Incorrect newspaper name[edit]

Under the section The Mar-a-Lago Club, in the last paragraph, the incorrect newspaper name is used in the text. It should be Pittsburgh Post-Gazette. This can be confirmed if you look at the foot notes for this paragraph. The name given is not a valid Pittsburgh newspaper. Si Guy 57 (talk) 14:51, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Done. Thanks for finding that error. -- Valjean (talk) (PING me) 18:19, 7 October 2023 (UTC)[reply]

Contradiction?[edit]

The section on the origin of the name states that "Mar-a-Lago means "sea-to-lake" in Spanish, referring to the fact that the resort extends the entire width of Palm Beach, from the Atlantic Ocean to Lake Worth Lagoon", but then the section on Trump's acquiring the property states that he reduced the price by "purchas[ing] the land between Mar-a-Lago and the ocean from Jack C. Massey, the former owner of KFC, for $2 million, stating he intended to build a home that would block Mar-a-Lago's beach view." This seems contradictory? 2A02:C7C:364D:A400:130:F18C:6B93:9686 (talk) 2A02:C7C:364D:A400:130:F18C:6B93:9686 (talk) 21:19, 15 November 2023 (UTC)[reply]
