Talk: Donald Trump lead discussion

Hi DecafPotato,

I’d like to encourage you to take a moment to review my argument regarding the "F" proposal. For years, the current structure has been thoughtfully considered and has served readers well. My concern isn’t about preference but about preserving a phrasing that provides clarity and fulfills its purpose effectively. So far, I haven’t seen a strong explanation for why this change is necessary, and I think it’s worth reflecting on whether it truly adds value.

If you haven’t already, I’d also recommend checking out what User: Gluonz has added in the comments about previous discussions under Joe Biden’s page regarding this same topic. I think their input provides valuable context that’s worth considering.

I’d appreciate your thoughts on my argument. I’m confident we all share the goal of serving readers in the best way possible, and I hope my perspective helps inform the discussion. TimeToFixThis (talk) 03:43, 27 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Hi. Thank you for your recent edits. An automated process has detected that when you recently edited Middle Eastern crisis (2023–present), you added a link pointing to the disambiguation page ABC News. Such links are usually incorrect, since a disambiguation page is merely a list of unrelated topics with similar titles. (Read the FAQ • Join us at the DPL WikiProject.)
