 * Just a brief comment on the hooks. I wasn't sure if I wanted to nominate it for DYK at first, because a polemic hook seemed inevitable. Then these bits about the pocket Constitutions came out, which is both interesting and about as neutral as one can get with this subject. I'm not opposed to other sorts of hooks, but my preference will be to stay away from e.g. quotes from the speech or quotes from Trump. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 18:28, 5 August 2016 (UTC)

 * Looks like you found a site that copies Wikipedia articles. That article looks to be a mashup of our page and this NPR piece. &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 19:06, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
 * ...Just to state unequivocally: there is no copy/pasting going on. You can see the evolution of the text in the article history, of course. The Citizen looks to have plagiarized Wikipedia (and NPR). &mdash; Rhododendrites  talk \\ 19:19, 7 August 2016 (UTC)
