Donald Trump[edit]

@Another Believer and @Epicgenius: just created this article. This season contains the all-known Donald Trump episode, which you two promoted to FA. There's quite a bit of discussion about the episode under "Reception", so I just wanted to notify the two of you in case you thought any changes should be made. I did copy content from the episode's article but completely forgot to put it in the edit summary, so I've added the copied template above- sorry about that MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 00:32, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

No problem! Thanks for the heads up. I've linked to this new page at the Trump episode entry. ---Another Believer _(Talk) 00:43, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Just notifying you guys that I've nominated it at FLC MyCatIsAChonk (talk) (not me) (also not me) (still no) 11:09, 11 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
