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.

- I'm sorry, but I do not believe it is possible, as the original owner of the image (The one who colorized the photo) has not made it available for Creative Commons on Wikimedia Commons, or has not made it Public Domain. All photos on Wikipedia are from Wikimedia Commons and all photos on Wikimedia are either licensed for use on Wikimedia by the original creator, or Public Domain for their respective reason. If you believe otherwise, please respond to this reply.

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."
"governmen" should be changed to "government" MrFunEGUY (talk) 03:16, 19 April 2022 (UTC)

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)
- I think that was a convention at the time to distinguish him from his father. Peaceray (talk) 20:35, 5 May 2022 (UTC)
- 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)
Error needing correction
If I knew how I'd fix it myself.
