Length

Due to length, I would like to consider implementing more summary style. This would apply, for example, to the Hunter Biden laptop material, which is entirely out of place and out of proportion to its overall significance, importance, and impact. I am considering trimming a lot of this as a result. Furthermore, it’s not even a real issue, it’s a manufactured controversy, and it should be given less prominence as a result.

Perhaps the Hunter Biden laptop material could be trimmed. The main article on the laptop seems to be pretty comprehensive. The section in the campaign article seems to want to leave the reader with the impression that there is good reason to think that the laptop was a Russian disinformation scheme, a claim which seems to have been conclusively refuted. As for the laptop matter being a manufactured controversy, I don't see the reasons to look at it that way. The laptop really did belong to Hunter Biden, and no evidence has emerged that anything on the laptop was inauthentic. GrinningBar69 (talk) 16:23, 3 June 2024 (UTC)[reply]
