This passage from source 105 is worded poorly, making the statement incorrect. It currently reads:
"At the 2004 Republican National Convention, Schwarzenegger gave a speech and explained that he was a Republican because he believed the Democrats of the 1960s sounded too much like Austrian socialists."[105]
After reviewing the source material, the passage should read as follows:
"At the 2004 Republican National Convention, Schwarzenegger gave a speech and explained that he was a Republican because he believed the Democrats sounded too much like Austrian socialists of the 1960s."[105]
He referenced that present day Democrats sound like Austrian Socialists and he talks about being in Austria in the 1960s. He does not bring up Democrats of the 1960s. 50.27.174.180 (talk) 23:53, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
Having read through it a few times, I think the current wording is correct. He's talking about what happened in 1968. He listened to (his friend's translation of) Humphrey, then heard (his friend's translation of) Nixon, and decided to be a Republican. So it was the 1968 Democratic nominee that reminded him of Austrian socialists. Schazjmd(talk)00:01, 7 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
The Guardian article doesn't say that he was involved in the founding of the Climate Group. The original statement in the article is "... a meeting in Long Beach organised by Steve Howard, CEO of the Climate Group, an international charity working to cut greenhouse gas emissions...".

I want to add the Kids Choice Award for Favourite Movie Actor in Awards for Arnold Schwarzenegger, but when I add it and test preview, it replaces some links with this: “The time allocated for running scripts has expired.” What does that mean and how an I doing to add the link to the page? Movieknower59 (talk) 03:49, 27 March 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I put it back but tagged it as "usurped" which prevents the original link from being seen and forces the archive link, which is valid, to be used. Geraldo Perez (talk) 07:56, 28 August 2024 (UTC)[reply]
@Muboshgu I noticed you reverted my edit where I placed an image of Schwarzenegger in 1984 into the infobox, replacing one from 2019. You said it's "standard to use a more current image for a living subject." What is the policy for this? Jimmy Carter's article has an image from 1978, so clearly exceptions exist. ―Howard • 🌽3317:28, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
POTUS is a standard exception, where we use their official portraits. I think the current image is better than the 1984 image. See if you can form a WP:CONSENSUS for the older image. – Muboshgu (talk) 17:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It is a general convention to have a good quality image that most reflects the current appearance of a living person as they go though life in the infobox. Other images related to a stage of life usually are in the appropriate place in the article. After death there will be a discussion of what representative image to use to replace it. Carter as a former president chose to use the official presidential portrait because of that. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:36, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
I think this should be laid out in some kind of policy page. "General convention" is going to invite unnecessary arguments. ―Howard • 🌽3317:41, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
It generally leads to a discussion and some local consensus reached of what to use in a particular article. It isn't a hard rule. A lot of times getting good free-use images is very hard and we need to go with what we can get. When we have many good images people will have differing opinions on which is best to use and a lot of times the latest isn't it. Geraldo Perez (talk) 17:49, 10 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
