 | John Quincy Adams was a History good articles nominee, but did not meet the good article criteria at the time. There may be suggestions below for improving the article. Once these issues have been addressed, the article can be renominated. Editors may also seek a reassessment of the decision if they believe there was a mistake. | |||||||||

Can someone take a look at reference #76? If I try to fix it I'm liable to break the references even further. Thanks a bunch! -- Sleyece (talk) 12:19, 15 September 2020 (UTC)
Changing Adams' Wikipedia picture
So yesterday I changed the Wikipedia picture of John Quincy Adams from a black and white photograph of Adams to a color painting. The reason for this change was because the photograph of John Quincy Adams was taken after he was president, while the painting was made while he was president. --Helloguyswhatisup (talk) 20:53, 28 December 2020 (UTC)
EDIT: My edit was recently reversed, why? --Helloguyswhatisup (talk) 16:40, 30 December 2020 (UTC)
- Probably because: #1) Its is the article LEDE graphic and those kinds of changes should usually be discussed here first; and #2) Photos are prioritized over paintings in the encyclopedia. You can start such a discussion here, but if you check the archives above, you'll see this has been discussed before, and it's very probable that discussion still wouldn't result in an IAR situation here.

The painting of John Quincy Adams I used may have actually been from after John Quincy Adams left office, as the Wikimedia Commons page for that painting put the date as "circa 1820s-1830s", so does anybody know of a painting that was made between 1825 and 1829? --Helloguyswhatisup (talk) 22:57, 5 February 2021 (UTC)
