There are many short one-or-two-sentence paragraphs throughout the article. This makes the information difficult to read, and I am not sure that all of them are necessary in the article. These should be formatted better or evaluated for their inclusion. There is not much information about his early political career before his election to the House of Representatives. Is there any important information about the House campaign that should be included? The "Aftermath" section is almost entirely block quotes, which lowers readability for readers. I suggest that this information be summarised and removed or reduced. There is uncited prose throughout the article. Z1720 (talk) 22:36, 21 November 2024 (UTC)

Reactions about his death
After getting my account unconstitutionally banned for 31 hours, Wikipedia declared the truth about Dick.
"some notable figures denounced Cheney as a mass murderer and war criminal who faced no prosecution while alive."
It was obvious if Fox news who kept cheering for him mentioned that he is a war criminal, how about CNN and NBC?
Some comments were showing clearly "I'm feeling sorry for the devil because the devil will have to deal with him eternally"
Cartoons and caricatures are showing hell or vampires next to him ~2025-31333-03 (talk) 19:26, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
- "unconstitutionally" Oh, really? And which constitution gives you the right to post inflammatory comments in Wikipedia? Dimadick (talk) 23:38, 8 November 2025 (UTC)
- I didn't post
- I copied from fox news, not even from yahoo. ~2025-31333-03 (talk) 02:53, 9 November 2025 (UTC)
- Just a reminder for those of you who didn't pay attention in civics class, the First Amendment is designed to protect Americans from government retribution over speech. It has no bearing on Wikipedia's ban/block policies. --User:Khajidha (talk) (contributions) 20:21, 10 November 2025 (UTC)

Invalid semi-protection reason.
The semi-protection reason for this article says, "This article is semi-protected to promote compliance with the policy on biographies of living persons." This is no longer valid because Dick Cheney is no longer living. Minermatt122514 (talk) 00:05, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
- I fixed it. Minermatt122514 (talk) 03:54, 21 November 2025 (UTC)
