In the beginning of this article the phrase "Former United States Marine" is used. As a fellow Marine and patriot I would like to change this to "United States Marine". The Marine Corps has a mantra (Once a Marine, always a Marine). This is shown in our motto "Semper Fi" (Always Faithful). This was just a small grammar error I noticed while reviewing this article. Here is the part of the text that needs changed (James David Vance (born James Donald Bowman;[a] August 2, 1984) is an American politician, author, and former United States Marine who is the vice president-elect of the United States. A member of the Republican Party, he has served since 2023 as the junior United States senator from Ohio. He was Donald Trump's running mate in the 2024 presidential election.)

Not done: please provide reliable sources that support the change you want to be made. EvergreenFir (talk) 05:59, 8 November 2024 (UTC)
Political positions image
editUnder political positions, the image labeled "New Flag of the Republican Party" is a flag of Nazi Germany. It says only certain people may edit his page. 47.34.156.32 (talk) 19:49, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

-Request to remove 'New Flag of the Republican Party' under section 'Political positions'. Flag displays Nazi swastika and does not accurately reflect the flag of the republican party, an elephant with the top half being blue containing three stars and bottom half being solid blue, encompassed in a white background. 2600:6C65:757F:AE28:E0DF:430B:47A3:DB6C (talk) 19:51, 9 November 2024 (UTC)

Birth
editHi there,
According to https://apnews.com/article/election-2024-republicans-vice-president-vance-name-359c3d1361c94f5d2d1e9798b7854477
“He was born James Donald Bowman in Middletown, Ohio, on Aug. 2, 1984, his middle and last names the same as his biological father, Donald Bowman. His parents split up “around the time I started walking,” he writes. When he was about 6, his mother, Beverly, married for the third time. He was adopted by his new stepfather, Robert Hamel, and his mother renamed him James David Hamel.
When his mother erased Donald Bowman from his and her lives, the adoption process also erased the name James Donald Bowman from the public record. The only birth certificate for Vance on file at Ohio’s vital statistics office reads James David Hamel, according to information provided by the state.”
According to Wikipedia, here is his birth certificate:

It seems that he actually was not born with the surname “Bowman” but already as “Hamel”?
(And not as James Donald but already as “James David”?)
And that her mother was already married to Robert Hamel when he was born, according to this birth certificate?

In person life, change "...as she is Hindu and he Christian" to "...as she is Hindu and he is Christian", I think it's a typo :) Fishy-Finns (talk) 22:29, 10 November 2024 (UTC)
- Done... - Adolphus79 (talk) 16:13, 11 November 2024 (UTC)
Should the page be moved to "J. D. Vance"?
editI feel like the current title is a bit informal and changing it to "J. D. Vance" or something similar would not only look better but would also be more consistent with other Wikipedia articles using this name format. I thought it would be a good idea to discuss the idea before making a formal move request, though. Any thoughts? TypoEater (talk) 14:53, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
- This topic was hashed out at length in July. See the page move discussion. Carguychris (talk) 15:01, 25 November 2024 (UTC)
