Include the phone number?

For most articles I do not see much point to including a contact phone number, but given that this is a crisis hotline it makes sense. The whole point of the organization is for people to call, which would seem to make the number relevant. Would anyone mind if I were to add a sentence along the lines of The Trevor Project may be reached at 866-4-U-Trevor (866-488-7386). to the end or the lead paragraph or a note in the External links section? The infobox does not have a phone number entry, but I could create a new template if there is interest in that. - 2/0 (cont.) 22:08, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

Unfortunately addding the phone no. would not be within policy (see WP:NOTDIR). That's why there is no "telephone" field in the infobox. Lionel (talk) 22:59, 15 November 2010 (UTC)

To play devil's advocate here (and personally, I could argue this either way, but heck, I'm up for a friendly debate), NOTDIR is not, I believe, a blanket prohibition on the inclusion of phone numbers within articles, but a statement that in general phone numbers are not encyclopedic. The latter framing allows that a phone number might be encyclopedic for other reasons. For example, "411" and "555-1212" are, in my view, encyclopedic at directory assistance.

Now, there's obviously a difference between 411 and 1-866-4-U-TREVOR, but what is the test of whether a number is encyclopedic? If news outlets that would normally not include the number within articles about the subject makes a point of including it (e.g., [1],[2] does that affect the test? I don't have a great answer for the Trevor number, but I do think we could make an argument for the number here without setting a precedent for completely abandoning NOTDIR. --j⚛e decker^talk 18:38, 26 December 2010 (UTC)

Add the number. 216.189.186.52 (talk) 03:50, 29 July 2011 (UTC)

I would support adding the telephone number in this instance and would agree that it is encyclopedic Ddosguru (talk) 06:08, 3 August 2014 (UTC)

Update logo to new logo

The Trevor Project's logo has changed recently, and the Wikipedia article has not been updated to reflect this. There is also no copy of the current logo on Commons, and one should be added. andritolion (talk) 04:27, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

I've updated the logo after posting the previous talk page message. Thank you WP:Discord (special thanks to User:SuperHamster) for helping me learn more about uploading to Wikimedia Commons and about how the threshold of originality can help with uploading logos to Commons. andritolion (talk) 19:01, 19 September 2019 (UTC)

Editing the Labor Union Controversy

Many folks are currently following the labor union controversy involving Trevor. I added it to the article with secondary sources, and I'll try to monitor this event for updates. However, I'd appreciate any updates that folks can make, as we find out more about what's going on! Also, I'm super sad about this, but I worked super hard to maintain neutrality during the writing process -- very much relied up X said this and Y said this to keep neutrality. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pumpkinspyce (talk • contribs) 03:14, 9 July 2023 (UTC)

Discussion notice
