Redirect to Presidential transition of Joe Biden
Yes, I know this article is at Deletion review. Nevertheless, literally every fact contained on this page is also included on Presidential transition of Joe Biden, and like says, this is a WP:REDUNDANTFORK. At the two AfD's (1 - 2), almost all the comments were administrative and there's not really a reason to justify this being a separate article. Redirecting doesn't destroy the page history, and is reversible, so we can do it easily, and on January 20 when Biden actually becomes president then the article can be restored. — Naddruf (talk ~ contribs) 06:19, 21 November 2020 (UTC)
 * Note - Deletion review-in-question, has resulted in an endorsement of the failed AfD. GoodDay (talk) 14:55, 24 November 2020 (UTC)


 * Support. Articles can be redirected (and eventually un-redirected) as warranted per editorial discretion and consensus. Merely satisfying WP:GNG does not mandate we must give every verifiable entity a standalone article. Wikipedia doesn't run on clickbait, and there is no prize for being "first" to create an article. But unfortunately most Wikipedians would rather play pretend journalist (or rather churnalist) than encyclopedia editor. This stand-alone article would make more sense in mid-to-late January 2021, when it would presumably have non-redundant content worth reading. Lastly, based on the worldview being projected from the current president's universe, this is WP:CRYSTALBALL for an event that won't happen! --Animalparty! (talk) 00:54, 23 November 2020 (UTC)

 * Comment - I don't know whether we're just following procedure because we did this for Trump in 2016 or what, but this article shouldn't have been created as is. It's not debatable Biden's presidency hasn't started yet, and the incumbent is still challenging it and going by the rules of the U.S. electoral college it is entirely within the realm of possibility, however slim, it might pan out Trump is still the president. So I don't know how Wikipedia is going to manage this if that's the case by December, because this is obviously WP:CRYSTAL. MyPreferredUsernameWasTaken (talk) 14:43, 30 November 2020 (UTC)

Cabinet members
I think that it is a problem to call them cabinet members at this point. They have neither been nominated by a sitting president not confirmed by the Senate. You can call them "picks for cabinet positions", but frankly they're not even nominated yet, and the senate approval process is non-trivial, especially if the Senate is controlled by a party other than the POTUS, which looks like a real possibility. 2600:6C40:1900:166E:613B:167:70B2:A76A (talk) 18:01, 12 December 2020 (UTC)JMM

"Widespread" fraud is misleading
Trump and his allies made false and unsubstantiated claims of fraud, not just "widespread fraud". They made numerous false claims of specific fraud. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 00:35, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * I think it's reasonable to say they made claims of widespread fraud. They said that they had lost the election because of large amounts of fraud against them; if there was only a small amount of fraud against them, it would not be enough to change the election results. For example, Trump said that 5,000 dead people voted in Georgia.


 * By specifying "widespread" fraud, the readers are given the false impression that there may have been a bunch of fraud going on but that it was not sufficient to be "widespread". Snooganssnoogans (talk) 02:11, 1 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Widespread fraud is a more accurate statement. It is common knowledge that there is always some amount of fraud in any election.  One person voting using a dead person's registration is fraud.  What Trump and his supporters alleged was much greater than that, hence the more accurate term "widespread". Vinny Gambino (talk) 09:45, 3 February 2021 (UTC)

"Policy" vs. "affairs"
You claim in your edit summary that "'Policy' suits better than 'affairs' in Domestic policy" (and similarly for Foreign policy). You have not defended why that word change "suits better". A consensus has formed for most all the other Presidency articles going at least back to Harry Truman (and actually further back than that) to use the section headings Foreign affairs and Domestic affairs This gives the articles the focus of what issues faced the US and how the various presidents dealt with them. Using the word "policy" focuses more on what the presidents want to do, making them sound more like politicians running for office, rather than statesmen dealing with the issues. Their elections to office are covered in separate articles and are not directly relevant to the topic of their presidencies. We should not overturn the status quo and change all the articles. Discussion... JustinTime55 (talk) 17:27, 24 February 2021 (UTC)


