the school, since no tuition was required.”
The hotlink given above in Eisenhower’s wiki simply says “”Swede" Hazlett”. Only when clicked do we found out his full correct name is “Edward E. "Swede" Hazlett”.
Thank you.

Currently the section "In service of generals", which covers Eisenhower's career between World War I and World War II, is a section within the "World War I" chapter. Nothing in this section has anything to do with World War I; it should be a chapter in its own right, at the same level as the "World War I" and "World War II" chapters, and renamed as "Between the World Wars: In service of generals (1918–1941)". The "In service of generals" phrase is an accurate characterization of Eisenhower's inter-war years, so it makes sense to keep it in the chapter title.
Also, the starting year of the "World War II" chapter should be changed from 1939 to 1941, the year that the U.S. actually became a combatant.
I'm happy to make these changes myself, but before doing so, I thought it would be appropriate to give others a chance to comment on them since this is a fairly high-profile article. RHodnett ( talk) 05:21, 6 October 2022 (UTC)
