Just noting up top that I noticed the prior decision to delete this article. But that was before the election, and there are sources throughout the article that this statement impacted the election, so I believe a separate article on this is warranted.

1. Well-written

  • Trump's running mate Mike Pence stated in a Capitol Hill meeting: "For Hillary Clinton to express such disdain for millions of Americans is one more reason that disqualifies her to serve in the highest office." Kellyanne Conway, Trump's campaign manager, had issued a statement on Twitter, claiming: "One day after promising to be aspirational & uplifting, Hillary insults millions of Americans." To maintain consistency with the rest of the article, the punctuation marks should be outside the quotation marks. There are a few sentences in the Analysis section where this happens too.
  • In a rally at Des Moines, Iowa,... Should be "in Des Moines"
  • Some Trump opponents turned the phrase against the Trump administration, for example Time writer... Break up this sentence after "administration"
  • Politico's Rich Lowry describes conservatives' interpretation of Clinton's use of the term as "an unfair, disparaging term for people who believe reasonable but politically incorrect things (immigration should be restricted, NFL players should stand during the national anthem, All Lives Matter, etc.)". I would move this sentence toward the beginning of the analysis section instead of the end.

2. Verifiable
Earwig is picking up violations from the text of the speech which is properly attributed in the article. For reliable sources, the YouTube video (ref. 12) is published by CBS News and is thus reliable per WP:RSPYT. RealClearPolitics and The Spectator are considered questionable by WP:RSPS but are used here for providing quotations. Mashable and Business Insider are also flagged but the statements citing these sources are also supported by another more-reliable source.

  • In the references, RealClearPolitics should be spelled without the spaces.
  • Ref. 2 is missing its author and access date. Ref. 21 also needs its access date.
  • Moore noted that these remarks sparked a similar outrage and led to the formation of the "Vermin Club". Move the inline citation of ref. 43 to the end of this sentence.
  • Add the |url-access=subscription parameter to references behind a paywall (ex: The Washington Post).


Spot check: 3, 5, 9, 13, 17, 25, 29, 32, 40, 44 - no issues

3. Broad

  • ...it had "changed the history of the world, and he [Haidt] may very well be right... This quote needs some more context, who is Haidt?
  • Is there anything more to add to the "In popular culture" section?

4. Neutral
I do not have any concerns regarding neutrality. The article presents how both sides viewed the statement and clearly identified opinions versus facts.

5. Stable
No concerns regarding stability.

6. Illustrated
Images are in the public domain or are free use, are relevant, and have suitable captions.

@Riley1012: I finally finished my new changes. I gave myself a break to make sure the article looked great. I noticed that one of the citations is a mirror of an original article, and so I fixed that. Yoshiman6464 ♫🥚 21:08, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Everything I suggested is  Done, and I will pass this article. -Riley1012 (talk) 23:36, 28 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]
