Rework of table
editI'd like to change the existing table, primarily to make it sortable by (notably) pet type. There's currently no way to easily find all Presidents with horses or pigs or dogs.
To do that, I propose having the following columns
- President & pictures - would sort by order in office. Each would span the rows containing their pets.
- Name - would have the name of the pet. I think that some would have multiple names, such as "Him & Her". Each pet would typically have its own row.
- Type - would have a general type, followed by a dash and a more specific type/breed. This would allow for a sort, letting you see, for instance, all dogs sorted together. Or see all dogs that are spaniels. Examples:
- Dog - Spaniel
- Bird - Parrot
- Cow - Durham
- Notes - This would contain any notes on the specific pet.
It would take quite a lot of work, but would be interesting. But before starting, I'd appreciate feedback, as I'd hate to spend all of the hours doing it only to have someone revert it. RSStockdale (talk) 22:31, 22 March 2023 (UTC)
- I don't think pictures of the presidents are necessary. But otherwise, the proposed changes sound fine. SilverTiger12 (talk) 00:11, 23 March 2023 (UTC)
- I wasn't thinking of pictures of the Presidents. I was thinking of the pictures that are currently in the table, although a few do show the President along with the pet. RSStockdale (talk) 12:07, 23 March 2023 (UTC)

Non-presidential & non-pet
editThe Mongolian horse was presented to Biden when he was VP and remained in Mongolia. I modified the entry accordingly (source provided: LA Times), but perhaps it should be deleted altogether. --136.54.237.174 (talk) 19:03, 3 October 2024 (UTC)
