Sadiq Khan baby balloon

In reaction to the Donald Trump ballon, there is a Sadiq Khan balloon and protest early September. --2001:8003:4023:D900:14D9:B947:31EC:F098 (talk) 09:41, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Is there anything you disagree with in the politicalite article, or do you not like it because you call it not WP:RS? --2001:8003:4023:D900:54E5:9A90:284F:6E92 (talk) 23:43, 25 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Mostly it fails WP:CRYSTALBALL Andy Dingley (talk) 13:53, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

The Crowdfunder campaign was due to close on 18th July, then on 16th August and yet seems to now be open until 31st August which looks like mismanagement. There is a world of difference between collecting pledges and collecting £58,000 that can be spent on a balloon in the real world. This could all be pie in the sky or fakenews until there is a real life event and a balloon created. --Fæ (talk) 14:13, 26 August 2018 (UTC)[reply]

Positioning

This whole section seems to be off focus and over prominent. (Promoting false news). With another mass demonstration predicted this coming Tuesday, it is just in the wrong place. Should it be retitled Similar protests, Counter protests, moved lower, made into a long footnote, moved into a separate article Donald Trump baby balloon tribute acts?

Donald Trump Baby Ballon

Donald Trump Jr. retweeted photos that show his dad as the baby balloon and said it would be 'funny' if it was flown over Beijing in retaliation for the Chinese spy balloon. 2001:5B0:210D:E9C8:41E1:1B54:328C:543D (talk) 19:05, 8 February 2023 (UTC)[reply]
