I have noticed that the talk/comments that are necessary and relevant to this article have been removed. In this critical time when Wikipedia's credibility is actively disputed, it is important that we maintain the highest levels of integrity. Currently, the history of this article's talk page has been removed. This will allow for this article to drift into bad areas that was once in. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Steve.A.Dore.4 (talk • contribs) 20:14, 4 December 2024 (UTC)[reply]
Shouldn't it be mentioned in the section about Kimberly Guilfoyle, Gov. Newsom's first wife, that she is currently engaged to be married to Donald Trump Jr.? The article mentions Guilfoyle's professional connection to Trump Sr., but it glaringly leaves out the family connection through Trump Jr. It is very notable and of great relevance that the governor of California's (and possible future presidential candidate's) ex-wife is the current girlfriend and future wife of the former president (and current presidential candidate) with whom the governor has a superlatively fraught relationship. This fact should be added to the paragraph about Guilfoyle here. 108.21.213.213 (talk) 16:24, 10 September 2023 (UTC)[reply]
As you pointed out it already mentions she is now an advisor to Trump; she also has her own Wikipedia article for people who want more info. Also she is engaged to Trump's son not Trump so not engaged to a former president nor current candidate. Remember this entry is about Newsom not his former wife of just over 4 years from 15+ years ago (who has married and divorced since her marriage to Newsom [and Newsom himself has since remarried]). If Guilfoyle & Newsom had had children (in which case Trump Jr. would be in a potential stepfather role to them), an engagement or living with Trump Jr. might be important enough to mention here.

Actually, what I'm curious about is that the reason WHY they got divorced has been completely scrubbed from this article.
Newsome was carrying on an affair with his campaign manager/best friend's wife, while he was mayor.
It is shocking that the French laundry controversy, one of the highest profile COVID-era controversies in the country, is almost entirely unmentioned in this article. It was controversial to the point where there was a time that polling had a majority of Californians expressing support for Newsom's recall, but it is given only a single sentence in the 2021 recall section. This alone should be given much more attention in either "ethics concerns" or "COVID-19 pandemic."
Additionally, Newsom's opposition to prop 36, which he actively campaigned against, should probably be put in the "criminal justice" section. 97.190.52.164 (talk) 02:20, 5 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
Roughly half a paragraph in the "2021 recall election" section is plenty DUE coverage of the French Laundry incident.
Shouldn’t every article about a person who is in government state containa way of contacting that person by email or phone to submit ideas or respond to serious problems that their constituents are having?for example today I have an idea as to how the governor of California and other state officials could use the Palisade area that was recently burned as a site for wind turbines that would be protected from fire and connected to the grid with underground cables that would also be protected from fire. The winds are pretty steady at the top of the Palisades, where people should probably not rebuild homes and businesses for many reasons. The utility company could pay the owners of the property or and the government and/or the owners of Forest lands, money in return for turning over their land to the government and the utility company for their use in order to create zones where fire breaks could also be created to protect the wind turbine equipment, and grid lines, etc. how could I get such an idea out to the mayor of Los Angeles or governor Newsom and his staff. 216.107.204.234 (talk) 18:22, 11 January 2025 (UTC)[reply]
