The Half Barnstar | |
For your nomination of Sturmovogel 66 as a candidate for the 2016 Military Historian of the Year I present you with the Left Half of the Half Barnstar. All to often, it is easy for us to overlook deserving editors, contributors, and participants, so it is a welcome development to know that the contributions from others are still noticed and appreciated by our community.

Wishing good health and happiness as we start the new year! --

You need to do a QPQ for this nomination. Apart from that, the article is fine. Joseph 2302 ( talk) 14:04, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
I did discuss on the talk page, where consensus was to use the title that is in the actual document, at least until an executive order number is available. Anythingyouwant ( talk) 22:17, 29 January 2017 (UTC)
It now has an assigned EO number, since 11:15am EST. Federal Register published a publication notice, assigning 13769 to the EO in question. Public inspection document released today, with official EO publication scheduled for tomorrow, February 1. To stave off a potential flurry of name changes, I have taken liberty to insert a short summary of same in main article, updated List of United States federal executive orders 13765 and above with information available as published on FR website, and am contacting you -- the editor who effectively posted the 'please don't change' notice -- to make the if/when call on changing the title as appropriate.

Dear Ed17,
Do you think that the Wikipedia article Donald Trump, is becoming too big even with separate summaries, and other Main article pages that there already to decrease the size of the page? It is starting to get so interesting, that even with all the breaking into other articles, and making a summary of the articles in the sections, sub-sections, sub-sub-sections, on Donald Trump, and the page is still this big.
The point I am trying to make here is that, the immense size of that page is already big enough to affect the performance of web browsers on laptops and netbooks. I do not see this problem yet on desktops. Although the size this page is taking up on servers, is nearly reaching around, 350KB according to Donald Trump: Revision history, that is almost the size Administrators Notice Board is taking on servers. I think you know how long ANI is since you are an admin, as stated on your User Page. FYI, even Barack Obama's, George W. Bush's, Bill Clinton's, and Ronald Reagan's page, are all ether nearly or not at all the same size on the servers. The page sizes for those pages can be seen on their Article Revision History pages. However, this is the size of their Wikipedia Article, after their presidency.
However, I think the reason behind why web browsers are starting to almost freeze when loading the page, is because of the number pictures that are seen on the page. All I wanted or should I say, wanting to do, is to, inform you about this problem that I have noticed when that article page is loading. I understand and can see from the page history, that the info, on the page is trying to get reduced. However, I think that as time goes on more and more images will also, be added to that page. I think that a discussion page should be made, where people discuss whether there should be a limit on the number of pictures an article should have, based on its size. Another thing I thought about, was making an article about the summaries on Donald Trump's Wikipedia article, and making a summary of the summary. This would decrease the size of the page further.
I am just trying to state my concern over the size problems, of the Wikipedia Article, Donald Trump.
Sincerely,
