Cold War II (edit | talk | history | protect | delete | links | watch | logs | views)

Hello. I want to notify you about the article Cold War II, which I have mostly edited. Mainly I added the "US-China relations" section per RfC in Talk:Cold War II. For the time being, this article attracts those wanting to expand the content about US-Russia relations related to the topic (and its interchangeable terms). Initially, the article was created in response to events related to the US-Russia tensions. However, it experienced discussions, like the titling and the sourcing, leading to revamping the article. This year, attempts to insert presumably original research and unverifiable claims have been reverted, especially via more discussions. One suggested another AfD after the first one failed. I hope those interested in politics would be interested in preserving and watching this article. It is still attracting more presumptions related to US-Russia relations. I also hope that original research will be repelled in the future. --George Ho (talk) 22:00, 31 May 2017 (UTC)

Excessive references in Alt-right lede section

The article Alt-right has 48 references in the lede paragraph. I made a proposed change [1] to decrease this, but two editors oppose this on the talk page. I feel that decreasing the number of references in the lede is definitely necessary according to Wikipedia style. Does anyone have recommendations on how to proceed? Power~enwiki (talk) 05:36, 10 July 2017 (UTC)

I've attempted to improve that page, as well as to improve the 5 main Democratic candidates with Wikipedia pages; they likely need further improvements:

I also created a redirect for Bob Daiber, who may become a notable candidate, but doesn't appear to be one now. Power~enwiki (talk) 03:44, 16 July 2017 (UTC)

Are the latter three actually notable? All of them appear to fail WP:NPOLITICIAN. Number 57 11:42, 16 July 2017 (UTC)
Pritzker and Kennedy are notable as "people from rich and famous families" rather than as politicians. Chicago is a prominent enough town that city council members (alderman) may be notable, and Pawar is one of the most notable (from publicity for his Senate run if nothing else); I believe he meets NPOL.
