Donation to Trump

Under lobbying it should include:

Meta agrees to pay Trump $25 million to settle lawsuit over Facebook and Instagram suspensions

[1]https://www.npr.org/2025/01/29/nx-s1-5279570/meta-trump-settlement-facebook-instagram-suspensions Uhhhhhhhhok (talk) 02:52, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

As you almost certainly already recognize, characterizing such a settlement as a "donation" is a point of view and not a fact. --ZimZalaBim ^talk 03:50, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

In the article it states “The payment represents a significant victory for Trump, and another step in Zuckerberg's efforts to court him.”

If you’re courting politicians, that’s lobbying is it not?

Would a separate section with heading “Efforts to Court Politicians” be a more appropriate way to present this information? Uhhhhhhhhok (talk) 04:05, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Mention of the settlement makes sense. Trying to frame it as "courting politicians" seems WP:POV/WP:SYNTH. Since you have only 3 other edits before this, I am concerned you might have a paritcular POV you're trying to insert here? --ZimZalaBim ^talk 04:28, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

You can frame it how you like but I don’t think I’m allowed to make edits but it should be publicly visible on Wikipedia that they are settling this for $25 million and perhaps add it was a possible attempt to court Trump. Uhhhhhhhhok (talk) 05:57, 30 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]

need an anchor for direct access to "move fast" quote, and update redirect link(s)

Since other articles (e.g. Disambiguation page) link to Wiki "Move Fast" page that has apparently been changed to a Wiki redirect, e.g. [2],

there should be a direct anchor to the "Move Fast..." quote instead of just History. Also, the redirects should be updated to this new direct anchor (instead of current History anchor). 2001:861:8B80:6ED0:495B:6129:7369:1473 (talk) 08:57, 29 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]
