[edit]

Sock strike Please add Template:Conservatism US and Template:Christian nationalism US sidebar to the political positions section. He is mentioned in the former and the article clearly states that he is part of the latter. RideTheLightning99 (talk) 15:55, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Sidebars can easily clutter a page. In this case, those templates are typically more appropriate for articles on articles to concepts, movements, or foundational thinkers associated with those subjects. Mike Johnson may qualify for one of those sidebars, but we should be discerning when adding them. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:19, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
I had made attempts to add Johnson to the politicians section of the Christian Nationalism sidebar but my edits kept getting reverted because the reverter insisted that I add the sidebar to this page, which I am not able to do. If you go to the other politicians listed in the sidebar you can see the sidebar there. RideTheLightning99 (talk) 16:24, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
I don't see a statement in the Mike Johnson article that clearly states that he is a Christian nationalist. There's some adjacent statements, but a sourced assertion that he is a Christian nationalist would be required to consider adding that sidebar (really, we'd need quite a few sources statements indicating that Christian nationalism is a substantial element of Johnson's politics). Those sources may exist, and I would encourage you to add them here. However, in the meantime, I would encourage you to avoid sidebars—especially current politics sidebars—as they are often intersections of Wikipedia policies that can quickly cause issues for newer editors. ~ Pbritti (talk) 16:38, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
I don't believe that "Christian nationalist" needs to be explicitly stated, it can be inferred from the "adjacent statements" that you pointed out. As for additional sources, I am currently unable to add them as I am unable to edit the page. RideTheLightning99 (talk) 16:44, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
We don't write article content based on inferences. We write articles based on what sources state. cheers. anastrophe, an editor he is. 16:51, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply
Anastrophe is correct: associating Johnson with a political movement without reliable sources is a violation Wikipedia's policy on biographies of living persons. Unless you can find adequate reliable sourcing explicitly tying him to Christian nationalism, we can't add it to the article. ~ Pbritti (talk) 17:10, 25 October 2025 (UTC)Reply

Linking 54th, in the intro

[edit]

Concerning whether or not to link (for example) "54th" to List of speakers of the United States House of Representatives, in the lead. I can't remember exactly where, but a discussion was held (a few years ago) on whether or not to 'link' to such list pages, in the lead. The consensus was to not link. GoodDay (talk) 02:10, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

@GoodDay: I noticed you removed such links across multiple articles. I would encourage you to identify that discussion, as clear indication of its applicability here and to similar articles is relevant if you're making subject area-wide changes. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:28, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
I don't know if I can find it. I do recall that's why we removed such linkages from bios of US presidents, vice presidents, state governors, lieutenant governors, etc. GoodDay (talk) 03:12, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply
Using those clues as I search for this consensus. In the meantime, I did find this. Will keep looking. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 04:13, 15 November 2025 (UTC)Reply

Add missing 2016 election opponent and vote totals to ‘Elections’ subsection

[edit]

Change the sentence "Johnson won the election." to:

"Johnson was elected in the 2016 runoff, defeating Democratic nominee Marshall Jones with 87,370 votes (65%) to 46,579 votes (35%)."[1] TwixAU (talk) 15:10, 19 January 2026 (UTC)Reply

change the caption "official portrait", as it is not that at all; it's a crop of https://commons.wikimedia.org/wiki/File:Speaker_Mike_Johnson_Official_Portrait.jpg ~2026-29785-65 (talk) 00:50, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply

 Not done. The crop is of Johnson's official portrait. I see no basis for changing it in the infobox. Best, ~ Pbritti (talk) 02:51, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
its not the official portrait, its a crop of the official portrait. the caption should be adjusted accordingly ~2026-29785-65 (talk) 05:42, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
Yeah but still this is unchangable as per WP:INFOBOX. Please don't modify it again. Qshilks (talk) 10:28, 25 May 2026 (UTC)Reply
