Talk:Liberal corporate tyranny

I have a ton of them on the immigration and gay/trans stuff. However, I warn you, it's going to make for a pretty long page. PatriotMongoose (talk) 21:46, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

Go ahead and add away! We have some long pages already, anyway. Thanks! --David B ^(TALK) 22:40, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

I don't want to edit conflict, but at some point I or someone should put down PayPal for opposing concealed and constitutional carry. They also allegedly refuse to process payment for the purchase or sale of firearms and ammunition. --David B ^(TALK) 22:40, 15 September 2017 (EDT)

Should this article be split?

Because of the increasing size of this article, I'm thinking that it should be split up into smaller articles in order to make them more manageable (like perhaps, make each section an article unto itself). Any thoughts on this? Northwest (talk) 17:52, 25 September 2017 (EDT)

It's still not too big in terms of bytes, but maybe the layout/format could be changed to make the article more readable? --1990'sguy (talk) 16:27, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

In general, it's probably better to avoid splitting. As 1990'sguy mentioned, different formatting could help. There are a lot of bulleted (and non-bulleted) lists which leave plenty of white space. Compacting everything would get messy too, but maybe some of it can be consolidated? Also, there are some really long, headache-inducing headings. Any chance we could shorten those a bit? It would make everything, but especially the table of contents, cleaner. --David B ^(TALK) 16:39, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

Sounds about right. A single formatting style for each of the sections could work. Northwest (talk) 16:43, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

Or we could collapse each section? Just throwing ideas out. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:57, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

I suppose that is an option.

I'm noticing a fair amount of duplication; I wonder if we could revise the structure of going state-by-state. For example, under "Actively sides with liberalism in the culture war" Lyft is mentioned for "Executive order temporarily banning six countries with Islamic terrorist ties entry into the USA" then some of their executives are mentioned for the same basic reason, then further down they are listed again as a company for "Signed brief against President Trump's travel ban". It seems like maybe this kind of thing could/should be consolidated somehow. --David B ^(TALK) 17:07, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

PatriotMongoose I hadn't realized when I made a couple edits a moment ago that you had been posting large edits not long before. If I edit conflicted with you, just wipe out my changes and post yours--mine can be easily redone. --David B ^(TALK) 17:10, 26 September 2017 (EDT)

What do you folks think about shortening this list by putting some of these longer bulleted lists into tables? Without removing any information, we could use a lot of whitespace by putting five of more columns of text instead of just one. --David B ^(TALK) 13:38, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

Good idea. As long as it significantly reduces the page length. --1990'sguy (talk) 16:43, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

Thanks, it could do that, but when there are just a couple long entries, it makes things a bit more difficult. How does this look? --David B ^(TALK) 17:30, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

Much better. I would recommend, however, adding three columns, rather than two, in order to save more space. At the same time, I am a little concerned at how many bytes making this change would add. This article already has much more than most articles have. --1990'sguy (talk) 17:59, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

I was wondering if I could push it to three or four. If there aren't any long entries, it should definitely work. I can try it with this, too.

I agree about the file size, though--most of that came from applying the ref to each entry. If we could do that a better way, it would help. However, I'll run my bot on it to trim a lot of that extra away. --David B ^(TALK) 18:30, 3 October 2017 (EDT)

The bot only took it down 1,957 while processing the entire page, which is nice but not really enough. I don't know what to do here. He did warn us he had a lot! :) --David B ^(TALK) 18:43, 3 October 2017 (EDT)
