@Odd not sure if mods can see deleted comments, so I'm replicating mine here

@Oddthinking well, I guess I am, thanks. A lot of the original text was dedicated to trying to do a good question as per the rules of this SE. Since it was my first Q here, I might have overdone it a bit with showing relevancy and trying very very hard to use neutral language and objective questions etc.

I liked my structure better, tho :) Now, the actual Q is a bit overwhelmed by the screenshots. I'm not able to reintroduce more structure again right now, being at work ;) (deleting to keep the comments clean, you can see deleted comments, right?)

(regarding your substantial edit of my Q about the crime rate increase)

Why is there no American TV owner that digs up the Fox-News where this exact number will for sure have been published? As misleading these tweets are most of the time, they create their reality based on bits from the real one. Usually. And if that source of his does include alien law violations then it is self evident that "crime" is way up. So many possibilities to explain, so little to see in this mess of opinions in that thread.

that germany questions comments are gunna get a nuke, its like asking about swedish hand grenade attacks

'just last night in sweden, sweden can you believe'

@daniel I believe they have already been nuked once :D

@LangLangC I honestly expected far worse reactions. I was thrilled that the first two answers coughed up relevant data contradicting eachother. Too bad that the 10+10-10% answer seems to not hold up when checking the study itself (judging from the comments) - I'd love to see a result that's diverse and contradictory at first glance, but makes sense when looked at in detail

You should accept the bottom answer there just to cause some conniptions (and also because it's probably the news trump was referring to)

Funny no one had asked a question about the historic crime level in Mexico maybe historich is more weasel wordy than 10%

@hiergiltdiestfu We can see deleted comments when we take deliberate action to do so, but I didn't see any notification, so I never would have looked.

@hiergiltdiestfu Are you concerned that the screenshots are physically too large? We can do a couple of things to fix this. 1) We could replace them with just the quoted text (while retaining the links) rather than an image. (Bonus: It means Google finds the text more easily.) 2) There is an imagur trick. If you add an "m" to the filename, just before the .jpg or .png, you get a smaller version of the same file. We often use that to stop pictures dominating. The text might be hard to read.

Quite a bit of your question was, quite reasonably, asking for high quality resources. However, it isn't necessary to spend so long on that here, because our standards for references are reasonably high. The community has already been jumping on the answers demanding higher quality.

Purely a style thing: I wanted to avoid calling Trump "head of government" - it is accurate but an unusual title. I also wanted to avoid "Mister", where the honorific would normally be "President". Calling him Mister sounds like a deliberate dig, which I wanted to avoid. I'd just go with Donald Trump/Trump and avoid the whole thing.

Feel free to edit how you like - this was just my motivations.

@Oddthinking Using that trick you might as well retain the fullsize image but reserve it for on click (going from [1][1] to [1][2]; also decreases page load time). But I wonder: Doing this by hand is quite cumbersome and error prone. Is there a way to automate that a bit more?

@LangLangC I did exactly that yesterday. Sklivvz shrunk the image, but I thought it was too small, so added the ability to link to the full-sized one.

Never considered automating it. Sounds like a useful browser extenstion..

* An "extestion.." is an extended version of "extension."

Should have gone with" "president" Trump " to really grind my gears, OK I'm done with complaining about quote marks for a week

@daniel I saw your complaint! I don't think they were supposed to be scare quotes, but I see the issue.

:D

@daniel The comments that express political opinions and don't improve the question/answer are going to be nuked, yeah. But Swedish hand grenade attacks are potentially on-topic. What question would you ask?

I might some other time, I think it was either clever Wikipedia trolling or evidence of government juking the stats on all other violent crimes.

Either way it might become a bad question, as it's on the outskirts of the European migrant crisis too

@Oddthinking Seems to have been done already. That is: Done and abandoned? Didn't work for me. Too bad.

@Odd I'm reluctant to change much of the question now, since it seems to have been accepted by the community in its current form. I'll try the imgur-m-trick tonight when I have some spare time.

@daniel and Odd: the quotes were not meant to confer any type of emotion or judgement, all of these were done to show that I did not think of their content myself, like the title of the WP article.

As for Mister vs. President. I thought about that while writing the Q. Thing is, in that paragraph, I'm trying to make a point that the sed twitter account is actually his private, non-presidential account, reinforcing this by not preloading the readers mind with his job title

plus, I'm not an U.S. American citizen, so I don't feel as compelled to always adress him as President, just like nobody outside the DACH countries appears to call Merkel Bundeskanzlerin, but rather localized stuff like chancellor

I do realize that dropping the title might be interpreted as a slight, but not being a citizen of the US, I don't have any stake in that partisan feud, so it doesn't even make any sense to interpret my words in that way, as I'm not part of the action, but a very external observer and at best commenter.

That said, it wasn't intended as a slight, but used to reinforce the point that we're in theory talking about a private Twitter account (as opposed to the not so much used @POTUS account)
