:::Yes, I agree with the prospect of it being included in a footnote or a see also link. I actually wouldn't object to having it at [[Template:Barack Obama]], I was simply unsure whether it would be undue weight or not to include it. You are correct that it has received a lot of media attention, I just wasn't sure if it was as notable to be included along with things such as his early life, his transition, his candidacy, etc. <tt class="plainlinks">[[User:Khoikhoi|Khoi]][[User talk:Khoikhoi|khoi]]</tt> 02:34, 15 December 2008 (UTC) |

Graphic in box header
I really don't think the pixel image of Obama should be in the template. The article included in this series all have plenty of images, so it does not add anything and, IMO, distracts from the informative nature of the series box. I think it should be removed. --Evb-wiki (talk) 02:18, 1 December 2008 (UTC)
- Disagree. The image in the box helps visually identify that this is part of a series, much the myriad info-boxes such New York Elections, etc., the nav boxes such as "Marine Corps", "Department of the Navy" etc. which use flags and official seals as visual cues that this is part of a larger work.

Accessibility of "Wingnut Info"
The wikilink to the citizenship controversy ought to be wikilinked somewhere in the Obama articles. It's being discussed here. I would think that a "see also" in the image article would be appropriate, but others have disagreed. What do you think? Incidentally, I put it into this template at the suggestion of another editor.[1]Ferrylodge (talk) 01:27, 15 December 2008 (UTC)
- I think it could be at Template:Barack Obama instead, but honestly I'm not even sure if it's worthy to be linked there. In my opinion, these conspiracy theories are pretty fringe to be included with the rest of the stuff in this template. Most of these theories are on the internet (i.e. YouTube), and even though there are several lawsuits, the mainstream media organizations dismissed these claims long agao.
