There is some sense in an earlier statement that the bar for suggesting changes to this article is being set artificially high.

WP editors are called on to edit boldly. This fact does not change in the case of an article's semi-protected status. To suggest that all edits, including ones that seek to provide additional or clearer sources (or ones aiming to improve article compliance with WP:VERIFY and other guidelines) must seek prior consensus for suggested changes is to make all editing of this article onerously time consuming (even more so than is the semi-protected process already). The point of the current status is to protect it from vandalism, not to protect it from change.

To require consensus building before all edits is to suggest the article is technically, editorially, and intellectually perfect already. This has never been a presumption here. We need keep the bar where it has always been, and process all reasonable edit requests that clearly improve article quality (as addition of a further source with more expansive coverage of a sentence's content almost always does).

Cheers, a former professor, and old former logging editor with many tens of thousands of edits over a decade. 2601:246:C700:C:8D5C:71C1:CFE9:5128 (talk) 15:56, 16 July 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Well said, anti vandalism doesn't equal the same as approved consensus posts ONLY. We have to always be contributing edits, trust the process and it will weed out the edits that the consensus doesn't feel meet Wikipedia standards. Eruditess (talk) 22:04, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

Eruditess, consensus is not needed for all edits but rather for controversial edits. According to Wikipedia:Edit requests:

"In general, if you want to make an edit request

Propose a specific change on a talk page. Don't add an edit request template yet.

Once there is consensus for the change, and any final details have been worked out, put a template on the talk page along with a short, clear explanation.

A user who can make the edit will notice the template has been added, and will respond to the request.

Consensus isn't needed if a change is not controversial. Uncontroversial changes don't require sourcing, such as correcting typographical errors or disambiguating links. If this is the case, you don't need to establish consensus, but instead propose the change as stated above."

Not that difficult. Cullen328 (talk) 22:30, 24 August 2022 (UTC)[reply]

It should not say that Kamala "also lost in a landslide." It can say she lost. 173.17.54.75 (talk) 22:27, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. M.Bitton (talk) 23:34, 6 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Facts are facts.

"Cheney is known for her vocal opposition to Donald Trump."

Only since 2021 has former Congressman Cheney been vocally opposing President Donald Trump. Not "Donald Trump" either, we show elected officials respect in our Constitutional Republic.

Before that she was known for her vocal support for President Donald Trump and voted in line with every single bill he supported. 2607:F280:3005:2E1:4CC1:16BE:F17F:4CC2 (talk) 18:22, 18 May 2025 (UTC)[reply]
