Source from Bangor Daily News[edit]

If someone could source the article about a grassroots campaign to draft Olympia Snow to run for President...that would be helpful, since the previous link was broken.

Protection request entered[edit]

I have put in a request for this article to be protected, as it seems to be a target of someone using University of Maine public computers to put vulgar words and phrases in the article. Warnings on one IP address had no effect; another was recently used, suggesting they started using another computer. 331dot (talk) 22:29, 14 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

A two-week pending-change protection was put in place. 331dot (talk) 11:09, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

New Picture?[edit]

Do we have to use that picture for her? This current one(the one at the top right of the page) looks kinda... bad. Kude90 (talk) 11:15, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

That was her last official Senate photo. I'm not the expert but I think it's much easier to use that than other photos since it is public domain(being from the government). 331dot (talk) 11:37, 15 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I have just added archive links to one external link on Olympia Snowe. Please take a moment to review my edit. If necessary, add {{cbignore}} after the link to keep me from modifying it. Alternatively, you can add {{nobots|deny=InternetArchiveBot}} to keep me off the page altogether. I made the following changes:

Involvement in health care reform[edit]

I think there should be an expansion of the description of Snowe's involvement in health care reform, including material from Obama's forthcoming memoir. An excerpt just appeared in the New Yorker. Ishboyfay (talk) 23:24, 26 October 2020 (UTC)[reply]
