In a 2015 discussion, users debated between an image of Trump staring at the camera (left) and an image of Trump smiling at a CPAC event (center). Editors ultimately chose an alternative image: Trump "listening and expressionless" (right).[1]

Wikipedia coverage of Donald Trump has been a subject of controversy, largely on the English-language version, since 2015 after he launched his ultimately successful 2016 United States presidential campaign. Trump's Wikipedia article and related pages have sparked debate between Wikipedia editors, and have also often been vandalized. Both of these actions have resulted in increased media attention and subsequently some protection against editing to prevent further vandalism to the article.
