elaboration needed Indian bureau of affairs[edit]

1 sentence is not enough I don't think. Could be worthy of a subsection 2001:569:5017:6D00:CFCB:96C2:22A9:6A47 (talk) 18:31, 1 February 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"Landslide"[edit]

The use of the word "landslide" to describe Hoovers victory is vague, and in the US Electoral system could mean mearly hiting 50% +1, which is the bare minimum in other election systems. I suggest removing the word "landslide" and replacing it with how much he won by, or changing landslide to a link to the wiki article that explains the term.

Fix the title of the Burner citation from "Herbert Hoover: The Public Life" to "Herbert Hoover: A Public Life" Some sources such as ^[1] show the title as "The Public Life", but the book image clearly shows "A Public Life".

The new citation would be:

Burner, David (1996) [1979]. Herbert Hoover: A Public Life. Easton Press. Originally published as Burner, David (1979). Herbert Hoover: A Public Life. Knopf Doubleday. ISBN 978-0-394-46134-2. GrapesRock (talk) 17:59, 1 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
