Veracity of statements by Donald Trump

(

)

... that the Veracity of statements by Donald Trump has been the subject of controversy? [1] [2]

Reviewed: DYK exempt
Comment: Hooks could go further if there is consensus for that. There are also numerous authors to the content in this article.

Created by Frayae (talk). Self-nominated at 10:50, 24 October 2018 (UTC).

@Frayae: the first revision of the article, other than its lead section, was copied from the Donald Trump article. This is the same text as it appeared 7 days ago. This text has a prose size of 1005 characters, and the article currently has a prose size of 2714 characters. Per WP:DYKSG#A5, If some of the text in a nominated article was copied from another Wikipedia article, and the copied text is more than seven days old, then the copied text must be expanded fivefold as if the copied text had been a separate article. This article would need to be expanded to at least 5025 characters (i.e. almost double its current length) to satisfy DYK requirements. feminist (talk) 18:51, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

@Feminist: It is possible, the article can't go on DYK with a RM in progress and hopefully the extra size can be added by then. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 19:49, 25 October 2018 (UTC)

The RM was closed as not moved 10 days ago and no one has brought it to move review. The article now has 11132 characters (1823 words) readable prose size. Almost double what was needed for the fivefold increase. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 11:09, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Concerns about the article's neutrality have been made on its talk page but these seem to have been addressed now. The main problem would be the hook: it's a snoozefest. Of course everyone knows Donald Trump is controversial. From a glance the fact that FactCheck.org declared him the "King of Whoppers" seems interesting. Also note a number of long direct quotes that should be trimmed. feminist (talk) 11:52, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

There has already been some effort to reduce the number of quotes, I will see what can be done to improve the situation there. Regarding the hook, King of Whoopers sounds good, I will see what I can do. — Frayæ (Talk/Spjall) 21:20, 11 November 2018 (UTC)

Frayae has been blocked as a sock. As this was both created and nominated by them, it should be closed, unless someone else wants to take over the nomination. BlueMoonset (talk) 22:15, 15 November 2018 (UTC)
