A fact from White House Passover Seder appeared on Wikipedia's Main Page in the Did you know column on 22 April 2016 (check views). The text of the entry was as follows:
The two references provided in the article, Haaretz and Huffington Post agree that Trump's daughter's family did not attend the 2017 Whitehouse Seder, but the Jerusalem Post says that they did. It appears that the Jerusalem Post got it wrong, as they base their assertion on a Tweet that Ivanka Trump posted with her family posing inside the White House, and not on any hard evidence that Ivanka and her family were actually present at the Seder. --Sometimes the sky is blue (talk) 13:14, 13 April 2017 (UTC)[reply]
Thank you for noting that. I have a different question. Since this year's White House Seder was (1) not held in the White House, and (2) not attended by the President, but has reverted back to being a Seder conducted by Jewish staffers (as in 1993 during the Clinton administration), should we rename this page something like White House Passover Seder (2009–2016) to reflect the fact that it was a specific event that occurred for only 8 years during Obama's presidency, and put the text into past tense? A subsection at the end of the article could note the two other times (1993 and 2017) that the Seder was held by Jewish staffers in the absence of the President, but it looks like the "White House Passover Seder" was unique to the Obama administration.

I think the current name, without any dates in parenthesis, is a better route becasue the article can be edited if this tradition continues in the future.DoctorG (talk)00:16, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
@Yoninah:I am now starting this review. Thank you for the time you have put into this article and your work towards expanding Wikipedia’s quality content. I will add my comments into each of the following sections.DoctorG (talk)00:17, 23 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]
GA review (see here for what the criteria are, and here for what they are not)
Well cited throughout and backed up by quality sources. The Huffington Post article (reference #5) states this is "the first Seder to be celebrated in the White House." This conflicts with the Politico article (reference #8). Do you know for sure if the 1993 seder was in the White House or just on the White House compound (like it was in 2017)?
I'm not sure it's possible to be broad, but the editors have done a good job including the various elements of a seder and how the president participated in the activities.
Multiple images are included that show the seder in progress for several years, as well as one of the staffer who helped start the tradition.
Overall:
Pass/Fail:
After a careful review and some minor changes from the editors, I believe this article meets the standards for a GA class article and am passing it. Thank you, @Yoninah: for your work and submission.

Done Yes, the Obama seder was the first one to be held in the White House. I found another ref which indicates that the 1993 seder was held in the Indian Treaty Room, which is in the Eisenhower Executive Office Building. Yoninah (talk) 21:58, 23 September 2017 (UTC)