 * It suits better because President Biden is doing the work, and policy means the full effects of work the American people are getting Chandan Kanti Paul (talk) 06:36, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * @JustinTime55 People are feeling the effects of an administration work and the President and his team are leading the administration and 'affairs' you said doesn't suit much. Thank you! Chandan Kanti Paul (talk) 06:39, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Trump's page also has 'policy' in place of 'affairs' @JustinTime55 Chandan Kanti Paul (talk) 06:44, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * @JustinTime55 Ok the matter has been resolved I will not have any problems if you write 'affairs' and I take back my previous replies. Chandan Kanti Paul (talk) 06:49, 25 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Nothing you have said makes any sense, and doesn't justify overriding the consensus established for all Presidency articles. Policy does not mean "the full effects of work the American people are getting"; it means in this context "a high-level overall plan embracing the general goals and acceptable procedures especially of a governmental body" (Merriam-Webster). Affairs in this context means "affairs plural : commercial, professional, public, or personal business" (Merriam-Webster).
 * There is nothing special about Biden in this regard, and "Biden is doing the work" is beside the point. (That isn't even true; he has advisors and counselors, and heads of the various executive departments.) "People are feeling the effects of an administration work" is dubious (WP:No original research).
 * Also, you will find as you participate in more discussions, WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS (in this case Trump) is not always regarded as a cogent argument; what counts is whether consensus is present or violated. Also, when you reply to a discussion, you need to indent your response to structure the conversation, by adding a semicolon ":" at the beginning of your reply (add one semicolon to the number that are already there.) JustinTime55 (talk) 15:04, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

@JustinTime55: The matter has been resolved you can write 'affairs'. I will not have any objections  Chandan Kanti Paul (talk) 15:42, 25 February 2021 (UTC)

Order of foreign and domestic affairs, and defense
Most of the Presidency articles place the Foreign affairs section before Domestic affairs, indicating this is an important responsibility of POTUS. Also, the Defense subsection goes first to indicate the primary importance of this policy. JustinTime55 (talk) 16:37, 26 February 2021 (UTC)

Biden's Electoral College victory
This should be added: "Biden had a narrow Electoral College victory from 3 states." He did not decisively win unlike Obama. Much like George W. Bush and Donald Trump. The popular vote does not win elections, the Electoral College. Biden won 7 more million votes than Trump but was 40,000 votes from losing the presidency. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Beco Dro (talk • contribs) 22:44, 1 September 2021 (UTC)
 * I'm not sure that should be included because it doesn't seem that relevant to his presidency. If it is included, then it should be in the election section, rather than the lead.
 * A note about the closeness of the election: Judging by only the percent of electoral votes, the election was close, but equal to the 2016 election which Trump won. Judging by the number of voters that would have been able to swing the election to the other side (i.e. the margin in the states that would have enough electoral votes to switch), the 2020 election was notably closer: 43,000 voters in 2020 vs 79,000 in 2016. —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 02:44, 2 September 2021 (UTC)

Removal of Republican Party emphasis during Biden presidency
The editor 'Lights and freedom' is helping the blocked sockpuppet Amandil remove reliably sourced content on the actions and positions taken by the Republican Party in the early stages of the Biden presidency. The content in question has long-term encyclopedic value, as it sheds lights on the interactions between the new administration, his own party, and the other party (which is the exact framing that the high-quality reliable source, Washington Post, uses). The editor's claims that the content is "irrelevant to the particular subject" is contradicted by the reliable source. Snooganssnoogans (talk) 03:55, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * I don't think it belongs regarding Biden and the American Rescue Plan. It's well known that Republicans are generally opposed to wealth redistribution and government spending, at least more so than Democrats. The article should state that no Republicans voted for the act; however this content added in this location suggests that the Republicans were ignoring the issue of the American Rescue Plan because they didn't care. Based on their prior history and ideology, it's more likely that they were actively opposed to it. The removed text muddled up the section by combining one topic (the American Rescue Plan) with an unrelated controversy (inclusivity and anti-racism issues). —Lights and freedom (talk ~ contribs) 04:09, 4 October 2021 (UTC)
 * That is strictly your own personal and erroneous understanding of politics. Thankfully, we rely on reliable sources rather than Wikipedia editors' hot takes on politics. You also appear to be assuming that readers know what you think you know about politics and that readers in the future will "know that Republicans are generally opposed to wealth redistribution and government spending" (this is also false/contested claim about Republicans). To understand the Biden presidency, it's necessary to cover what the opposition party is doing (as it affects what the presidency can accomplish and the context under which it accomplishes or does not accomplish things).

