Wiki Education assignment: Contemporary Rhetorical Criticism

This article was the subject of a Wiki Education Foundation-supported course assignment, between 26 August 2024 and 18 November 2024. Further details are available on the course page. Student editor(s): Breanna Petersen (article contribs). Peer reviewers: Cstoneburner.

This article is way too long

This page documents a number of incidents in exhaustive detail that could be summed up in 1-2 sentences or excised completely. Because of the 24-hour news cycle, hundreds of RS articles may be written about something that may turn out to be largely irrelevant to the general topic of the campaign. In retrospect, people can figure out what was actually important and what was just noise. Now that the postmortems are coming out, it seems like a good time to follow their lead in making those judgments and paring things down.

If someone were writing this article from scratch, I can't imagine them spending two paragraphs on the "Unified Reich" video, or even mentioning it at all. I also can't imagine them spending ten paragraphs on the "Arlington Cemetery Incident," although it deserves a mention. Sections that have their own articles (such as "Rhetoric of Donald Trump") could also be pared significantly. 2601:244:200:2660:2CAA:D649:1A4E:D402 (talk) 00:27, 21 November 2024 (UTC)[reply]
