Social media in the 2016 United States presidential election

(
)
  • ... that Facebook has estimated that during the 2016 United States presidential election, fake news reached 126 million voters on social media? Source: "The testimony says that 29 million people were directly served 80,000 posts linked to Russian actors between January 2015 and August 2017. Likes, shares, and comments on those posts delivered them to the additional 97 million people." [1]
    • ALT1:... that according to Pew Research Center, 35% of 18–29 year olds got their news from social media in the 2016 United States presidential election? Source: (uses data so there is no quote) [2]
  • Reviewed: Since this is my first time at DYK, so I'm not going to review someone else's nomination, because I don't think I am experienced enough to. (Because this is my first time I am exempt from the QPQ review requirement).

Improved to Good Article status by Giraffer (talk). Self-nominated at 20:05, 10 April 2021 (UTC).

  • Date and length fine. @Giraffer: for the first hook, it needs an inline citation next to the end of the sentence. QPQ is not needed as this is his first nomination. No close paraphrasing but I'd like you to ping me once the above mentioned is fixed and I'll proceed with passing it. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 06:45, 19 April 2021 (UTC)
The C of E, done. Giraffer (talk·contribs) 18:11, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
@Giraffer: You haven't edited the article since the 10th, how can you have done it? The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 18:17, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
The C of E, sorry, I thought you were referring to the hook (I was a bit confused...). I've re-used the ref at the end of the sentence the hook comes from (it was originally placed at the end of the sentence after). Thanks, NotGiraffer not munch 23:22, 20 April 2021 (UTC)
Much better. Good to go then. The C of E God Save the Queen! (talk) 07:14, 21 April 2021 (UTC)
