This article is written in American English, which has its own spelling conventions (color, defense, traveled) and some terms that are used in it may be different or absent from other varieties of English. According to the relevant style guide, this should not be changed without broad consensus.
I'd like to propose a change in photographs: the partial citation at the bottom is of a colorized photograph of JQA that would make a more inspired visual (in my opinion). I think the candid setting and the quality of the colorization takes you back to 1840; it enriches the article. If there's a representational issue with using digitally or otherwise artificially colorized images than using "primary sources" then I'd just like to point out that the current daguerrotype displayed is visibly penciled in. Between the two images I think the colorized one is more appropriate.
I'm sorry, but I do not believe it is possible, as the original owner of the image (The one who colorized the photo) has not made it available for Creative Commons on Wikimedia Commons, or has not made it Public Domain. All photos on Wikipedia are from Wikimedia Commons and all photos on Wikimedia are either licensed for use on Wikimedia by the original creator, or Public Domain for their respective reason. If you believe otherwise, please respond to this reply.
level-5 vital article is rated B-class on Wikipedia's content assessment scale.
