I will be reviewing this article shortly. IntentionallyDense (talk) 02:43, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

@IntentionallyDense: Thank you so much! In anticipation of the upcoming election, I nominated this article a while back as it highlights a past controversial subreddit about Trump. Since its user base splintered post-ban, I believe it's good to nominate r/The_Donald now. Yoshiman6464 ^♫🥚 02:25, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Is there a reason why you have citations in the lead? IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:14, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
There was a bit of overlinking going on throughout the article, I took care of some of it but that's something to look out for. IntentionallyDense (talk) 04:14, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Source review

Just looking at the sources, there are some less reliable ones used such as salon, Forbes, The daily beast, newsweek, International Business Times, Techcrunch, youtube, FoxNews, HuffPost, The Inquisitr, and Mashable. Some of these sources are more unreliable than others and I may need to seek out a second opinion on how big of a deal this is. If you could replace some of those that would be good.

Okay I asked around off-wiki and I'm okay with you keeping the salon, The Daily Beast, techchrunch, and huffpost as those are more borderline but the other sources should be replaced considering this is a political article. IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:42, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The image was accompanied by a photoshopped picture of an aged Byrd in Klan garb, which was meant to falsely portray Clinton and Byrd as Klan supporters. Byrd had severed ties with the Ku Klux Klan in 1952. Appears to be unsourced. IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:49, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The Reddit Director of Communications stated that the subscriber discrepancy was a simple labeling error wherein the count for "daily unique visitors" was mistakenly labeled as "subscribers" and that the error would be partially fixed by the end of the day. appears to be unsourced.

When asked why the r/The_Donald community was not banned from the website, Huffman replied that "Banning them probably won't accomplish what you want. However, letting them fall apart from their own dysfunction probably will." Appears to be unsourced. IntentionallyDense (talk) 14:49, 29 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
