I disagree; it takes up only half of the presidency section, and foreign policy was the major focus of his administration; I don't think it would be given enough weight if trimmed further. DFlhb (talk) 01:16, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
This is incorrect. WP:WEIGHT is not an issue since a main article exists; breaking subarticles in summary style is not a weight violation. The summary-level that remains here is supposed to be shortened. VQuakr (talk) 17:25, 30 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
SNUGGUMS, WP:BIRTHNAMES says that the birth name is only required to be mentioned in the lead when there has been a change in surname. Otherwise, including the birth name is optional, espexially when the individual was not notable under that name. Eisenhower's name was changed shortly after his birth, and he does not have any notability during his infancy. Векочел (talk) 01:03, 14 July 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I would like to request that the word "by" be added to the first sentence in the second paragraph under the subsection "Interstate Highway Act" which is in turn under the "Presidency (1953-1961)" section. This first sentence is grammatically incorrect without it.
Eisenhower's goal to create improved highways was influencedbyhis involvement in the Army's 1919 Transcontinental Motor Convoy.Wkwyl (talk) 18:47, 7 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Please fully describe reference supporting Eisenhower being a democrat (the first citation) with something along the lines of this reference [1].
The way that I know that it was published in Volume 13 of Kansas History is that on page 264 of the Volume 13, 1990 index (which can be found on this site [2]), has the title of the linked Ferrell piece on the pages shown in the PDF of the piece. GrapesRock (talk) 18:41, 2 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Randy Kryn and Alaska asiis: Even in its present form, with just "World War II general" prepended, the short description is too long. The standard test for the length threshold is to type "Dwig" in the Wikipedia search box. You get a list of articles whose names begin with those characters, and each article name is followed by the short description of the article. If a short description is truncated, it's too long. Of course this might depend on which "skin" you use when you're in Wikipedia on your computer. As I write this, doing the test on my home computer, the short description for Dwight Eisenhower is truncated, so I don't see the years of his presidency.
