Murdered??
[edit]Article about the new-to-me theory that Harding was murdered by his wife, Mrs. Harding:
- In 1930, with the assistance of a ghostwriter, May Dixon Thacker, Means published a book, The Strange Death of President Harding (New York: Guild Publishing Corporation, 1930), which suggested that Mrs. Harding had killed her husband to prevent his impeachment and protect his legacy, which would have been tarnished by revelations about his philandering and the deep corruption in his administration which was in the process of being exposed.[27]
I'll leave assessment and further research on this to others. 2601:644:8584:2010:0:0:0:5FA4 (talk) 17:01, 8 August 2023 (UTC)
- Hundreds of professional historians have done research on Harding. Zero believe the murder claim. it fringe and defunct in the reliable sources. Rjensen (talk) 17:14, 8 August 2023 (UTC)

Not urgent.
Please change the text in the infobox following "Succeeded by Calvin Coolidge" to "Succeeded by Calvin Coolidge" (as the hyperlink to the article of Calvin Coolidge).
In the infobox, following "Succeeded by," the name "Calvin Coolidge" is not a link to the article for Calvin Coolidge. The name is linked above, after "Vice President" but to keep consistency with other articles of former presidents, I suggest turning this text into the hyperlink for the article on Calvin Coolidge (https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=Calvin_Coolidge&oldid=1174587415). This will also help with clarity, for someone simply looking through the list of presidents and not reading deeply into the article.
Apologies for unnecessary info, this is my first edit request. 2603:8080:500:285B:19E5:9F71:AFFC:51DC (talk) 07:41, 23 September 2023 (UTC)
Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. — Paper9oll (🔔 • 📝) 13:10, 23 September 2023 (UTC)

In the section about Mr. Hardings death it says that his wife was reading to him at “7:30 p.m. in the evening”. Is that as opposed to 7:30 P.M. in the morning? PM means, by definition, that 7:30 is either evening or night, depending on one’s perspective, making it redundant to say evening. 2601:603:2082:3F70:29C1:9B33:7D94:6A5A (talk) 19:22, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
- Good catch. "pm" deleted. Suspect someone got overprecise.--Wehwalt (talk) 19:32, 31 December 2023 (UTC)
Photo's date
[edit]Photo's date backs to c. 1905, as is mentioned in its details. – Hamid Hassani (talk) 22:37, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
- Which photo? Wehwalt (talk) 22:51, 29 March 2024 (UTC)
Harding's voice
[edit]The audio source where he talks about the League of Nations (in the Foreign Policy section) is much better than the one currently in the infobox. Should it replace the current infobox audio? QuickSlapper (talk) 21:40, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Where would we put the current infobox one? Wehwalt (talk) 21:43, 3 August 2024 (UTC)
- Since the current infobox recording is dated 1920, perhaps it could be moved to the ʻPresidential election of 1920ʻ section. —ADavidB 15:29, 6 August 2024 (UTC)
