    Twitter split proposal

    I propose that the section Donald Trump on social media#Twitter be split out to Donald Trump on Twitter. It is extremely long and takes up the majority of this article. Natg 19 (talk) 01:26, 31 July 2020 (UTC) Pinging @Finnusertop, GHcool, JFG, Axisixa, and Nanophosis: (previous participants of a similar discussion) Natg 19 (talk) 00:19, 9 August 2020 (UTC)

    • Oppose pretty much the entire article is Donald Trump's Twitter activity. The remaining sections are a few paragraphs and don't add much to the article length-splitting them out of the article would not alter the length and create a very awkward stub, "Donald Trump's activity on social media (excluding Twitter)".
      The real reason this article is long is because Trump says a lot of crazy stuff on Twitter and we document it, it's that simple. If you have a problem with that, take it up with him and see how far you get. So it's a given that the article is long, but that's not a problem in my view because it's well organised and it's possible to find sections you care about. Blythwood (talk) 10:00, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
    • Unnecessary. Trump's social media activity outside Twitter is not notable. — JFG 11:39, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
      Perhaps a way forward would be to rename this article to Donald Trump on Twitter, and insert a brief paragraph about his other social media activity. What do you think? — JFG 11:40, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
    This sounds like a good solution to me. My original concern is that the Twitter activity overshadows the "other" social media activity. Perhaps this article was named this way to match with the Barack Obama on social media article. Natg 19 (talk) 21:14, 9 August 2020 (UTC)
    • Oppose - As others have said, Trump's activity outside of Twitter is not worthy of attention, and I doubt any of it is actually written by him anyway. A better solution would be shortening the article, which is more of a melange of certain tweets that have gained notoriety than an summation of his Twitter activity - I doubt we need three paragraphs on Britain First; nobody remembers that. At the very least, Twitter shouln't be a top-level heading, it makes the article very difficult to read - it could be laid out more like this instead. - Axisixa T C 06:16, 11 August 2020 (UTC)
    Do you support JFG's proposal to rename the article to Donald Trump on Twitter? I would be okay with that solution, if we are to mainly focus on his Twitter activity. Natg 19 (talk) 00:34, 12 August 2020 (UTC)
    Personally, I don't think it makes much sense if the article still covers other social media platforms. But none of them are really that relevant anyway, outside of his old Youtube videos, so they could be removed or relegated to a minor mention/paragraph. - Axisixa T C 03:59, 12 August 2020 (UTC)

    Semi-protected edit request on 18 March 2021

    I believe that the wording of the first line of "Other social media platforms > Facebook" regarding the ad pricing is unclear. It presently reads "Trump was charged less per ad than Clinton was, Wired claimed," but since the next clause contains potentially contradicting information, I believe a more clear presentation may be "Wired claimed that Trump was charged less per ad then Clinton was," and recommend some variation of a change for clarity.

    I am not familiar enough with the citation best-practices on this wiki, so am uncertain whether this is a substantive issue or whether the existing text is correctly worded.--182.158.155.102 (talk) 11:05, 18 March 2021 (UTC)

    45office.com

    I found a brief article in a newspaper I was looking at a few minutes ago, and I added some information to this article. The web site is surely notable enough to have its own article but I'm not ready to take the time that would be required to create an article that would stay. Although the site is clearly notable. Some might object to Miller's lofty predictions but I thought it was worth mentioning. I declined to include the lack of information of Trump's ban, or his bragging about how well he handled COVID-19, but for a full article on the site those probably should be mentioned even if they make the article sound biased.

    Miller said in the source used that Trump would return in several months, while the article before I changed it said the site would launch in two or three months. Obviously that was not the case and I just used the correct statement by Miller and a different source which linked to the one I removed.— Vchimpanzee • talk • contributions • 21:11, 31 March 2021 (UTC)
