Article Revision Draft Version 2
In addition to the many in-person protests discussed thus far, there has also been a lot of Anti-Trump activism on social media; the activism on social media is represented by various hashtags. The following are several prominent examples of social media opposition.

#Resist
One of the most consistent hashtags on social media that has been used in the Anti-trump movement is #Resist. #Resist was first used on Twitter, Facebook and other platforms commencing immediately after the election in November. Though the exact origin of this hashtag is unknown, it quickly caught on and spread various social media platforms.

Generally, this hashtag symbolizes solidarity against Trump. It is also used alongside other policy specific hashtags targeting marginalizes groups such as minorities and women. Though its height of popularity occurred during the days following Trump’s inauguration, it has resurfaced during times of political controversy and animosity. For instance, there was a notable spike in usage throughout the week of Trump’s response to the White Supremacist Charlottesville rally. Moreover, in the three days following the announcement of the initial Muslim ban in late January, #Resist appeared in over 2.5 Million tweets. Several prominent celebrities have used the hashtag to show opposition to Trump, including Shailene Woodley, Zendaya, SIA, Rosie O'Donnell, Cher, Olivia Wilde, and Sophia Bush.

In addition the #Resist movement has been adapted to many different forms as it has been associated with the #BlackLivesMatter movement.

#NotMyPresident

 * 1) NotMyPresident gained immediate popularity following Donald Trump's presidential election win on November 8, 2016.  Following Trump's win, #NotMyPresident immediately trended on Twitter and the hashtag was used in over 78,000 tweets. Facebook was also used as an outlet for #NotMyPresident. On November 9, 2017 a Facebook event titled "Trump is Not My President" was created and received over 40,000 interactions. The page was an example of social media activism transferring into real world protest, as a march in Union Square, New York was created. #NotMyPresident was also used by social media influencers other political players.After the Charlottesville Riots, Democratic Senator Brian Schatz from Hawaii tweeted that Trump is “not my president.”


 * 1) NotMyPresident was also met with criticism. Opponents of the movement feel as though this hashtag is more divisive than it is helpful. They believe that saying “#NotMyPresident” undermines America’s democratic values as a whole.

#StillWithHer
The hashtag #ImWithHer was first seen on Twitter, when Bill Clinton was watching his wife in the debate and decided to tweet his support: “What happens in Vegas… is I watch @HillaryClinton prove she’s the most qualified candidate for POTUS. #ImwithHer.” This tweet, posted in October 2015, gained more than 9,000 retweets and created a new campaign slogan for the Hillary 2016 campaign: “I’m With Her.” Many Twitter users use #StillWithHer hashtag to “express their messages of hope, sadness,and determination following the 2016 Election.”

Great work on the extended details the #Resist hashtag. I would recommend adding additional information about #NotMyPresident since it is not as developed as the other two hashtags (#StillWithHer and #Resist). After doing some searching I came across the dates of when the hashtag’s were initially used, maybe it would be a good idea to add that to #NotMyPresident (November 9, 2016) and #Resist (November 8, 2016). Reference found:  http://knowyourmeme.com/memes/events/notmypresident-anti-trump-protests. Lastly, when the information is added to the article I would change the order in which they are presented on Wikipedia. Perhaps presenting them in chronological date order.

It's really a great idea to include the social media reactions in the Protests against Donald Trump article. I noticed that you have included several reliable sources, like the Time magazine, New York Post, etc., which is really nice. I also noticed that in the #Resist section, you mentioned "#Resist appeared in over 2.5 Million tweets", but I didn't see a source citation, it's a good idea to include the source for this Twitter data. I would also suggest perhaps you guys could use Google Trend and get some more data of popularity of a specific hashtag.

 Peer Review: Zeeshan Rauf 

Good job so far, I like your idea of adding the hashtags. You do a good job of maintaining a neutral tone and your sources are definitely reliable. I do, however, think you should cite the comment about #Resist appearing in 2.5 million tweets. You do a great job of explaining the origins of each of the hashtags, but I think that you should make an effort to explain the relationship between these different hashtags, like why are there variations, and why might certain ones be used in certain instances. It would also be great if you could find some Twitter data on #StillWithHer, like you have for #Resist and #NotMyPresident. In addition, you should try to add more content, if possible, to #NotMyPresident and #StillWithHer, as they seem underdeveloped compared to #Resist. Overall, I like your structure, and I think your additions are beneficial to Wikipedia.

