 * Symbol question.svg Date and expansion fine. However I have a problem with the hook as I believe it is a BLP violation. Alleging that President Trump violating the constitution is not what one would consider suitable for the main page, not to mention it could be seen as POV pushing. Would need to be changed completely. Also a QPQ is needed.  The C of E  God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 19:52, 12 May 2017 (UTC)
 * QPQ now done. Looking into other issues! Edwardx (talk) 11:13, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Thank you The C of E for your review. I don't see it as a BLP violation as such, but one might argue against it on non-NPOV grounds, although I don't think there is a strong enough argument. For example, we had Template:Did you know nominations/Dissent Channel in February. We have a well-sourced article on CREW v. Trump, which I've now linked to from Painter's article. The most interesting thing for a hook is that Painter was W's chief ethics lawyer, and is now is now a prominent Trump sceptic. Edwardx (talk) 11:55, 25 May 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol possible vote.svg QPQ was problematic, and despite a promise to take care of it soon, it is still not addressed. Edwardx, either it needs to be, or you should provide a new QPQ. Thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 05:20, 11 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Sorry for the delay, BlueMoonset. QPQ now finished and article approved. Edwardx (talk) 13:41, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * The C of E, the QPQ has been finished. Please return when you can to check the article and review. Many thanks. BlueMoonset (talk) 17:31, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
 * Symbol confirmed.svg All areas seem to check out now, I do still have reservations over the hook but we'll see what the community thinks. Good to go.  The C of E God Save the Queen!  ( talk ) 22:36, 19 June 2017 (UTC)
