Nieman Lab. Retrieved 14 December 2019. 'We know that Wikipedia is one of the most successful info sources on the planet. We know that if we'd go look at the impeachment hearings article, we know that dozens if not hundreds of people have gone over that and had discussions and make it solid," said John Bracken, the executive director of the Digital Public Library and the former vice president of technology innovation at the Knight Foundation.

Impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump → First impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump – There is more than one impeachment inquiry against the president (See Efforts_to_impeach_Donald_Trump#January_2021). Should be retitled to avoid confusion. Interstellarity (talk) 18:22, 11 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

There has been no second "impeachment inquiry" only a second impeachment. I do not understand why this page was moved. If a move was necessary it should have been to 2019 impeachment inquiry against Donald Trump. "First" implies that there was at least a "second", which is not the case here. The Democrats never had a second inquiry in committees. --- C&C (Coffeeandcrumbs) 19:05, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

I get the point being made here, and it makes sense, but I wonder if it would be beneficial to keep this at "first" to ensure continuity with the "first" impeachment and reduce confusion. 331dot (talk) 19:07, 15 January 2021 (UTC)[reply]

You inquire into something, not against something. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 12:00, 12 February 2021 (UTC)[reply]

@Pigsonthewing: Would you suggest moving the article to change the preposition to "into"? Graham (talk) 04:31, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

@Graham11 Yes. Andy Mabbett (Pigsonthewing); Talk to Andy; Andy's edits 09:31, 6 September 2022 (UTC)[reply]

There is a move discussion in progress on Talk:Impeachment inquiry against Joe Biden which affects this page. Please participate on that page and not in this talk page section. Thank you. —RMCD bot 23:36, 22 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]
