Dorfer, Tobias (31 May 2017). "Was bedeutet Trumps #covfefe?". Zeit Online. Retrieved 1 June 2017. "Trotz der andauernden negativen Presse ...", so ließe sich die Nachricht übersetzen, doch dann folgt das Wort "covfefe", das zwar bereits einen eigenen Wikipedia-Eintrag hat, den Autoren des renommierten Wörterbuchs Merriam-Webster jedoch völlig unbekannt ist.

Misunderstood?

it's not 'misunderstood' . The meaning is unkown that's a completely different thing to a misunderstanding. Misunderstanding is being *mistaken* about what the meaning is. This needs fixing. 82.9.56.21 (talk) 20:53, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. It was a recent POV change. DeCausa (talk) 21:01, 9 August 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It is updated to not include political agenda which violates terms of use. It's now reflecting facts and a new trademark which now produces coffee under the name Covfefe as well as the history of how the word was coined. 2600:100C:B257:EECF:0:4:36E8:3901 (talk) 05:48, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

well now a transgender guy named "MaybeirsMir" reversed my edit of pure informative meaning and relation of the word calling my edit outside objectives when that's exactly what I did. Stick to objective TRUTH rather than conjecture and subjective criticism which it is now.

Transgender liars pretending to be women are running Wikipedia. Wow. 2600:100C:B257:EECF:0:4:36E8:3901 (talk) 06:14, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Your edit was a pretty thinly-veiled advertisement. You also failed to provide a source. You should probably try to understand, or at the very least, skim through Wikipedia's guidelines and policies before you complain about who's "running" it. miranda ^:3 06:21, 20 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]

It means, in a lost antediluvian language, in the end we win. This assertion makes sense within the context of the original tweet. And futher goes to show the lengths fake news outlets will go to attempt to explain the unexplainable to the masses. In effect it was an inside joke that went over the heads of the self-appointed intellectual and academic cultures. 71.28.129.81 (talk) 17:17, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

It was an after-midnight typo, as covered by reliable sources. There's no deeper meaning to it, no hidden "go" message to the QAnon horde, and certainly no "inside message." Zaathras (talk) 19:45, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

"a lost antediluvian language". :) No worries, I've found a translation aid. DeCausa (talk) 21:51, 23 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Use of "tweet"

"Tweet" should be replaced with "message". This is Wikipedia and not some Twitter fan page. Best regards, IP 92.231.219.195 (talk) 19:51, 5 June 2017 (UTC)

It's in the dictionary, so I don't see a problem with it. EvergreenFir (talk) 00:19, 8 June 2017 (UTC)

In the first archive, there is a discussion about the use of the word tweet. I agree with IP 92.231.219.195 that this is a proprietary use of the word and should not be used in an encyclopedia. Now according to the Twitter page, "posts [were] formerly "tweets". Should this decision be reconsidered ? JeremiahJohnson (talk) JeremiahJohnson (talk) 22:00, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Simply put, no. Reliable sources at the time used the appropriate term "Tweet," so we reflect that. Perhaps a note could be added (with RS) to indicate this is the older, deprecated term... but honestly, people still call them tweets, regardless of what Elon Musk says.

Also, you may want to use some form of quote feature to make it clear you're quoting an older post, and that's not your own words. This was very confusing at first. — The Hand That Feeds You:^Bite 22:05, 31 July 2024 (UTC)[reply]
