Speculation about being named Ambassador to the United Nations by Joe Biden[edit]

I think we should consider changing the article so it states that Greenfield is the nominee for United States Ambassador to the United Nations. --JG4236 (talk) 03:24, 23 November 2020 (UTC)[reply]

The subject's name is spelt incorrectly[edit]

Her name should be spelt "Linda Thomas-Greenfeld." Most online articles and documents suggest that her last name is spelt "Thomas-Greenfield", although congress.gov spells it as "Thomas-Greenfeld." Please see this link. — Preceding unsigned comment added by MrOinkingPig (talk • contribs) 17:03, 2 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Confusing reference to the "Algerian resolution"[edit]

"However, the Algerian resolution did demand "immediate and unconditional release of all hostages.[39]"

The paragraph doesn't clarify that the Algerian resolution is the same as the aforementioned third resolution, and suddenly referring to it as such implies that it's a separate resolution. It also repeats the citation from Reuters. This last sentence was probably added by a different editor to amend the paragraph and provide context, and as it's properly cited, the word "Algerian" should be removed (or moved to the beginning of the paragraph) and the paragraph should have a single citation.

Friendly reminder that the purpose of a lock is to prevent vandalism, not to let an unpolished article about a prominent U.N. ambassador collect dust. 2603:7081:1603:A300:43F9:FBFF:AEE0:8483 (talk) 03:48, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Done Clarified, left repeat cite. Citations are often repeated, especially with quotes, so that text–source integrity is maintained. Wracking ^talk! 06:13, 4 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Disinvitation from the University of Vermont[edit]

Suggested addition to the end of the "Tenure" section:

On May 3, 2024 the University of Vermont rescinded its earlier invitation to Thomas-Greenfield to give the 2024 commencement address.^[1] WLior (talk) 06:41, 6 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Added along with today's news of Xavier University also removing her as commencement speaker. Funcrunch (talk) 19:44, 9 May 2024 (UTC)[reply]
