This article has been viewed enough times in a single year to make it into the Top 50 Report annual list. This happened in 2016, 2017 and 2020.

This sentence in the opening section erroneously names Trump, when it presumably meant Melania:

Trump grew up in Slovenia (then part of Yugoslavia) and worked as a fashion model through agencies in the European fashion capitals of Milan and Paris, before moving to New York City in 1996. 2603:8000:3F01:90CD:1A1:427F:456E:F6A2 ( talk) 13:51, 4 January 2024 (UTC) reply

Trump, as in Melania's last name. Who else? Dimadick ( talk) 14:33, 4 January 2024 (UTC) reply

"Despite Donald Trump's loss of the 2020 election, Melania ended her tenure by endorsing his false statement that he had been the legitimate election winner."

The word "false" should be deleted from the above sentence and only the word "statement" should be included'.

By adding the word False, you are stating YOUR opinion and not the facts. 2601:680:CC00:FDD0:C9C0:3D21:B085:7F3A ( talk) 06:14, 17 January 2024 (UTC) reply

No, it is not opinion. It is the result of scores of court cases, recounts, and investigations and well sourced. O3000, Ret. ( talk) 21:39, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply

It says In 2005 Trump married Donald Trump. What does this mean? 2001:579:C250:2AD:4FE6:FB6E:B81C:2AC0 ( talk) 21:08, 11 February 2024 (UTC) reply

Hello! Sorry for the confusion. In formal documents, it is customary to refer to people by their last name. Melania Trump's last name is Trump. "Trump married Donald Trump" means that "[Melania] married Donald Trump."

Not done for now: If you believe it should be reworded for clarity, please reply with a specific request for the article, such as "change X to Y", verbatim. Otherwise, your request isn't likely to be accepted.

 Not done: Null edit request. It means the subject of the article married Donald Trump. Objective3000 ( talk) 21:36, 11 February 2024‎ (UTC) reply

In the first paragraph of "Life in the White House" it is stated that "In her first year, Melania gave only eight speeches, compared to 74 by Michelle Obama 'as' 42 by Laura Bush.". I believe "as" should be replaced with "and". Elliespaghellie ( talk) 05:31, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply

Thank you for catching that! It's fixed now. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 05:34, 31 March 2024 (UTC) reply

• Hi Thebiguglyalien, I’ll review this article :)).  750h+ |  Talk  02:08, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Prose

• ”Melania Trump (born Melanija Knavs;[a] April 26, 1970) is a Slovenian-American former model who served as the first lady of the United States from 2017 to 2021 as the wife of President Donald Trump.” That sentence might be a bit too long. Maybe “Melania Trump (born Melanija Knavs;[a] April 26, 1970) is a Slovenian-American former model who is the wife of President Donald Trump. As such, she was the first lady of the United States, serving from 2017 to 2021.”
• ”She changed the spelling of her name to Melania Knauss” For conciseness, consider changing to “She changed her name to Melania Knauss”
• ”They began dating, and she began adjusting to a more lavish lifestyle.” Maybe change to “They began dating, and she adopted a more lavish lifestyle.”
• ”In the month leading up to the election, she was forced to respond to the Access Hollywood tape that had caused a scandal for her husband.” remove had
• ”Her father Viktor Knavs first worked as a chauffeur, and he eventually sold car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the communist party.” Maybe changed to “Her father, Viktor Knavs, worked initially as a chauffeur before he began selling car parts for a state-owned vehicle manufacturer as he made connections with the communist party.” Might just be my personal preference though.
• ”Her mother Amalija worked as a patternmaker at the children's clothing manufacturer Jutranjka in Sevnica.” Add Amalija‘s last name.
• ”At the time, she had wanted to be a fashion designer rather than a model.” Remove had.

Referencing

• I have done a spotcheck on 3 sources [3], [150], and [175]. Just a minor concern is reference 2, from the “Dolenjski list”, a reliable source?

Final comments

• No more concerns. Address the above comments and I’ll be happy to pass the article! :)  750h+ |  Talk  02:28, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply
  • 750h+ I appreciate your taking the time to look over the article. However, I disagree that most of these are issues. This review only covers the first few paragraphs, and it does not address the GA criteria. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 22:13, 1 April 2024 (UTC) reply

    I couldn’t find many issues. I can do a double scan if you want..  750h+ |  Talk  00:00, 2 April 2024 (UTC) reply

750h+ Given the scope and contentious nature of this article, it would probably be better if it were looked at by someone with a lot of experience nominating and reviewing at GAN. Thebiguglyalien ( talk) 00:57, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply

Okay, a second opinion has been added.  750h+ |  Talk  00:59, 3 April 2024 (UTC) reply