Omicron surge
The folks from the article Joe Biden recommend that I bring up a discussion from their talk page here. Over there I recommended that it was worth it to mention Biden's response to the current Omicron surge. He argued that the federal government cannot intervene in Omicron. Instead, he argued intervention happens at a state level. This is despite cases rising in all states, causing outrage:

"The Biden administration responded to the global spread of the COVID-19 Omicron variant in December 2021 by advocating for a state-level response over a federal level response. Throughout the surge, the Biden administration has been criticized for a lack of COVID tests, exacerbating the spread of the Omicron variant. When questioned about the apparent shortage of tests, Jen Psaki replied, “Should we just send one to every American? Then what happens if every American has one test? How much does that cost and what happens after that?”, causing backlash. The Biden administration responded by promising an increased supply of at-home tests later in 2022.

In the midst of an all-time high of new COVID cases, the CDC revised their guidelines, recommending five days of quarantine rather than ten without requiring a negative COVID test. This move was criticized by health experts who worry that without rapid testing, COVID-positive people may unknowingly spread COVID in workplaces under the recommended CDC guidelines. Others criticize the CDC for implementing this change following lobbying by the airline industry, leading to social media backlash against the federal government.

Biden asks OPEC to increase production
The article already mentions that Biden shut down the keystone pipeline and did other things to stop new drilling projects in the U.S., in order to protect the environment. But it doesn't mention that after he did that, he asked OPEC to increase their own production. It's also been reported by reliable sources that critics have accused Biden of environmental hypocrisy over his request. I am interested in hearing what other editors here think of including or not including this info. Here are some sources:

 * Personally I've seen the narrative that Biden is hypocritical with environmental policy discussed frequently in the media. Of course that doesn't mean it is automatically okay to include on Wikipedia, but there may be something appropriate to add to either the Energy, environment, and climate section or the Saudi Arabia and Yemen section. –– FormalDude  talk  06:04, 7 March 2022 (UTC)


 * I appreciate all of your comments, including the one that was critical of my suggestion. I agree with Biden that climate change is a serious issue, and I think he has a plausible argument about reducing drilling in the U.S. I admit to being puzzled over his request for OPEC to increase their production. I admit that I have biases, but I have yet to find any human who does not. That is why I asked for feedback from others, instead of just making the edit. We all have biases. I hope that we can listen to each other, and try to reach a consensus. Thank you for your comments. 54mmkds (talk) 01:25, 10 March 2022 (UTC)

Notice of group resource
I would like to invite any interested editors here to join the task force for Contemporary History. One of our core goals is to highlight and promote the coverage of contemporary history as its own distinct area here at Wikipedia.

We differ from a simple effort to cover current events, in that we seek to provide the editing community with resources that would allow it to provide broad and comprehensive coverage of articles on contemporary history as a broad topical field, rather than simply on individual current events as they may occur.

to that end, we have set up articles such as 2020s in political history, which allow the whole editing community to adopt a broad scope in keeping wikipedia updated with broad historical trends, topics and events, as they occur, but also as they become relevant to the field of history overall. I hope that sounds helpful and worthwhile to you. you are welcome to join us in any way, or to offer any input or ideas that you may wish. we welcome your input. thanks!! --Sm8900 (talk) 14:46, 12 April 2022 (UTC)

Unaccompanied minors
Paragraph is deceptive in presenting actual data:

''The number of migrant families and unaccompanied children entering the U.S. from across the Southwest border steeply declined in August, September, and October 2021. ''

While that may be the case the truth is that US in fact shattered records in the number of unaccompanied minors during 2021. Text needs to be updated to show this.

Increase only temporary.
’The S&P 500 stock market index increased 37.4% during the first year after Biden's election, the best first-year performance after a presidential election on record.‘

First off, that number is wrong the increase in his first year was actually 11% - Dow - 1/20/21 31,188.38 Dow - 1/20/22 - 34715.38.

