Important Notice[edit]

This is a standard message to notify contributors about an administrative ruling in effect. It does not imply that there are any issues with your contributions to date.

You have shown interest in post-1932 politics of the United States and closely related people. Due to past disruption in this topic area, a more stringent set of rules called discretionary sanctions is in effect. Any administrator may impose sanctions on editors who do not strictly follow Wikipedia's policies, or the page-specific restrictions, when making edits related to the topic.

For additional information, please see the guidance on discretionary sanctions and the Arbitration Committee's decision here. If you have any questions, or any doubts regarding what edits are appropriate, you are welcome to discuss them with me or any other editor.

Disambiguation link notification for August 10[edit]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited List of conspiracy theories promoted by Donald Trump, you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page Salon. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)

Trump book image[edit]

Book images are not supposed to be high(er) quality per rules on Fair Use. The image should be no larger than is required to display it in the infobox, as was the case with the previous image. -- GreenC 20:18, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

oops. newbie mistake. i've replaced with 324 × 480 thumbnail and attempted to tag change as such. Unendin (talk) 20:43, 10 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
Much better. Thank you. -- GreenC 01:20, 11 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Writing[edit]

Hi, I am enjoying your writing, you are a good writer. I think some of it is going to run into trouble as it exceeds what Wikipedia allows for in terms of neutrality and not injecting editorial opinion (which is an unfortunate reality of Wikipedia). Would suggest to tone a few things down before the wrong people show up and give the article a hard time.

These two stood out:

  • Still, those peering behind the curtain could not make out the tawdrier reality all at once.

Is "tawdier reality" could actually run afoul of our rules on WP:BLP. "Peering behind the curtain" is also not NPOV language.

  • In chapter seven, "Trump Tower," our protagonist savvily assembles..

"our protagonist savvily" is definitely an editorial slant leading the reader in a direction without a cited source. A more neutral reading would be "In chapter seven, "Trump Tower," Trump assembles.." even though it's clunky repetition. See also Wikipedia:The problem with elegant variation when these kinds of problems arise when trying to avoid repetitions. Maybe simply drop the chapter name?

Nice work, -- GreenC 03:52, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Thx for the constructive wisdom. Yes, per your comments, I can re-style some of it immediately, and more of it going forward. "Tawdrier" already felt too harsh! The elegant variation thing will take some noodling because I want readers to avoid confusion between the character/hero/protagonist in the book (due in no small part to Schwartz) and the flesh-and-blood person we think we all know by now. I''ll try! Unendin (talk) 04:02, 13 August 2021 (UTC)[reply]
