John Lambert
editI removed the text On August 6, 2019, John Lambert pleaded guilty to one count of conspiracy to commit wire fraud, which carries a maximum sentence of 20 years in prison. [1]
from the second sentence of the lead. This is because I don't think that a primary source that does not mention Students for Trump is the most important thing about Students for Trump. It could possibly go further down in the page of John Lambert. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Goal of recruiting one million students at colleges across the US
editI removed the text goal of recruiting one million students at colleges across the US
from the lead. This is because we don't need to advertise Kirks goal on becoming chair in the lead. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
Places for targeted student engagement
editI removed the following Kirk sees Florida, Iowa, North Carolina, Ohio and Arizona as places for targeted student engagement, and added that it is important to have "'aggressive, conservative Republican political outreach' to students." He added that Students for Trump "has a budget of $15 million, 150 staffers and a presence on more than 1,400 college campuses due to its affiliation with Turning Point Action" an unregistered political action committee formed in May 2019.[1]
. We don't need to list potential places in the lead if nothing notable has happened yet. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Own literature
editI removed According to its own literature "Students for Trump sets out to build the largest candidate-focused chapter program in the nation with a primary goal of reaching Division I universities."[1]
from the leade as we don't need to go advertising the organizations goal if they are not covered by third parties. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Fournier labelling by Pride Source
editAn article by Pride Source is not appropriate to label Fournier that in an article about Students for Trump. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)
COVID-19 pandemic tweet
editI removed Amid the COVID-19 pandemic, Fournier suggested defunding the World Health Organization @ryanafournier (6 April 2020). "Fournier asks for WHO to be defunded" (Tweet) – via Twitter.
from the article as an article about Students for Trump is not a place to list incorrectly formatted tweets of Fournier. --Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 20:58, 27 July 2020 (UTC)

Change of Leadership
editIt would seem that Ryan Fournier took back ownership of Students for Trump earlier this year based on this source, and numerous others: https://www.washingtonpost.com/politics/2023/02/08/charlie-kirk-students-for-trump/ 2603:6080:DD00:A9BC:D803:7B05:F760:3DF (talk) 15:54, 18 November 2023 (UTC)
