Talk:Donald Trump/FAQ

This page is biased towards/against Trump because it mentions/doesn't mention X. Why won't you fix it?

Having a neutral point of view does not mean giving equal weight to all viewpoints. Rather, it refers to Wikipedia's effort to discuss topics and viewpoints in a roughly equal proportion to the degree that they are discussed in reliable sources, which in political articles is mostly mainstream media, although academic works are also sometimes used. For further information, please read Talk:Donald Trump/Response to claims of bias.

Donald Trump has been convicted in the New York trial on felony charges. Why doesn't the opening sentence say that he is a convicted felon?

Wikipedia works by consensus; new information can only be added if it is either uncontroversial or if there is community consensus in favour of the addition.

A discussion on the topic of whether the first sentence should use the wording of convicted felon was held, and the outcome was 'No Consensus'; per Wikipedia's established policy and practice, this means that change is not endorsed by the community, and that the requested addition should not be made.
While consensus can change, before opening a new discussion on the same topic, at minimum, read the previous discussion and either bring new arguments or attempt to address existing arguments against the inclusion of the 'convicted felon' wording. Remember that the policy based arguments are given most weight. Failure to heed this advice may result in your discussion being summarily closed.

Please remember that the Wikipedia community does not contest or dispute the fact that the subject is a duly convicted felon, as established by the relevant reliable sources. The choice not to include such wording in the opening sentence is not meant to indicate endorsement of or opposition to Donald Trump, and is not motivated by partisan animus. Rather, this is an editorial choice, rooted in existing long-standing and community-endorsed policy.
