This woman made a post a week ago stating that Trump will make the great reveal today. I guess he still has a few hours left to do that.

This guy says Trump will soon reveal technology that will revolutionize transportation, but all of the replies are just concerned with when he is going to bring out the medbeds.

A poll is posted asking people if they believe medbeds are real. 63% say yes.

This guy replies saying the town where Trump got shot actually already has a medbed center open.

What the heck is Tesla BioHealing? Any connection to Musk, or are they just piggybacking off the name?

https://www.teslabiohealing.com/

This is their website. What the heck is with that tab in Japanese? Clicking it downloads a PDF in Japanese that talks about how they provide minerals that can fix your "chi." Seems like a legit medical company.

The FAQ section on their website talks incessantly about some pseudo-health shit involving "biophotons" whatever the frick that means.

This section of the FAQ is what holds any real information. The "cover our butt legally" part buried in the FAQ.

Actually, Elon Musk already disclosed that medbeds exist in a video I saw but can't remember the name of and basically you're fricking stupid if you still think they aren't real.

Is this person a fricking bot?

Trump is going to usher in a communist utopia according to these people.

Military bases have been filled up with medbeds and very soon you will be able to go to one and get all of your physical ailments solved FOR FREE!

Very soon all hospitals will be shut down and completely replaced by medbeds. I, for one, can't wait. Thank you, Mr. President!

Wikipedia's "talk" page on the Gulf of Mexico/America/Cuba/Florida has been in an uproar the past few weeks because of 's EO to change its name. Some highlights:

If the international groups such as the United Nations group of experts on geographical names (meeting in April), the International Maritime Organisation and the International Hydrographic Organization opt-in to recognising the U.S. owned portion of the gulf as the Gulf of America, then I agree that we should concede to the name. Somejeff (talk) 05:12, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

To both sides of this "question", this entire discussion is moot, since the moment Donald Trump leaves office the next President of the United States will immediately reverse the name-change order. The Gulf of Mexico will remain The Gulf of Mexico so long as modern human society endures. Looneybunny (talk) 22:30, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

We should call it the Gulf of the Olmecs since they were there first

Google just announced there changing it on their maps Bamaboi445 (talk) 23:01, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

You had no problem with President Obama changing the name from Mount McKinley to Denali it's over if that's what president Trump wants that's what he gets you can still go on to Google maps and this nonsense on here Wikipedia and I still got to hear the same bullshit if it's good for the goose it's good for the gander it changes and it needs to be changed now today not yesterday because you don't like trump it don't matter I voted for Obama I voted for that change I didn't like that Mount McKinley got changed him out Denali but because I voted for it happened it going to happen fight it love it leave it it does not matter it's changing and we're not going to stop until it does 65.102.184.179 (talk) 10:07, 2 February 2025 (UTC)

In case editors don't realize, usage of this name has already begun: "an area of low pressure moving across the Gulf of America, interacting with Arctic air, will bring widespread impactful winter weather to North Florida, etc." StAnselm (talk) 04:25, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

That "source" is from the POLICTICAL OFFICE of a well-known extremist right-wing supporter of Donald Trump. It is not a reliable, nor independent source, and therefore should be discounted Looneybunny (talk) 22:37, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

I don't see why a mention would be a problem considering the fact that American schools (and media) will soon be teaching it as the Gulf of America. Jstewart2007 (talk) 04:09, 22 January 2025 (UTC)

Also, the moment Donald Trump leaves office the next President of the United States, (who will, considering recent events, most assuredly be a Democrat), will reverse the order, and the "Gulf of America" will vanish as quickly as it appeared, just another example of exactly why Donald Trump was the worst pick for President in American history. Looneybunny (talk) 22:35, 1 February 2025 (UTC)

This Looneybunny person has posted similar comments on multiple reply chains even if it is questionably relevant

Seriously, how long are the admins going to drag their feet on an official government change? Regardless of whether people like it or not the Government of the U.S. as well as major state and private institutions will refer to it as the Gulf of America going forward unless the change is reversed. The title of the article doesn't have to change but the intro to the page should at the very least include "also known as the Gulf of America in the United States" and there should be a new page on the dispute itself like the pages for the disputes around names of the Persian Gulf and Sea of Japan respectively, instead of relegating it to two clearly tacked paragraphs at the end of the etymology section. No one else outside of the Koreas calls the Sea of Japan the "East Sea" but the article intro still recognizes the dispute's existence, why isn't this any different? Syracuse58 (talk) 00:10, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Because it's Drumpf silliness and not something that has to be indulged here. Among all the other reasons given. Acalamari 02:54, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

