editCurrently the article states:
- "President Trump holds a meeting in the White House with United Nations Secretary General Antonio Guterres to discuss the administration's reform agenda, the Iran nuclear deal, Middle East peace prospects and global extremism."
and gives a source. But the source does not mention any of the topics claimed. I'm not saying they weren't discussed I would just like to see a source to verify. ―Buster7 ☎ 14:18, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Changed to:
- President Trump holds a meeting in the White House with United Nations Secretary-General António Guterres to discuss issues of mutual interest, a commitment to work together, and improvement of the efficiency and effectiveness of the United Nations.
- and used the White House Press Offices release. ―Buster7 ☎ 22:11, 23 October 2017 (UTC)
- I have added another reference source that lists the points which you have removed.F2Milk (talk) 10:26, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
Too detailed?
editThis list seems to detail every single action Mr. Trump makes in the course of a day. None of the other presidential timeline articles have this level of detail (to the level of separating by quarter); the next closest is Obama, who is separated by year. No other president is encompassed in this level of detail. Maybe this should be pared back a bit? -A lad insane (Channel 2) 18:23, 22 October 2017 (UTC)
- Disagree. We should make this as much detail as possible. We should also add more details to the other presidential timelines if possible.F2Milk (talk) 08:30, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
- So Trump declaring a proclamation on Columbus Day is notable then? No. It isn't. Events like executive orders being suppressed and legalization of discrimination against transgender individuals... that's important. Not President Trump having dinner... which is on the list. Next it will be Trump taking a bathroom break...? Wikipedia is an encyclopedia, not a news agency with nothing better to do. Next you'll be saying that Dr. McCoy is, in fact, a bricklayer, and not a doctor as popular culture would have it? I get a bit snarky sometimes... -A lad insane (Channel 2) 03:26, 30 October 2017 (UTC)
- Agree, too detailed. A presidential timeline should include important events, good and bad. It should not be filled with only positive posturing with barely a hint of anything negative. Too much fluff, not enuf ruff! ―Buster7 ☎ 16:41, 27 October 2017 (UTC)
- Executive orders and legislations have been allowed in the past, so I don't know where you are getting at. Stop trying to conflated discriminatory practices and executive orders and saying there is a difference or the same. There will always be good and bad during the administration. Dinner with world leaders are alright because there are discussions involved. I have been away for quite awhile, and I see a small pattern of people trying to complain and whine about the timeline. If you are a lazy person who doesn't contribute to articles, then don't make any contributions. But don't complain that that the timeline is too detailed.F2Milk (talk) 02:55, 5 November 2017 (UTC)
- Please refrain from calling established editors "lazy". Are you unaware of the guidelines and ArbCom sanctions applying to these articles? The article is under 1RR, which basically means that you can't edit war at all. Using the talk page is really the only way. -A lad insane (Channel 2) 04:59, 7 November 2017 (UTC)

- Agree Detail has been consistently excessive. Propose deleting area such as lists of dinner guests, which contribute nothing of substance. Cpaaoi (talk) 02:07, 14 November 2017 (UTC)
Net Neutrality
editHello, do you think that including the recent repeal of net neutrality to the Timeline? Thanks, User:ST15RMwikipedia 21:30, 14 December 2017 (UTC)
