Changin' Adams' Wikipedia Picture: Reboot

I'd like to propose a change in photographs: the partial citation at the bottom is of a colorized photograph of JQA that would make a more inspired visual (in my opinion). I think the candid setting and the quality of the colorization takes you back to 1840; it enriches the article. If there's a representational issue with using digitally or otherwise artificially colorized images than using "primary sources" then I'd just like to point out that the current daguerrotype displayed is visibly penciled in. Between the two images I think the colorized one is more appropriate.

In the section on his later congressional career appears the sentence: "After the crisis, Adams was convinced that Southerners exercised undue influence over the federal governmen [sic] through their control of Jackson's Democratic Party."

Photo captions

Several of the photo captions in the article give his name as “Quincy Adams”, implying that he had a double surname, when in fact his surname was just Adams Someonefromohio (talk) 19:58, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

I think that was a convention at the time to distinguish him from his father. Peaceray (talk) 20:35, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

But I don’t think it’s necessary now. If the article is about John Quincy Adams, it can reasonably be inferred that “Adams” is referring to John Quincy, and besides, the article text refers to him as Adams. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Someonefromohio (talk • contribs) 20:46, 5 May 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Error needing correction

If I knew how I'd fix it myself.

-== Possible category to be added ==
-I have created a new category, "Children who followed their parents as heads of state". John Quincy Adams fits the criteria. But Editor Drdpw feels that the article has too many categories and that this category is trivial. Many feel Wikipedia is becoming a hostile environment. I want this to be an exception. What the majority chooses will be acceptable with me. [[User:Pete unseth|Pete unseth]] ([[User talk:Pete unseth|talk]]) 14:15, 23 March 2022 (UTC)