I think we're going to be stuck fielding whatabouts from the people who erroneously believe that the United States should be allowed to rewrite reality like O'Brien from 1984 for a very long time if we don't start aggressively clerking this page. An RfC generally has a shelf-life of minimum six months. Can we please have a moratorium on discussions of American nicknames for the Gulf of Mexico for the next six months so that we have the clarity of consensus necessary to clerk these repetitive arguments promptly? Simonm223 (talk) 14:57, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

The nonsense is from those fighting so hard to pretend like the American government doesn't have the authority to name things. It's hilarious to see how quickly Wikipedians tripped over themselves to change Mount McKinley to Denali, and how hard they're ignoring the same arguments to change it back, same with this page. Ortizesp (talk) 15:20, 11 February 2025 (UTC)

Funnily enough, although both the Gulf of Mexico and Denali name change were part of the same EO, Denali's wikipedia page intro has already been changed to include the tagline "Denali, federally designated as Mount McKinley"

Oppose, see the example of Clingmans Dome, which was changed by Wikipedia the very same day Biden changed it. Funnily, all these scruples about COMMONNAME and all those "voices of concern" were nowhere to be seen. XavierItzm (talk) 01:13, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

This is a comment for the RFC that isn't open right now. Comparing a relatively obscure mountain in Tennessee to an internationally important body of water isn't doing this argument any favors, politically motivated or otherwise. Departure– (talk) 01:57, 12 February 2025 (UTC)

We should rename the Atlantic Ocean to the American Ocean so that people stop worrying about the gulf name change since then it wouldn't be as big of a deal.

Strong Support It is important to address the elephant in the room here: There is a strong liberal bias on Wikipedia. By comparison, the Obama administration changed the name of Mount McKinley to Denali in 2015, and the Wikipedia editors were almost tripping over themselves trying to make the name change from Mount McKinley to Denali. I understand that the Gulf of Mexico is a different case in that the Gulf of Mexico is not entirely within the borders of the United States, as Denali/Mount McKinley is, but I think that at the very least the president's executive order must warrant changing the title to: "Gulf of Mexico, officially the Gulf of America in the United States." To me, any opposition to simply noting that it is officially called the Gulf of America in the U.S. is bald-faced activism protesting the name change more than it is actually rooted in reason, evidence, and consistency across articles. U.S. Federal Agencies will henceforth be referring to it as the Gulf of America. If someone sees the name Gulf of America on a U.S. Federal map and enters it into Wikipedia, they'll need to scroll down to the middle of the page and read a paragraph buried in the article containing irrelevant information such as a comedian Stephen Colbert's comments on the name to try to make sense of why they're seeing Gulf of America on a map. Wikipedia is an encyclopedia designed to transmit information; activism and bias should be discouraged. (For evidence of such activism and bias, just look at the opposing comments above describing this as a "stunt"; yet no one ever described Obama's name change from McKinley to Denali as a "stunt." Such opposing positions are not rooted in reason, only bias and activism.) Ambrosiaster (talk) 18:48, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

This really is the essence of false balance. "We shouldn't call something Trump does a stunt, unless we can also describe something unrelated that Obama did as a stunt." (We can unpack the facts if you like, but this isn't the Denali page; it's the Gulf of Mexico page.) Things can be qualitatively different from each other. Describing different things with different terms isn't bias, it's analysis. And sometimes the analysis can quite validly (if informally) be 'yeah, that's a stunt'. Biden claiming to ratify the Equal Rights Amendment was also a stunt. GenevieveDEon (talk) 19:17, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

NB: The above user is currently blocked from editing in the main space, as a sanction for having edit warred on the Gulf of Mexico article. GenevieveDEon (talk) 19:26, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Correct. And the editors who were warring to include comments from comedian Stephen Colbert and to revert the changes with even more frequency than me were not temporarily blocked from editing. Further evidence of bias and activism. Thanks for pointing that out. Ambrosiaster (talk) 19:31, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