Second, the market is now below what it was when Joe Biden entered office and all economic indicators are that we are headed into a recession.

While I understand WP:Crystal the market fall has given back all those gains and is now down 4% from when Biden took office. Touting an increase which went up in smoke appears as more than a little puffery. Just as an aside the line citing that references an article from November 3, 2021 not a full year into Biden’s term.71.190.233.44 (talk) 16:29, 19 June 2022 (UTC)

Lead
Why does the lead paragraph state that Biden took over as President during an "economic crisis"? This is simply not true, despite how the cited article (from NBC in far-left San Francisco) tries to spin it. The economy was strong under President Trump - the stock market was doing extremely well after years of stagnation under President Obama, we were net petroleum independent, food prices were reasonable, gasoline prices were low, etc. There is no reason that this article should have a non-NPOV statement like that, especially in the lead. Wikipedia articles should be neutral and truthful. An editor you should not be sifting through a myriad of articles to find one that spins the narrative in the direction that the editor wants, while ignoring all those that paint a more honest picture.

Lede Addition
Do everyone agree this edit (are the bills due for inclusion on lede)? I disagree, but IMHO we need more opinions. VickKiang (talk) 04:31, 1 September 2022 (UTC)
 * I don't think this is due for the lead. The other bills mentioned in that lead paragraph (American Rescue Plan Act, bipartisan Infrastructure Investment and Jobs Act, Build Back Better/Inflation Reduction Act) are pieces of legislation that were very closely associated with the agenda Biden ran for president on. The CHIPS Act and PACT Act seem to be less a product of Biden's agenda in comparison (however, please correct me if I'm wrong--I know Biden mentioned the PACT Act in his State of the Union speech and I know he mentioned that the bill was important to him due to the death of his son, but I don't think he played a major role in wrangling the bill through Congress).
 * In addition, it doesn't seem as if either of these two bills are mentioned in the article body. In an article of this size and visibility, the lead generally shouldn't contain material that isn't mentioned in the body. Aoi (青い) (talk) 08:54, 1 September 2022 (UTC)

Inflammatory language not factually correct.
The paragraph as follows overstates matters and needs correction: ‘On January 6, a mob of thousands of Trump supporters violently broke into the Capitol in the hope of overturning Biden's election, forcing Congress to evacuate during the counting of the Electoral College votes.[33] More than 26,000 National Guard members were deployed to the capital for the inauguration, with thousands remaining into the spring.[34]’

There was no mob of thousands violently breaking into the Capitol. This is incorrect. As of this writing it is HUNDREDS not thousands. '[https://www.insider.com/all-the-us-capitol-pro-trump-riot-arrests-charges-names-2021-1 At least 978 people have been charged in the Capitol insurrection so far. This searchable table shows them all.] Additionally, there were 120,000 people in attendance of the protest on January 6th Exclusive: Classified Documents Reveal the Number of January 6 Protestors as many as 120,000—would show up on the Mall on January 6, according to classified numbers still not released by the Secret Service and the FBI but seen by Newsweek. Further the National Guard responded on Jan 6th with 1,100 troops' as the citation noted for the passage states and the continued presence of the guard after the Inauguration was 2,300. The secretary of Defense has approved a request to keep nearly 2,300 National Guard personnel at the U.S. Capitol through much of spring, the Pentagon said Tuesday.

 * Newsweek is considered unreliable: WP:RSP and Insider is marginally reliable. I haven't checked the other citations but I don't believe there is any hysteria. The thousands figure comes from Washington Post as cited: With poles bearing blue Trump flags, a mob that would eventually grow into the thousands bashed through Capitol doors and windows Just because 978 were charged doesn't mean there aren't others who weren't charged. As far as the National Guard, it states All 1,100 members of the D.C. National Guard were activated but then it states Nearly 2,300 Guard personnel will remain at the Capitol through much of the spring. I'm not sure how to reconcile those two but your allegation of hysteria or overstatement is not well-founded regardless.

Can you validate in this case why Newsweek and the content in question should be considered unreliable. As it is, those numbers give us a figure to determine just how many people attended the January 6th protest. The list of people charged is also not something that would be called into question, can you provide an alternate source that shows that number as being incorrect? You are the one who is challenging the cited information and one would expect under those circumstances you would have something to validate you claims.

