What changed

A sentence was added to the DNC chairmanship section stating that Buttigieg pledged to resign as mayor if elected DNC chair, cited to The Statehouse File article from January 5, 2017. The change also includes a fix to a malformed URL in the Baltimore Sun citation, removing spaces that had been inserted within the URL string. The modifications are concentrated entirely within the 2017 DNC chairmanship election section.

What changed

The introductory paragraph was edited to remove a sentence about Buttigieg's educational background (Harvard College and University of Oxford/Rhodes Scholarship), his work at McKinsey & Company, and his naval intelligence officer service. The phrase describing his mayoral tenure was also slightly altered: the original ended with "from 2012 to 2020, which earned him the nickname 'Mayor Pete'" while the revised version ends with "from 2012 to 2020." followed by additional biographical detail that continues beyond the visible diff.

The only change is a minor punctuation/formatting edit in the audio module description: a period and space (". ") before the line break tag (`<br />`) in the phrase "for [[U.S. Secretary of Transportation]] ." was removed, leaving no period before the line break. The change is confined to that single description field and affects no factual claims, dates, or names.

The short description changed from "19th United States secretary of transportation and former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana" to "American politician (born 1982)," and the "Use mdy dates" tag was updated from November 2020 to August 2023.

What changed

The infobox was updated to reflect Buttigieg's role as 19th United States Secretary of Transportation (with a start date of February 3, 2021, predecessor Elaine Chao, and deputy Polly Trottenberg) as his primary office, with his mayoral role moved to a secondary infobox field. The photo was changed from "Pete Buttigieg (49555517831) (cropped).jpg" to "Pete Buttigieg official photo.jpg," and the short description was updated from "U.S. politician and former 2020 presidential candidate" to "19th United States secretary of transportation and former Mayor of South Bend, Indiana." Several smaller field-level changes were made throughout the infobox, including corrections to his parents' names (adding "father" and "mother" labels, expanding "J. Anne Montgomery" to "Jennifer Anne Montgomery"), a link added for "Chasten Buttigieg," and the campaign website label changed from "Campaign website" to "Win the Era."

Anne Montgomery to separate mother/father fields), the military branch field changed from a naval flag template to a United States Navy flag template, the rank field changed from a "Dodseal" template to a standard Navy SVG file, and the awards field ("mawards") listing the Joint Service Commendation Medal was removed.

The infobox was updated with a new photo ("by Gage Skidmore"), a revised caption ("June 2019"), and the education field was changed from listing "Bachelor of Arts" degrees from both Harvard and Oxford to listing a "BA" from Harvard and an "MA" from Oxford.

What changed

The infobox was updated in several ways: the spouse field changed from "Chasten Glezman" to "Chasten Buttigieg," a mother field ("J. Anne Montgomery") was added, the education and website fields were reformatted from plainlists to simpler inline formatting, the campaign website changed from "peteforamerica.com" to "peteforsouthbend.com," and the War in Afghanistan battles field changed from "2001–14" to "2001–present." The image caption changed from "Buttigieg in 2019" to "Buttigieg in February 2019," and an alt text field was removed. The military branch field changed from a text reference to "United States Navy Reserve" to a flag-icon formatted entry, and the net size increase of over 13,000 characters suggests substantial additions elsewhere in the article body beyond the infobox.

The infobox was updated to add several new fields including a caption, alt text, full birth name ("Peter Paul Montgomery Buttigieg"), spouse (Chasten Glezman, married June 16, 2018), father (Joseph Buttigieg), and a more detailed education field with degree types, while the image was changed from "PeteButtigieg.JPG" to a cropped 2019 photo. The opening paragraph was rewritten to include his full name, a revised pronunciation guide, and additional descriptions identifying him as a "war veteran" and "lieutenant in the United States Navy Reserve," replacing the simpler description of him as "an American politician who is the current and 32nd Mayor of South Bend, Indiana." The government website URL in the infobox was also updated from the older southbendin.gov path to a new one.
