This stereotypes conservatives as positively discriminatory which is completely false. The left discriminated against whites and Jews and the creation of the Jim Crow laws but we don’t bring this up? This information is hugely biased. Additionally nearly all the trump rallies have 50k-100k in people and there are tons of polls that will show his favoritism well over 50% but these charts don’t show that at all. Why even produce the data if it’s not accurate? 47.187.166.68 ( talk) 02:18, 22 March 2022 (UTC)
I've rewritten the article to make it more comprehensive and up to date. Previously, the majority of it was based on a single model published by Pew Research in 2005. I've moved all of the content about the Pew Research typology model to the article Pew Research Center political typology and rewrote this article using a better variety of sources to give a broader overview of the topic. Many of the new sections could still benefit from expansion, but I believe I've addressed the problems that this article previously had. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 02:09, 26 March 2022 (UTC)

Hi there @ Thebiguglyalien:, I've decided to sink my evening into reviewing this. Given the length of the article, I'm not certain I'll finish tonight, but I'll give it a go. The most cursory of glances looks very promising, but I will now go through it with a fine tooth comb. Sorry it took so long to be reviewed! Xx78900 ( talk) 19:17, 5 September 2022 (UTC)

Okay, I'm gonna leave it there for tonight. I'll swing by for the next bit tomorrow! My early concerns about the scope of this article is that it leaves out (in my head) a lot:
I understand that this is an encyclopedia article and you can't put everything in, but as an outsider who knows very little about American political history, it seems bizarre that these major associtations with it have been excluded. That said, this article is very well written and largely well sourced, and I'm rather confident that should the issues of scope be addressed, this should, pending further review, pass fairly handily. Cheers! Xx78900 ( talk) 20:32, 5 September 2022 (UTC)
Gotta go, I'l lcomment more later!
Okay I've been gone a few days (sorry!) but I'm back to continue the review.

Okay, so that's the article reviewed entirely once. I know I have left a lot of comments, but this article is much letter than that number would imply, it's really good stuff. I do think that in it's present form it won't pass GA because of content omissions, but I think that it's very close and that you will have it up to quality soon. For that reason, I would put it on 7-day hold, but given the length of the article and the extensions necessary, I'm going to hold off actually filling in the GA review box until you've had time to make the changes and additions (or at least argue against them!) I've suggested here. At that point I'll read through it again and specifically comment on the GA criteria. So take your time on this, and when you're ready, ping me and I'll return to the review. Good job on the article!
Hi Thebiguglyalien, here's some of my preliminary comments for you.
Fascism was never widely accepted in the United States, and no fascist party ever gained prominence in American politics.– This is unsourced.
I also see that the reviewer has not edited in over a month. I am willing to take over the review if you'd like. –– FormalDude (talk) 06:50, 30 October 2022 (UTC)
about one quarter of the American public self-identifies as liberal.– Lacks context, add that this makes it the smallest mainstream ideological group.
Many separatist movements have advocated secession from the United States, though most of these movements have seen little support.– Fails verification.
Socialists advocate the abolition of capitalism– Fails verification.

Roosevelt claimed that he rejected imperialism, but he embraced the near-identical doctrine of expansionism" which appears to be somewhat at odds with the content you added. –– FormalDude (talk) 04:53, 6 November 2022 (UTC)
Some of the images do not appear to pass the relevance criteria per MOS:IMAGERELEVANCE. The Depiction of the signing of the Constitution in 1787, for example, could be added to almost an article that discusses revolutionary America or American political history. Martin Luther King Jr. at the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom in 1963 is also an extremely broad image. And images of individual presidents are almost certainly overused. Could we try to curate some more pertinent images? Something like File:March on Washington edit.jpg is better than the Martin Luther image as it adds information to the article that the readers do not yet have (in this case, the size of crowds involved in civil rights-era protests). –– FormalDude (talk) 09:42, 5 November 2022 (UTC)