That's an interesting linguistic tic you've got there, always pairing "bias and activism". GenevieveDEon (talk) 19:33, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Support in a way its very similar to Deadnaming if the federal government wants it to be Gulf of America then that is what it should be called. Did we have this type of vote when Ellen Page changed her bame to Elliot? I know its not a human but it still applies here. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Fruitloop11 (talk • contribs) 14:22, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

You mean his name'. And no it's not, because Eliot Page is the leading authority on what his own name is - it's within his power to choose it, and he did. He is, in fact, the individual affected. Neither the President of the USA, nor the US government generally, are the Gulf of Mexico, nor do they own or control it. It's international waters, and it is beyond the power of any arm of the US government to change its name unilaterally - even in common usage within the USA, never mind globally. GenevieveDEon (talk) 15:20, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

You are so terrified, I can tell your hands start shaking every time you type. The fact is it WILL be changed you need to stop harassing all support voters.

Thank you. This user's engagement certainly veers more on mud-slinging than it does on civil discourse in my opinion as well: (1) She told me I have a linguistic tic and (2) She tried to undermine my position by claiming that I had a very temporary ban for an edit war. She is free to reason through it, but she is mostly engaging in name-calling and attempting to shame the support voters. Ambrosiaster (talk) 16:37, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

I knew before I posted she was going to reply to me, so I was on the defense. I think anyone will see this person isn't using the discussion board the way it is intended. It's all about bullying someone who doesn't have the views as you. Fruitloop11 (talk) 16:49, 26 January 2025 (UTC)

This strikes me as in line with Facebook's actions of lightening censorship and Twitter's actions of existing past 2022 of trying to be in line with the new Trump government because if I'm not mistaken they're facing a pretty serious federal anti-trust lawsuit. What shows up in Google maps does not necessarily reflect what is in common usage. Departure– (talk) 01:24, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

You do understand that this is merely a question of entering in the lead ", officially Gulf of America in the United States," not to change the title wholesale. As pointed out earlier, the moment that the Obama admin changed the name Mt McKinley to Denali, liberal Wikipedia editors changed it forthwith and added the hashtag #ThanksObama! Common usage was moot at that time because everyone knows that the common used term was Mount McKinley, not Denali. But now all of a sudden common usage returns to the forefront. Ambrosiaster (talk) 04:18, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

In sum, stop treating common usage as a dispositive factor. It was not dispositive for Mount McKinley, and in that case, the entire article name was changed—a much more drastic measure than is being proposed here. Ambrosiaster (talk) 04:20, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

Wikipedia:No personal attacks: "Comment on content, not on the contributor." Better read up the policy. Also WP:OTHERSTUFFEXISTS. Gotitbro (talk) 04:58, 28 January 2025 (UTC)

I hope that is not directed at me. Defining someone who posted #ThanksObama in the edit line of the Denali article as a liberal is a personal attack? Read the link I shared above: While redirecting the Mt McKinley article to Denali, an editor inserted the political line into the edit #ThanksObama. That to me is far less neutral and inappropriate than me defining such an individual as a liberal. Certainly a conservative didn't write #ThanksObama. No one was attacked personally here.

Opppose (changing the name back to McKinley on the website) per WP:COMMONNAME and WP:CRYSTAL. This move request is premature and entirely based on a political maneuver that likely is not going to affect the common nomenclature of the mountain. Its status among governmental figures is not relevant to the article's name. — The Hand That Feeds You:Bite 15:19, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

In the above discussions, it's been made clear that both are common names. If "McKinley" is the name that the government and Associated Press are going to use, it should be given precedence as the title. Derpytoucan (talk) 18:02, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

Are the majority of reliable sources going to follow the federal government and the Associated Press? Is every publication that adopts the AP stylebook going to discard Denali completely? It's too soon to tell, and we shouldn't react on the spur of the moment. XOR'easter (talk) 20:03, 25 January 2025 (UTC)

How many times is the goalpost of "well not ALL RS call it McKinley" going to be moved over the next four years? There's already a precedent that's been set when the article was renamed in 2015. If McKinley is a common name, and its the name that the federal government and Associated Press are going to be using, it should be the article's title. I'm fine with waiting until the Secretary of the Interior has actually made the name change official, and perhaps seeing how other RS call the mountain when reporting on that event, but implying that we need to wait any longer to rename the article is absurd, especially given the aforementioned instant renaming in 2015.Derpytoucan (talk) 21:31, 25 January 2025 (UTC)
