Carter Center: ATLANTA (Feb. 18, 2023) — After a series of short hospital stays, former U.S. President Jimmy Carter today decided to spend his remaining time at home with his family and receive hospice care instead of additional medical intervention. He has the full support of his family and his medical team. The Carter family asks for privacy during this time and is grateful for the concern shown by his many admirers.

He is Baptist. Donald Albury 01:28, 19 February 2023 (UTC) Perhaps the editors should start preparing a draft of his Wikipedia article phrased in the past tense? 2600:4040:96F4:8A00:ED90:5578:AA5:B940 (talk) 12:05, 19 February 2023 (UTC) It's admittedly morbid and not what anybody wants. But it may be prudent in light of current events. 2600:4040:96F4:8A00:ED90:5578:AA5:B940 (talk) 12:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC) Wikipedia editors have been updating this article quite extensively over the last few days, and it is in very good condition. It will take less than 5 minutes to change tenses in this article when Mr. Carter dies, whether in 10 days or 10 years. We've got lots of experience in doing this, including adding the standard template. It is a bad idea to have multiple versions of an article around, because it is easy to "lose" updates and improvements to the main article. It's a pretty fundamental point that we don't maintain two versions of the same article. Risker (talk) 15:17, 19 February 2023 (UTC) I always get off so hard on knowing that, everytime something happens (big or small) that changes a celeb's Wikipedia page, many Wikidorks will be disappointed that *they* didn't get to be the one to do the update. I love the thought of so many pale Wikipedians hovered over their keyboards, praying in vain that *they'll* get to be the "herald-of-death," but they'll fail because another Wikipedian will be faster. This Schadenfreude really gets me revved up. 2601:14F:4400:A020:B0E9:22CC:B02C:9CF3 (talk) 16:13, 19 February 2023 (UTC) ...Are you okay? Mycranthebigman of Alaska ^_^ 18:27, 19 February 2023 (UTC) That is an understatement. I can't wait for "the voices made me do it" and "the clocks keep looking at me".

Carter ran as an outsider

He campaigned as the small town boy from rural Georgia, a simple peanut farmer... compared to well, Gerald Ford, member of Congress for 24 years, member of the Warren Commission etc etc.. AUSPOLLIE (talk) 10:46, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Could you please be more specific as to what you want changed? Would be helpful to know what exactly is being taken issue with in the article. Thanks. Planetberaure (talk) 17:50, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

Fascinating bias

He wrote extensively on Israel and apartheid and its not mentioned once? And when it's mentioned it's downgraded and written as "criticisms"? Makeandtoss (talk) 11:00, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I oppose the Palestinian leadership (much of it, particularly Islamic Jihad and Hamas, desire the expulsion or murder of the Jews (which obviously cannot be achieved with negotiation)) but MY views do not belong in the article and neither do yours. AUSPOLLIE (talk) 11:06, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

I didn't write anything of my views, you did. I wrote that Carter wrote a book where he criticized Israel's policies as apartheid, and wondered why that was not mentioned in the article, or even given any weight. Carter's views certainly do belong in his own biography. Makeandtoss (talk) 11:26, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

You'll need to provide secondary sources discussing this to demonstrate WP:DUEWEIGHT. ScottishFinnishRadish (talk) 20:24, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

... it's not mentioned once? And when it's mentioned ... Facepalm

Capitol portraits

The three African-American Georgians whose portraits Carter had publicly displayed were King, Henry McNeal Turner and Lucy Craft Laney. I have no suggestion as to how that should be incorporated in the article, but now you know. 67.180.143.89 (talk) 20:03, 19 February 2023 (UTC)

1943 is the start of his Naval service..

You have him starting his military service in 1946. That is not the truth. He joined the navy in June of 1943 with the US navy class of 1947. 2600:1015:A012:9074:E348:9FF:EFB6:4430 (talk) 06:58, 20 February 2023 (UTC)
