Parodies edit
There have been drive-by attempts to remove content form Parodies, notably including the "Daddy" fake cover. Since it was viral and the subject of significant independent commentary, as cited in the article, I think it needs to stay. Guy (help!) 12:25, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
No, I told you that it's highly offensive and coming from a twitter account with only 2000 followers. If you could show me another wikipedia article where a twitter account with less than 10k followers has a prominent picture of a tweet on a wikipedia article, then I'll drop my complaint for good and stop editing here. This tweet from Donald Trump Jr. has gotten a lot more retweets and likes. I don't think it would make sense to take a picture of it to put on this article, even if it gets coverage and is related to his time with the ladies of the View. And lastly, trolls who vandalize goods shouldn't be promoted on wikipedia. It promotes bad behavior; unsold books in stores should be respected even if you don't agree with them. I am serious about showing me another wikipedia article with a picture of a tweet from another twitter user with less than 10k followers. I may not edit here, but I'm on wikipedia often and I've never seen that. From big twitter account with millions of followers, even just a few hundred thousand, but not a small account with only 2000. It seems "undue" as you editors often say, since the only two pictures here are of the book itself by the president's son and a twitter account with only a few thousand followers.70.240.227.1 (talk) 00:01, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- The measure on Wikipedia of whether something is notable is not the number of retweets or likes it gets, but the amount of coverage in reliable sources. This tweet has been covered by The Hill, Newsweek, Slate, and The Washington Examiner. The image of the tweet is simply an illustration of the relevant content, and is therefore appropriate. – bradv🍁 00:43, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
OK, but by that logic tweets by random people of no relevance could be injected on various wiki articles of influential figures and things, since oftentimes everyday people's tweets get a lot of coverage (due to the fact that journalists give attention to what's popular and likely to bring in readers). I'm finished with this. I obviously don't have a lot of time, like you people, to edit here. Life is short, have fun. 70.240.227.1 (talk) 03:58, 23 November 2019 (UTC)
- If they are covered by Newsweek, Rolling Stone and other similarly high profile media, then yes - case by case, as always.
- As to being offensive, actually it makes the article less offensive by blunting the rather obvious entitlement, arrogance, hubris, projection and faux-victim status the content of the book invokes. Guy (help!) 00:42, 24 November 2019 (UTC)
Bulk purchases by RNC edit
This has become a major headline, and is worthy of mention in the article. SecretName101 (talk) 19:08, 22 November 2019 (UTC)