Section about Biden's many gaffes during his presidency and concerns about cognitive state
What do you guys think about adding a section for the notable gaffes Biden has had during his presidency as well as the concerns about his age and mental state? Not sure if this maybe belongs more in his public image article but it's definitely notable with famous incidents such as him falling down the stairs of Air Force One multiple times, off his bike, and more recently the ice cream gaffe which was taken out of context but still damaged his image. I'm not going to list every single gaffe and fall he has had but there are many more like these and everytime its reported on in the news and people even if they are mainly conservatives raise concerns about his fitness and mental state. These gaffes are having an impact on the publics perception of him with an NBC News poll in June saying 68% of voters have concerns about his mental health up from 51% in October of 2020. 43% of Democrats also have concerns now which is up from 21% in 2020. Of course polls aren't completely reliable but I think this demonstrates his constant gaffes along with the fact he is the oldest president in history are having a cumulative effect overtime on his public perception in regards to his health and mental fitness. I know there are probably W:NPOV concerns about adding this but as long as it's made clear in the new section that he hasn't been diagnosed with anything, his doctor says he is healthy and these are just speculative concerns coming mainly from Republicans it should be fine.

 * Please elaborate. If I wasn't clear let me reiterate that I don't want the concerns about his cognitive state to be presented as fact since they certainly aren't. I think his gaffes are definitely worth including because they have become a staple of his presidency and are widely reported on. The concerns even if they aren't founded on solid evidence or a medical diagnosis are having an impact on his public image which is notable. Again I would like to also ask if this belongs more in the article about his public image. It might be more relevant there then here but I'm not sure. UkraineWarProposal (talk) 22:17, 2 August 2023 (UTC)
 * Current coverage of his gaffes at Joe Biden and Public image of Joe Biden is sufficient. Any mention of his alleged mental acuity issues are unwarranted without medical diagnoses. That was the standard taken for Donald Trump when commentators and independent psychologist were saying he had mental problems.

 * Not including anything about his alleged poor cognitive state without a diagnosis makes alot of a sense so I withdraw my proposal for that. However I still think there is a lack of coverage of his more recent gaffes during his presidency and the impact it is having on the publics view of him in the public image article. Currently the article just states that conservative news outlets and Donald Trump have questioned Bidens mental acuity. Yet it makes no mention of the numerous gaffes he has had which said conservatives are using as a basis for their allegations. Currently it reads like Donald Trump and other Conservatives are making these allegations based on absolutely nothing which isn't true. UkraineWarProposal (talk) 22:30, 2 August 2023 (UTC)

Foreign Affairs and Israel
It doesn't make sense to include the National Strategy to Combat Antisemitism in this section, since it is a domestic strategy and only mentions Israel a few times. If we were to keep it in this section, we should emphasize sections that directly address the state of Israel, such as " The U.S. Government, led by the Department of State, will continue to combat antisemitism abroad and in international fora—including efforts to delegitimize the State of Israel," although this still inaccurately implies Israel is a Jewish (and not multi-ethnic) state and that criticisms of the government are intrinsically antisemitic. The document does mention that people sometimes assume that Jewish people support the state of Israel and are treated poorly based on this assumption, which might be relevant as well. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Catboy69 (talk • contribs) 18:34, 4 August 2023 (UTC)

A.I.?
I think the executive order pertaining to AI marked a big moment in the Biden presidency. He's the first president to address AI and will probably be known for his work in helping develop and regulate it much like Space Force for Trump or Affordable Healthcare for Obama or the Patriot Act for Bush. I think it will open up a new generation of enterprise with Biden largely to credit for reigning it in.

"Protect Americans from AI-enabled fraud and deception by establishing standards and best practices for detecting AI-generated content and authenticating official content. The Department of Commerce will develop guidance for content authentication and watermarking to clearly label AI-generated content."

Biden will probably be known as the first A.I. President and the face of a new generation of presidents, where A.I. becomes a perpetual issue much like the Patriot Act. Whether for good or bad, the debate will be open because of what President Biden started.

