Talk:Donald Trump

Even shorter TLDR - temporary semiprotection Talkpage spam (mostly IPs) repeatedly making edit requests/new discussions about Trump's new picture. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 02:38, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

Longer reason: See Talk:Donald Trump § Duplicate edit requests/discussions for the discussion I opened on this issue. Long story short, ever since Trump's "official" inaugural photo was released, there has been a plethora of users attempting to get it replaced/added on many pages - the most prevalent being his page, for obvious reasons. The issue is that there is no evidence whatsoever this image is a free image, and there is actually evidence that the image is non-free (either copyrighted, or barred by a NC restriction). See, for example, the current deletion request on Commons. For historical reference, this also happened in 2017 - Trump "hijacked" a private photographer's image (including posting it on whitehouse.gov claiming it was public domain after his inauguration) without their permission, and the photographer confirmed to VRT/OTRS on Commons (confirmed by multiple VRT members in that discussion in 2017) that they never permitted such. It seems likely that the same is happening here, as a user on Commons has claimed that they spoke to the photographer who wants a NC restriction on this image.

Sorry for the length of this request, but TLDR: there's tons of talk page spam (edit requests or otherwise) from mostly IP editors trying to get this almost-certainly-copyrighted image replaced in his page. I know talkpages are rarely protected, but I'm requesting temporary (maybe a week, to cover the inauguration itself) semiprotection of the talkpage to see if it may help. Any alternative ideas are welcome on the talkpage itself. -bɜ:ʳkənhɪmez | me | talk to me! 02:36, 17 January 2025 (UTC)

As one of those dealing with the problem firsthand, I'm mixed. In my view, the copyright issue isn't really relevant here; that's just background. Rather, it's the recent onslaught of drive-bys who (1) are misusing the edit request facility because they are too fucking lazy to read the information put in front of them during the edit request path (a continuous problem not unique to this situation), and (2) for some unfathomable reason assume they are the first to think of proposing the new image, so don't bother to look for an existing discussion before edit-requesting. (At the Trump article and other well-attended articles, the edit request facility is always far more trouble than it's worth—probably 95%+ of edit requests at Trump are "not done", and the other 5%− could just as easily use the normal "New section" path—but that's a different discussion.) Ultimately, I think the question is how much useful contribution is the ATP getting recently from IPs and brand-new accounts, and I think the answer is not a lot. I guess I'd lean toward supporting temp semi. ―Mandruss ☎ 06:06, 17 January 2025 (UTC)
