Noting

Per title of article, there is a 2004-2014 gap in content. Gråbergs Gråa Sång (talk) 09:07, 9 June 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I don't think there's any sources about Trump's article from 2004 to 2014. Wow (talk) 20:25, 29 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

@Wow Thanks for expanding this article. I've started a couple discussions below, if you're interested. Also, curious if you have plans to nominate the entry for Good article status? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:30, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I think the page creator @ElijahPepe should nominate this for GA since most of my edits involve archiving the sources and organizing the content. Wow (talk) 18:17, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

This article is not ready for good article status. elijahpepe@wikipedia (he/him) 00:06, 2 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Necessary detail?

Right now the "Articles loosely related to Trump" section says, "In October 2016, a vandal replaced the contents of both Hillary and Bill Clinton's article with a pornographic image and explicit message encouraging readers to vote for Trump."

The articles about Bill and Hillary Clinton are not about Trump. All I'm getting from the text is that someone vandalized Wikipedia by encouraging votes for Trump.

Is this necessary detail? If not, I suggest removal. Or, perhaps this is more appropriate for the Vandalism section? ---Another Believer _(Talk) 17:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

I just expanded this detail, but we can move it out of the section if necessary. --Wow (talk) 22:23, 31 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

One-sided "vandalism" section

What about the constant vandalism by Trump fans to remove words like "false"? Whitewashing is a constant problem. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 17:02, 28 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]

=Criticism== section needed

Following is the draft for :

Criticism

The wikipedia coverage of Donald Trump has largely been deemed biased against Trump himself and a propaganda to fuel Democratic Party's fear-mongering. The superfluous number of articles, which contain insignificant details about Trump, have been repeatedly noticed to carry anti-Trump sentiments. Moreover, in October 2025, amidst Trump's second presidential campaign, a Wikipedia user, who identifies as part of LGBTQ+ community and has written multiple articles that seemingly antagonize Trump, suddenly submitted a draft comparing Donald Trump's policies with fascism, presumably in an attempt to spread negative sentiments that potentially affected his campaign. On the contrary, Trump's opponent and Democratic Party candidate Kamala Wikipedia article was frequently edited to erase any signs of her apparent and alleged incompetence. Harris' public image article repeatedly refused to mention her "word salad" speeches, as they are referred to by Trump's supporters and several media outlets, and mentioned nothing negative about her accomplishments overall. 117.248.184.196 (talk) 14:12, 25 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
