boosts appreciated!!! :boostRequest:​

can somebody with more wikipedia editor clout than me please add a section on the "threads (social network)" page about fedipact?

or even just bring up on the talk page that it might be relevant to mention

i think this would help inform people about our cause lol

there are more than enough news articles about fedipact that could be cited

@vantablack Heh, as you probably know I'm not (yet) pro-Fedipact. But a Wikipedia editor's gotta do what a Wikipedia editor's gotta do. And those were excellent citations.

@vantablack Um, don't see the reply? I edit a lot so if the cites are good it shouldn't be hard.

@vantablack it only makes sense to include it, most (interesting) Wikipedia pages have a Controversy section

i definitely think it's relevant enough, too, ofc

@vantablack could you share some of the news articles here? That would definitely help kick start a section on the controversy and fedipact
