Bill Barr and similar

Does Bill Barr really belong in this list? He has said Trump shouldn't be anywhere near the oval office. Now, he says he'll vote with his party. He still compares putting Trump in office to playing Russian roulette. Is it misleading to count him as an endorser? 2600:1702:4E36:6110:1879:C105:99BF:212E (talk) 04:07, 19 April 2024 (UTC)

Milei endorsement?

Javier Milei made some statements about Trump before becoming President that could pass WP:ENDORSE. But now that he's President, he's refused to offer a statement of endorsement: [1]. Should we only consider his statements as President, or include those made when he was a presidential candidate? Dingers5Days (talk) 15:11, 6 May 2024 (UTC)

Angela McArdle (Chair of Libertarian Party) Endorsement?

In her endorsement of Chase Oliver, McArdle states that she is endorsing him as the "best way of stopping Biden" and goes on to make several statements supportive of Trump. McArdle can also be quoted as making similar statements on her X account. Here's the link: https://www.washingtonexaminer.com/news/campaigns/3026967/libertarian-party-chairwoman-strategy-protest-votes/

Does this qualify as a co-endorsement of Oliver and Trump?

652kb long page

this page is increasingly long. should we have a page for non-politicians endorsing Donald Trump's 2024 campaign? or probably even a list of senators and representatives? -- 95.24.25.87 (talk) 18:45, 16 August 2024 (UTC)

Just seen this. I’m one of the editors on the Harris page of endorsements, and we have maybe 100 less bytes. It doesn’t seem to be an issue yet, but I would recommend removing pictures. We don’t have any for the simple reason that they become misaligned with the actual endorsement, and obviously take up a lot of space. Haroldwinstanley (talk) 13:32, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Tom MacDonald endorsement?

It's clear that Tom MacDonald supports Donald Trump from his personal account. LittleContributes (talk) 21:21, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

You're not wrong but Wikipedia:Political endorsements state that you cannot use a self published source. Christhegeek517 (talk) 22:20, 3 August 2024 (UTC)

I don't understand why an article should declare one's endorsement rather than the person themselves. LittleContributes (talk) 00:37, 4 August 2024 (UTC)

Because it establishes notability. If the person is notable and should be added to the article, then a news outlet will probably have republished the endorsement. If not, they probably aren’t notable enough. Haroldwinstanley (talk) 13:34, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Is TASS considered a reliable source?

While I understand that tass means truth in Russian, I have long considered TASS to be a propaganda arm of the (then) Soviet Union. I continue to make a similar assumption regarding their role within modern-day Russia. Thus, I was surprised to see a couple of citations pointing to articles on their site.

Perhaps I am mistaken, but it seems that the most recent discussion (May - June 2022) on this matter resulted in a general consensus that TASS was not considered to be a reliable source. So, unless I'm missing something, might it not make sense to replace references to TASS articles with ones published by more reliable sources? Trackerwannabe (talk) 18:37, 23 August 2024 (UTC)

>While I understand that tass means truth in Russian

it does not. truth in russian is "pravda", "tass" isn't a word. 69.162.253.196 (talk) 23:26, 26 August 2024 (UTC)

I stand corrected. However my question regarding the use of TASS as a/n (un?)reliable source remains.

Trackerwannabe (talk) 02:17, 27 August 2024 (UTC)

Seeing no discussion (save for being schooled in Russian), I added {{unreliable source?}} to TASS citations.
