When was this page started?

This page is about the current Vice President of the United States. It is very important to keep it accurate. I have been checking to see when this page was started and cannot find any versions older than this, which is dated 28 January 2019.

Anyone? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 01:38, 20 January 2021 (UTC)

Merge to Kamala Harris

Kamala D Harris has been suggested for merge to this article. Only one quote, which I am moving to this article. Clearly no reason for the isolated fork created in December 2023 to exist. HouseOfChange (talk) 13:02, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

Agreed Ficaia (talk) 13:22, 26 July 2024 (UTC)

You really didn't need to make this a discussion and as an administrator you should have known that page should have never existed to begin with. Do you know about Wikiquote:Speedy deletions? CensoredScribe (talk) 00:58, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

My plan was to move the sole quote and then turn Kamala D Harris into a redirect. Ficaia, who could also have chosen to SD but did not, did the redirect before I got to it. Thanks for your feedback. HouseOfChange (talk) 02:02, 27 July 2024 (UTC)

@HouseOfChange: re:"Ficaia, who could also have chosen to SD".

The above implies that @Ficaia is an admin at enwq, because only admins can speedy delete pages, I think? Am I right? Ottawahitech (talk) 16:57, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

I for one appreciate admins who share information with the community instead of assuming that they know best. Just my $.02 Ottawahitech (talk) 16:50, 27 October 2024 (UTC)

Dispute concerning image quote added to lead sections

The DNC and its media organs engineered a surge of popularity for Vice President Harris based upon nothing. No policies, no interviews, no debates, only smoke and mirrors and balloons in a highly produced Chicago circus.I do interviews everyday. Everyone who asks gets to interview me. Sometimes I do 10 a day. President Trump also does many interviews. How could the Democrat Party choose a candidate who refuses to do an interview?~ Robert F Kennedy [1]

According to Wikiquote:Image use policy, "Multiple images should not be placed at the top in the lead section of an article."

Per BRD, a disputed addition to the article needs consensus if anyone objects to it. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

I have added that lengthy quote (divided in half to improve quotability) to the page for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. ('not Robert F. Kennedy as the original caption suggests. There is no reason the quote-halves couldn't be added also to the Quotes About section of this article for 2024. They don't belong at the top of the page, and the image has very low relevance to the quote. HouseOfChange (talk) 22:34, 25 August 2024 (UTC)

Referring to Trump as a she?

The October, 2024 quote by Harris from People (magazine) contains a factual error using "she" instead of "he". This is important for us at enwq because the he is Donald Trump.

In a conversation on the Call Your Daddy podcast, released Sunday, Oct. 6, host Alex Cooper asked the Democratic presidential candidate to respond to the Republican's controversial comments that her kids keep her "humble" while “Kamala Harris doesn’t have anything keeping her humble.” "I don't think she understands that, there are a whole lot of women out here who, one, are not aspiring to be humble, two, a whole lot of women out here who have a lot of love in their life, family in their life and children in their life," Harris, 59, said. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance, Ottawahitech (talk) 16:45, 27 October 2024 (UTC)