Article Proposed Changes
We're focusing on Protests against Donald Trump (and the #Resist movement), and despite the fact that there is a very cohesive article already written about that, there is no section for the Social Media impact. We think this is the best opportunity for us to add important info about our topic to Wikipedia. We were thinking of maybe including a timeline, and could also outline the various platforms being used.

The following sources could be useful for us in compiling information: This is a fairly recent topic, so I wouldn't expect to be able to find any books/non-online sources. That's completely fine, as the scope of our research covers only the social media impact (and books ≠ social media).
 * News articles about specific movements/events
 * https://twitter.com/search?q=%23RESIST (search feed for #Resist)
 * Popular/trending facebook/instagram posts against Trump
 * Major news sources (CNN, Fox, BBC, etc.)

Talk Page Interaction
On October 10, 2017 we added these suggestions to the talk page:

"In reviewing this article, it has become apparent that the article focuses solely on physical protests and neglects the strong social media protests that have been occurring over the past year. There has been an explosion of trending tweets such as #NotMyPresident and #ResistTrump. I plan to analyze the collective protests against Donald Trump through social media hashtag analysis and through reputable articles relating to the subject. I believe this additional information will make the article more complete and representative of the total opposition that has taken place, rather than just the physical protests. The analytics will be done mainly through google trends, but I am attempting to find a better social media engagement tracking service. If anyone has any suggestions, please feel free to respond!"

Article Evaluation
=== Article: United States Presidential Election, 2016 ===
 * Everything in the article is relevant to the topic. The article does an especially good job of examining the election from every single angle imaginable while remaining neutral in tone.
 * I do believe that the article is neutral. At times it seems as though the article is leaning towards one side or the other, but this being a very unique election, even presenting the facts sometimes seem biased. For example, the article stated that Trump had a "surprise victory." Although this at first seemed biased, it is factual that he was behind in all of the polls, and his victory was a surprise.
 * The article does a good job of providing the Democratic and Republican side of everything presented and has a lot of data driven sections. The third party candidates are a bit underrepresented in comparison to the main candidates, but they were not as large of a part of the election.
 * The links work and it does support the article claims.
 * All of the results and charts are cited from official result websites and appear accurate. The remainder of the information is mainly from respected news articles such as the NY Times and the Chicago Tribune. Some argue that these types of sources have a specific agenda but the information taken from the sources seem neutral. I found one source that linked to a FB page called the "Hamilton Electors" which had various news articles, so I am unsure about that source.
 * The information is up to date and even touches on events that occurred post election such as the Russian tampering investigation.
 * The conversations that arise in the talk pages seem to focus on the article being to left leaning, for example one person mentioned that there was no mention of Clinton's health issues but focused on Donald Trump's tape for a good portion of the article. There is also talk about wikipedia not being the place to involve emotions and simply state facts.
 * The article is a part of the Wikiprojects: Donald Trump, Elections and Referendums, Hillary Clinton, Politics/American, United States/Government/Presidential Election. It does not seem to rate the article specifically but it rates each of the Wikiprojects as "B-class" so I'm guessing the article is also a "B-class" article which is good but not great.
 * We are yet to talk about the topic but I'm sure our discussions will be much more heated



Potential Article Choice
After speaking with Samantha and clarifying what the assignment was we found a few articles to potentially edit.
 * 1) Lebron James (In Relation to Donald Trump)
 * 2) *  There is a section about Lebron James' off the court activities but it is lacking his many instances of activism. Lebron recently engaged in a war of words on Twitter with Donald Trump and has been outspoken in his opposition of our President. Nowhere on his page does it reflect on the political activism and commentary that Lebron James has made opposing Donald Trump;we think we can contribute this information to the article.
 * 3) Mark Cuban ((In Relation to Donald Trump)
 * 4) * We were interested in Mark Cuban's recent comments regarding the athlete's right to kneel for the national anthem. This directly related to Cuban's opposition to Donald Trump, and the timing is uncanny, him having made his comments immediately after Trump came out saying athletes need to stand. We noticed there's a section on his Wikipedia regarding political activity but this has not been addressed. We believe we can attribute this information to the article.
 * 5) Milo Yiannopoulos (In Relation to Donald Trump)
 * 6) *MIlo Yiannopoulos is a avid supporter of Donald Trump and an advocate for free and unrestricted speech. On his page there is a section dedicated to his long standing connection to UC Berkeley, but it does not cover the protests that incurred resisting him and his message this previous week. We can contribute by adding this information to the article.
