Scm83x (talk · contribs) blew away interesting details when reverting this article, details not present in any other article. I'm about to resurrect them, and await a discussion here as to whether they belong here or in a section of the White House page. 66.167.139.201 20:01, 18 December 2005 (UTC).
I don't believe its a slam dunk that a West Wing article should be separate from the White House article. But here are some reasons in favor of this approach:
66.167.139.201 20:07, 18 December 2005 (UTC).
Having a separate article would warrant moving some details from the current section of the White House article to here, for completeness. 66.167.139.201 20:09, 18 December 2005 (UTC).
I've edited the disambiguation phrases at the top of both this article and the other one in this disambiguation pair. The previous wordings seemed too wordy and clumsy. They didn't flow from the title, and the first sentences of the articles ended up repeating what was in the disambiguation phrases, making the writing feel redundant and obstructing the flow of reading the article. The disambiguation page The West Wing also needs tidying up to conform to the style of disambig pages. Carcharoth 10:52, 21 March 2006 (UTC)
Why is there a list of current occupants of the West Wing? This is an article about the structure, not the current administration using it. If anything, it should just be labeled "current occupants" and not reference the particular administration. (See WP:RECENT). --ZimZalaBim (talk) 16:30, 8 July 2007 (UTC)
The list of occupants is useful to my mind, as it demonstrates how the building actually functions. In the Obama administration, the speech writers are kept with the photographer, the President and Vice President almost next door to each other, etc. I think a building is not just the structure, but how it is used and who works in it, and who is moved to a building across the road as they don't need to be "on hand". Given the prevalence of fictional accounts of how the building works and the difference to the reality, I think it serves a very useful purpose.

Should mention of the West Wing (or White House in general) technology challenges be mention in this or the White House Article? Its been reported several times now in mainstream news outlets that many Obama staffers were surprised that the White House had antiquated computers and communications technology, a few such articles mention specifically the West Wing.
I believe due to the press its getting and due to the heavy influence of technology in government and in individual lives that this is relevant enough to be mentioned, but only if we can make a coherent, wiki-standards meeting section out of it in either the West Wing article or White House article.

The link for Jon Favreau (West Wing - Ground Floor) links to the actor, but should link to http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jon_Favreau_(speechwriter) - can someone edit this properly? I've tried but I can't seem to figure it out. Any direction on how this works properly would be helpful!
Is the reference to Obama and Jimmy Smits really necessary on a page about the West Wing? It seems someone with a fondness for the show just decided to throw it in, however well referenced it was. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 207.180.184.155 (talk) 05:34, 4 March 2009 (UTC)
I dare not touch anything as I am not in the league of the minds at work here which is why I believe my words could contribute. I would think that mentioning as many well now actors and television shows would be a good Idea.Then perhaps it could be briefed ans another page be made. In today's classroom Ideas such as "was Jimmy Smits Portrayal of "so-and -so accurate?. Also we have lost so much of the radio error as many people had family and memories but no connections to ground them in. I agree it is not necessary, but a student looking for information about the portrayal of the West Wing in a show as her thesis, would come upon direction that could expand." Once again, it is as an outsider looking in that I make this observation. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 75.18.201.222 (talk) 07:32, 21 October 2013 (UTC)
Should it be scrapped? ----occono (talk) 18:41, 3 July 2010 (UTC)
Isn't a renovation going on at the West Wing? --49.145.73.216 (talk) 10:51, 22 December 2013 (UTC)

I look carefully at the floor plans in this article and the one thing that's lacking is rest rooms.
If I have to go, do I have to run into the main building?
C'mon, this is the country's executive mansion. I can't see it lacking adaquate restrooms. Allyn (talk) 17:04, 6 October 2020 (UTC)
Does it have a name, a history, noteworthy furnishings, anything similar to the Vice President's Room? Could be interesting, could be nothing. Just a suggestion. InedibleHulk (talk) 03:36, 26 November 2020 (UTC)

In https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Wing&diff=prev&oldid=840129991 the number of floors was increased to five, to immediately be lowered to four in https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=West_Wing&diff=840130078&oldid=840129991 - but in a quick search I've not found other references to four floors, nor is it obvious where the fourth floor would be (lest it be a second level underground). — Preceding unsigned comment added by 2600:1700:A790:B1F:0:0:0:2C2 (talk) 06:45, 3 July 2022 (UTC)
