Topic: RL political figure tags

Posted under Tag/Wiki Projects and Questions

Looking at the recent wiki edits, I came across a flame baiting entry for Donald Trump. I changed it to something a lot more neutral, and while I was at it made a similar entry for Hillary Clinton, which prior to my edit had no description.

Given the animosity towards many politicians, particularly those who are active at the time, perhaps there should be consideration given to giving similarly minimal descriptions to others that may exist, then lock them. Given the precedent of edit wars on Wikipedia, I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if someone came along to one of those entries and changed it to something similar to the original edit of Trump's wiki entry.

I know that as humans (inb4 politically motivated demonization) they aren't the focus of this site, but they do occasionally come up in posts where there is something furry to justify the upload as far as the published site rules go.

Both are now locked. Any user abusing the wikis, doesn't matter who you vote for, is subject to records/bans.

And now the Trump page needs updating, unless you believe the recount thing that Stein's doing will change the ultimate outcome (doubtful, even she doesn't believe it will change things).

To keep things simple, perhaps just a tweak of the latter part of the current description? "[...] and elected President of the US in 2016."