Just like George Bush lead global conversation on terrorism after the Patriot act was signed in 2001, roughly the next 15 years many journalists, pundits and political analysts argued about the ramifications of it. After Biden leaves office in 2029, I suspect in the next 30 years pundits will have discussions about the historic nature of Biden's executive order and how President Biden (2021-2029) intimated the path for a High-Technology future, and set the parameters thereof.

Just as another historic president Abraham Lincoln (1861-1865) comprehended the need for first intercontinental railroad after he signed the Act into law in 1862, Joe Biden's thorough understanding of AI and the positives and negatives thereof, will have a huge impact on future generations. I think it's (likely) if Joe Biden is known for anything in his presidency, it'll be for COVID relief and being the first high-tech oriented/Futuristic President, especially with the microchips bill and the AI order. Although presidents have used computers in the oval office like Carter and Bush, the amount of legislation related to them was scarce. Joe Biden understands the potential of AI and technology which is why he signed the CHIPS ACT. No president before him has had his mind more oriented towards the future of technology like Joe Biden. If Disruptive Tech, like AI, Electric Cars, Quantum Computing becomes a thing in 20 years, a futuristic oriented president like Joe Biden who understands this issues would be the reason, and would rightfully deserve credit as a benchmark in history. Unlike previous presidents in the 21st Century like Bush, Obama or Trump who didn't have the capacity or mental awareness to understand things like ChatGPT, or high-technology.

New Line - Approval Ratings and Image
Hello,

I am here to suggest a new line be added to the section referenced by the title above.

In the section "Approval Ratings and Image", it proceeds to mention by quote:

" According to Gallup, in October 2023, Biden's approval rating dropped to 37% and dropped 11 points among Democrats. An October 30, 2023 poll by the Arab American Institute, support for Biden among Arab Americans dropped from 59% in 2020 to 17%. The drop in support has been attributed to the administration's handling of the 2023 Israel-Hamas War."

From this I took the liberty by curiosity to do a quick lookup on Jewish voter support, to which I immediately found an NPR article from November 16 that states Jewish American support for Biden according to a poll conducted on November 5-9 by the "Jewish Electorate Institute” (which is described as "an independent, non-partisan organization dedicated to deepening the public's understanding of Jewish American participation in our democracy.")

This is also inspired; rooted when taking into account the recent Israel-Hamas War, which the Wikipedia line also references.

According to the poll when focusing on and around President Biden:

- "74% of Jewish voters approve of President Biden’s handling of the war between Israel and Hamas." - " 68% of Jewish voters say they would support President Biden over former President Trump who would have the support of only 22% of Jewish voters – an eight-point decline in Jewish voters’ support for Trump compared to a similar poll before the 2020 election." - "President Biden has a job approval of 66% among Jewish voters [. . .]" - "80% of American Jews expressing support for President Biden’s $14.4 billion request to Congress for military aid to Israel and 68% supporting the United States’ calls for a humanitarian pause to enable safe delivery of food, medicine, and water to Gaza." - "91% of Jewish voters believe that someone can be critical of Israeli government policy and still be pro-Israel" - "93 percent, said they're worried about rising antisemitism, and more respondents said they trusted Biden and Democrats to fight antisemitism as compared with former President Donald Trump and Republicans. (NPR)"

Perhaps it would be a good addition to the main Wikipedia subject I have referenced by the title, to include both Arab Americans and Jewish Americans voices when focusing on Biden's Approval Rating.

I must also add that the NPR is listed as a checkmarked reliable source according to Wikipedia. The article I have included here does not seem to be an opinion piece.

Mr. Potato Head and the American Rescue Plan.
Currently there is a segment under the American Rescue Plan subheading that goes as follows:

While debates and negotiations over the American Rescue Plan Act of 2021 were ongoing, some Republicans, including House minority leader Kevin McCarthy, Donald Trump Jr., and Rep. Madison Cawthorn, focused instead on the decision by the Dr. Seuss estate to stop publishing what many viewed as a racially-offensive Dr. Seuss book and the re-branding of the "Mr. Potato Head" toy.

