Fireworks
"During the early 20th century these fireworks became bigger, more powerful, and dangerous. Between 1900 and 1930 more than 4,000 people were killed by fireworks. Governments began regulating the use of fireworks in the 1930s. Explosives are classified as Class A , Class B  and Class C. Class C fireworks must not contain more than 50 mg of explosive.  Some very dangerous fireworks, such as cherry bombs, M-80s, and silver salutes, are banned in all states, but continue to be made and sold illegally. Most firework deaths and injuries in the United States today are caused by these illegal devices."

Trump
"Trump has said racist things. Trump stated that he wanted to build a wall between Mexico and America to restrict illegal immigration. He has already begun making plans about how much it will cost and what materials to use. In addition, Trump issued a travel ban, preventing refugees from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the USA. Furthermore, he was disrespectful towards the parents of a U.S. army officer. Trump insulted the soldier’s mother by implying that she was forbidden from speaking because of the couple’s faith. All of these examples show racism and imply that perhaps, Trump is too prejudiced to be a President."

English Wikipedia
Because English is such a widely used language, the English Wikipedia draws many users and editors whose native language is not English. Such users may seek information from the English Wikipedia rather than the Wikipedia of their native language because the English Wikipedia  often contains more information about general subjects. Successful collaborations have been developed between non-native English speakers who successfully add content to the English Wikipedia and native English speakers who act as copyeditors for them
