YouTube as a reference
Hi,

Please note that YouTube is listed as "Generally unreliable" in the Reliable sources list here:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wikipedia:Reliable_sources/Perennial_sources#Yahoo_News

Quite a few of the references in the Vivek Ramaswamy 2024 presidential campaign article already have non-YouTube sources listed alongside them, so the inclusion of YouTube refs are unnecessary, in my view.

Thanks, David O. Johnson (talk) 04:11, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 * I’m inclined to agree. The inclusion of these directly disimproves the article (which on an aside has been getting worse and worse but by bit recently) and we do not need them in many cases. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 12:27, 16 September 2023 (UTC)

Woow. You are being way too hard on me Ser! That is not fair. And you too, David and SPECIFICO, know the Youtube citations that provide the instance in time directly are the best. How can text only links do that to highlight the quoted text location? And where is my Time Signature Stamp button? I don't do the talk page! ~ Thanks Ser!

 * I suppose I should've been clearer. You copy only the four tildes, not the "nowiki" part. ser! (chat to me - see my edits) 16:15, 16 September 2023 (UTC)
 * Update: I've removed all of the YouTube sources where they were only being used to back up content that comes from YouTube interviews (including the same Tim Pool one 12 times or so), and removed statements entirely hinging on them. ser!

Support of President Donald Trump While some candidates, including Chris Christie and Asa Hutchinson, openly criticize former president Donald Trump throughout his ongoing legal battles,[112][113][114] Ramaswamy both defends Trump[115] and levels unspecific criticism against the former president.[116] Trump praised Ramaswamy for saying 'only...good things about me', and the two men have met several times.[117]

Ramaswamy called Trump's indictment, The People of the State of New York v. Donald J. Trump, "a national disaster."[118] Regarding the 2023 jury verdict against Trump for sexual abuse in E. Jean Carroll vs. Donald J. Trump, Ramaswamy stated "this seems like just another part of the establishment's anaphylactic response."[119] Following the federal indictment of Donald Trump in June 2023, Ramaswamy vowed to give Trump a presidential pardon if elected.[120]

After Trump's social media accounts were suspended following the January 6 attack on the Capitol, Ramaswamy and Jed Rubenfeld co-wrote a Wall Street Journal op-ed that called the attack "disgraceful", but argued that social media websites should be treated as state actors and that their ban of Trump violated the First Amendment.[16][121]

On January 13, 2024, Trump made a shocker on his social platform Truth Social alleging Vivek to be backstabbing him and saying he is not MAGA. Kunal393 (talk) 07:13, 14 January 2024 (UTC)

Iowa campaign
Ramaswamy campaigned extensively in Iowa for almost a year, visiting every county twice (which seems to be a trivia-worthy first), and focusing on atypical caucus voters, presumably to bet all on an upset victory that would transform into momentum for future primaries to make up for his relative lack of funds. Right now both this article and the 2024 Iowa Republican presidential caucuses article lack any info on his Iowa campaign whatsoever. jonas (talk) 08:45, 18 January 2024 (UTC)


 * ✅ I agree. Iowa campaigning was a main effort. The result in Iowa was what ended his campaign. It definitely deserved mention. I added a paragraph to the lede. Even if the paragraph is moved elsewhere and expanded, the lede deserves a mention. -- M.boli (talk) 12:51, 18 January 2024 (UTC)