Is this really relevant to be mentioned in the subheading for the American Rescue Plan for the 'Presidency of Joe Biden' Wikipedia article? it seems to me to have been more so a momentary social media reaction that didn't go anywhere rather than a continued solid push by Republican leadership against the Plan itself. It resulted in no resolutions introduced by the House, nor any pieces of legislation signed, nor any tangible changes towards the plan at all. While Mr. Potato Head was mentioned by those members it was not related to the Plan nor Joe Biden's handling of the pandemic or any actual piece of legislation related to the American Rescue Plan. Even as a vague criticism of liberal policy it appears to have no actual correlation to the plan itself. If anything, it appears to be merely added as a result of recency bias due during the actual negotiations regarding the Plans passage. LosPajaros (talk) 08:25, 28 December 2023 (UTC)

Clarifying continued recognition of Jerusalem as the capital
Re Ferret's revert for being unsourced.

As it stands, the bit about keeping the embassy in Jerusalem glosses over the context of why that decision is of significance. It links to United States recognition of Jerusalem as capital of Israel, but per MOS:NOFORCELINK I think adding even a few words of background information would provide a sufficient understanding.

The existing sources on that paragraph cover what I would like to add. Here's what I'd like it to be changed to:

"Early on the Biden administration addressed Trump's recognition of Jerusalem as the Israeli capital. The White House confirmed that the U.S. Embassy would remain in Jerusalem and it would continue to be recognized as the capital."

That should be covered by existing reference https://rollcall.com/2021/02/09/white-house-confirms-biden-will-keep-embassy-in-jerusalem/

The article remains silent about Biden's "remarks" on North Stream in February 2022, in the presence of German Chancellor Scholz, as well as about the sabotage in September 2022. 2003:C6:373C:F181:E0A5:2ADD:66B1:7D39 (talk) 00:26, 2 June 2024 (UTC)
 * In the section on Russia, On May 19, 2021, the Biden administration lifted CAATSA sanctions on the Nord Stream 2 pipeline project between Russia and Germany.
 * In the section on Europe, ranked two below Russia and one below Ukraine, President Biden promised to repair "strained" relationships with European allies in contrast to his predecessor Trump. "An attack on one is an attack on all. That is our unshakeable vow," Biden said, referring to Article 5 of the North Atlantic Treaty (the mutual defense clause).

Not hide age of Joe Biden (81)
While Wikipedia specifies the age of his political rival, Donald Trump (78). It does not show any data related to Joe Biden's age (81). This significant and revealing aspect can lead a large part of Wikipedia users to question whether the platform is neutral, impartial, apolitical, objective, self-funded, independent, etc. If his Community does not rectify, duly completing Joe Biden's file soon, then Wikipedia by default would help to confirm that his age is a really negative aspect and to take into account in order to continue as President, if he is elected in the next elections in the US.

 * Nowhere in this article is the age of Biden or Trump mentioned. Both of their bios mention their ages. What are you talking about? – Muboshgu (talk) 01:24, 19 June 2024 (UTC)
 * You are "right", as the article says "Upon his inauguration, he became the oldest president in American history, breaking the record set by Ronald Reagan" and "His age and mental fitness have also been a subject of discussion.[17]". RandomFakeAlias is right in the proper sense as the article does not mention the number of years. Readers expect that this information is given when "oldest" or "age" is discussed. And you, User:Muboshgu, are also pretty open about your lack of neutrality: "One last point: I have zero tolerance for racists and Nazis. I will block you on sight." 193.159.98.109 (talk) 02:52, 25 June 2024 (UTC)

 * If tolerating racists or Nazis is neutral, then I don't want to be. – Muboshgu (talk) 02:59, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * This escalated quickly to Godwin's law. So you accuse people as racist and/or Nazi, you judge them, and you execute them with Wikipedia administrator rights, and you keep bragging about it? Judge Dredd? Anyway: as soon as someone pointed out the missing mentioned age(s) in this article about Presidency of Joe_Biden, where factuality and neutrality is expected even more than elsewhere on WP, you jumped to attack the messenger, instead of fixing the article by adding the missing facts. Same applies to User:soibangla. 193.159.98.109 (talk) 03:18, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
 * age doesn't belong in the presidency article. it belongs in the BLP, where it is, which gets far more traffic than this article soibangla (talk) 03:23, 25 June 2024 (UTC)
