Lead and infobox

[edit]
  • I would recommend that you expand the Lead to include more from the “Reception and aftermath” section. You include a brief mention about the segment’s popularity, but I would recommend putting in a little more.
  • Include an alt for the image in the infobox

Description

[edit]
  • Include an alt for all the images here.
  • Is it really necessary to have two images in the “Make Donald Drumpf Again” section? It seems a little excessive. I would suggest you pick one of the two images that you think is the strongest and eliminate the other one. However, if there is a reason behind including both pictures, just let me know. This is more of a suggestion to think about than a strong requirement.
  • While discussing the segment, use present tense. So it should be “he calls Trump a ‘serial liar’” etc. Look back at your work with the Tobacco segment to see what I mean. A majority of the Description section (with some exceptions) should be in present tense.
  • Eliminate the comma after 2016 in the first sentence of the first paragraph
  • Remove the comma after “saying” in the second sentence of the first paragraph
  • Too many instances with the word “Oliver”. I would recommend you replace some instances with “he” to avoid repetition.
  • In the first paragraph of the “Make Donald Drumpf Again”, be careful about using too many quotes. Over two-thirds of the paragraph is quotes. Be careful about over-quoting.
  • I paraphrased one of the quotes and removed a redundant bit about Oliver encouraging use of the name. The section still has quotes, but I think it flows and reads a little better now. Let me know if more work is needed here. ---Another Believer (Talk) 17:54, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Reception and aftermath

[edit]
  • Include an alt for the image
  • Remember to add a citation to the caption in the image if you are using a quote (“a greater purpose”)
  • For the first sentence of the third paragraph, say “Daniel Victor of The New York Times”. Keep the link to The New York Times obviously. Replaced “it stated” with “Victor stated”. Include the writer in the sentence on CNET as well.

Name change timing dispute

[edit]
  • Add an alt for the image
  • Change “agree” to “agreed” and “disagree” to “disagreed”
  • Change the last part of the first sentence to “on whether the family name as changed in the 17th century or 1885.” Keep the link to the 17th century.
  • Include the writer’s name for Snopes.com
  • Change “Some articles state” to “Some articles stated”
  • Include the author’s name for the book "America's Obsessives: The Compulsive Energy That Built a Nation"
  • Is there a reason why you didn’t include the name of the reporter from The Guardian?

 Done with this section. Let me know if any of these concerns need to be addressed further. ---Another Believer (Talk) 01:06, 28 May 2016 (UTC)[reply]
